In the age of the Internet, connectivity has always been a big concern here in the Philippines.
Most old buildings and houses are not network ready. When you call you nearest ADSL or Broadband internet provider they usually just tell you that their responsibility only lies on one PC where their modem is connected to and it's up to you to do your own home networking if you want to share your internet connection with other areas of your home.
It means that you will have to decide whether to go wifi or wired. Now if you do wifi, there is a chance that certain areas of your house or small office will not get any signal so you have to locate your wifi in a certain area of your house where it can easily be accessed anywhere, which will require you to hire an electrician or a network team to put a networking cable running from your router all the way up to the center of house to get coverage everywhere. Now, you have to decide whether to let the cable go within the ceiling and some walls, which entail some renovation costs because they have to open your walls up and seal them again after.
Now if you chose to go wired, it actually the same process as above multiplied by the number of workstations you want to connect. MEANING, more it’s even more expensive.
Well, I found this great product, the FU Powerline Products.
What it does is convert your entire electrical system into your Home network.
What that means is all your ELECTRICAL outlets now become network sources. Just plug an FU Powerline bridge at the end and you are ready. You now have internet connection everywhere.
FU also has a Powerline WIFI Access point, meaning just plug this to any outlet you have at home and that place then become wifi ready. Imagine the convenience.
FU also has a Powerline ROUTER for those of you who don’t have one yet, this router acts as your powerline bridge at the same time it provides you 3 Lan (RJ45) Ports at the back.
FU Powerline gives you 200MBPS throughput for a paired connection. You can place up to 64 slaved connections but the throughput is also divided by the number of stations connected simultaneously, just like WIFI networks.
How it Works.
FU Powerline BRIDGE (Assuming you already have your own existing Router)

One Bridge acts as the Master. It connects to your router via Network cable and plugs in to your electrical system. You only need one master and you can plug as many Slaves as you want. As not to confuse you, the master and slave bridges are the same piece of hardware. You may also plug a FU Powerline access point which also just acts as a slave bridge.
FU Powerline Router (Assuming you don't have an existing router yet)
The FU Powerline router acts like a normal router except that its plug to the wall giving it power is also a Powerline Bridge.
FU Powerline Access Point

The Wifi access point acts as a slave bridge to both the FU Powerline Bridge and the FU Powerline Router.
