The following factors may affect the Powerline network's connection quality:  Ground Wire - Adapters should use all 3 wire sockets to boost up the Powerline communication speed to gigabit.  Noise - Generated by appliances which use your electrical system (e.g. Microwaves, ovens, hair dryer, irons, dishwashers, etc.). The quality of your household electrical wiring may also cause additional noise on your electrical system.  Distance - Long lengths of electrical wiring through your electrical system between connected Powerline adapters. TPL-422E / TPL-422E2K Expanding a Powerline Network What is a network? A network is a group of computers or devices that can communicate with each other. A home network of more than one computer or device also typically includes Internet access, which requires a router. A typical home network may include multiple computers, a media player/server, a printer, a modem, and a router. A large home network may also have a switch, additional routers, access points, and many Internet-capable media devices such as TVs, game consoles, and Internet cameras.  Modem - Connects a computer or router to the Internet or ISP (Internet Service Provider).  Router - Connects multiple devices to the Internet.  Switch -Connect several wired network devices to your home network. Your router has a built-in network switch (the LAN port 1-4). If you have more wired network devices than available Ethernet ports on your router, you will need an additional switch to add more wired connections. How to expand a home network Wireless Access Points add or extend wireless connectivity to an existing network. Integrated Powerline technology allows you to further extend your network using your existing electrical system in your home using multiple powerline adapters.
