b) Connecting a PC to the Internet in a separate apartment
An Internet connection exists on the ground floor of a house and a PC in a separate
apartment within the house is supposed to be added. The concrete walls and/or distance
make a network extension via WLAN impossible. In this example, Mx2wire+ is simply
connected to the two wires of the analog telephone line that is no longer being used. All
that Mx2wire+ requires to supply power to the end device (PC) and for its own consumption
is a PoE switch or injector.
