2.2. HomePlug: the partner to WiFi in your home
If you have a modem router or an Internet "box", your various pieces of network equipment, whether
connected by Wi-Fi or HomePlug, can communicate with one another. All data is transferred to a central
point, in this case your modem router or Internet "box", and may circulate either on the electrical network via
your HomePlug adapters, or by way of radio waves via Wi-Fi.
It is therefore perfectly possible for a computer or any other piece of network equipment connected via Wi-Fi
to communicate with another piece of equipment connected via the HomePlug network to the modem router.
In chapters 2.2.1 to 2.2.3, you will find different examples of purely HomePlug networks. However, there is
nothing stopping you from adding Wi-Fi devices as well: for example, an Internet "box" connected to the
HomePlug network on the one hand, and a Wi-Fi laptop computer connected to this same "box" via Wi-Fi, on
the other hand.
