ABSTRACT:
A system for powerline networking has an external data source derived from a world wide networks of computers. A router is coupled to the external data source and a first datasource connection. A powerline network-apparatus including a second datasource connection is coupled to the first datasource connection. The apparatus includes a powerline device coupled to the second datasource connection and adapted to receive and transmit information in a first format from the second datasource connection and adapted to receive and transmit information in a second format. The apparatus also has a virtual local area network (VLAN) device including a first input/output port and a plurality of second input/output ports. A plurality of modem devices are coupled to the VLAN device respectively via the plurality of second input/output ports and also are respectively coupled to a plurality of powerlines capable of communicating information to and from the second datasource connection.
