Don't miss a moment of football: Smart TV, smartphone and tablet reception
Internet access is often not available where televisions and set-top boxes are located. In this case, practical Powerline adapters can bring an internet connection to any area without having to run cables through the home. Simply plug in one adapter into the router and another where the Internet is needed—the home's power line is then used to transfer data to hardware devices such as games consoles and smart TV’s.
For tablets and smartphones that require a stable Wi-Fi signal the set-up is just as simple with a Wireless Powerline kit. One Powerline adapter is connected to the router while a Wi-Fi adapter is positioned right where you will need it in the home and acts as a new WiFi hotspot.
