To make it work, you need at least two of them. To allow broadband access anywhere at home, first connect one powerline adapter to the broadband router and plug the adapter into a wall outlet. Next, connect a second adapter to a computer (located anywhere you like as long as there is an outlet nearby) and plug this adapter into a wall outlet. That's it. You should now have broadband access on your computer. It can't be simpler.
