Abstract

A system for powerline networking. The system has an external data source (103), which is derived from a world wide networks of computers. A router (201) is coupled to the external data source and coupled to a first datasource connection. A powerline network switch apparatus is coupled to the first datasource connection (107). The apparatus has a second datasource connectoin, which is coupled to the first datasource connection. The apparatus also has a powerline device (311) coupled to the second datasource connection.
