Do powerline ethernet adapters give you internet without needing an isp? Do you just have to pay extra on your electricity bill for internet through power lines underground?
Why aren't more people doing this instead of using isp's which use fiber or DSL?
Do powerline ethernet adapters give you internet without needing an isp...
Summer never ends.
akarin is the best yuru yuri
So where does the internet come from? It comes through the power lines underground correct?
What do "power line" ethernet adapters do if not provide internet through your electricity provider?

You cant get internet through electrical wire but you can share a local network (which might be connected to the internet) through the electricial wires in your house.
No, to have internet you need optical fiber.
Optical fiber uses light, not electricity.
You pay for photons emitted for free by the Sun
...
To answer your question, no.
Powerline adapters transfer your existing internet signal from one box to the other.
Please don't grace us with your stupidity again, and learn how to use Google.
So how would you connect two routers to one phone line?
>Do powerline ethernet adapters give you internet without needing an isp?
Yes, they do. You can buy one, and cancel your internet. You should cancel your internet as soon as possible to make sure you lose as little money as possible.

Why can't you get internet from electricity lines? Couldn't you set up solar panels in the middle of nowhere and use the electricity to get internet? Why does it only work for sharing local networks but not wide area networks?
Nah internet comes through copper too. In fact that’s how it works in most of the world because fiber is relatively new and not that widespread

Yes, duh. How you do think that people in the wilderness get Netflix?
>Powerline adapters transfer your existing internet signal from one box to the other.
So you can have two routers on the same phone line?
>How you do think that people in the wilderness get Netflix?
3G through mobile networks? Not through internet networks?
are you doing that on purpose?
The only good post in this thread.
Just be careful.
If you make a series of bends in your photonic wire they light particles might fly right out thanks to centrifugal forces.
Their mass is low, but it certainly exists and can become an issue.
Power-based internet evocation devices tend to run the risk of running your internet into household appliances if those don't have properly dimensioned filter capacitors.
The result can be self-awareness due to botnets taking control of your devices.
Worst case, you get an outbreak and your house will need to be destroyed. The ensuing coverup is paid by you, no insurance will take over and the NDA will make sure that you have no way out but live on the streets.
This is how homeless people are born and why there are so many.
Don't do internet over electricity, kids.
Why can't it work like this? Aren't most routers backdoored?
See Don't mix terrestrial and extraterrestrial internet conception.
If you use the internet remnants encoded in the sun's rays and mix it with your wall socket internet creation device, you might actually awaken various kinds of creatures.
Thankfully a home-solar-panel shouldn't be strong enough to awaken a Great Old One, but you might be visited by a skinchanger or one of the Zuck clan.
They are hard to get rid off once they spawn in your house and tend to escape into the wild and cause unmeasurable damage to society as a whole.
The responsible defense forces will not take this lightly and do more than just force you to become a hobo.
Shit why didn't I think of this?
you can't just drop the modem
you can get away without a router, but you still need a modem

ok, i laughed
Does it actually work? It has to be snake oil, right?
>*Sakurako
Modems are only necessary if you don't know what you are doing.
Routers work as demon capacitors and allow computers to more easily handle the influx of internet.
Modems, meanwhile, allow you to get internet from approved sources. These tend to be purified and thus not as likely to corrupt your devices with viruses.
If you aren't an idiot, you can just keep a vial of holy water at your side for emergencies. The likelihood of something strong enough to be resistant to that coming through your internet is extremely low.
Just make sure to not use the darknet, especially the onion system. The onion system, aka TOR, works by drawing internet from the deepest layer of hell. As the internet passes into the higher layers, it experiences a refinement process that allows you to vastly extend the range of your signal but also accumulates evil.
And you really don't want accumulated evil in your internet, unless you are a satanist. That is also why we should crack down on encryption, as it allows evil to be concentrated and made untraceable. Concentrated evil has a large likelihood of instantly causing demonic corruption in your mainframe.
Are you serious? Do you really want to know how these things work?
Hahahaha
Why? All you're doing is sending data through a piece of copper. You'll probably lose a lot of speed unless you get an expensive model and depending on how your place is wired it might not work at all between various outlets that aren't connected.
As completely retarded as OP is, I seem to vaguely remember my local power company dabble with the idea of providing internet service over their lines in the early 2000's. Maybe they realized how big of a pain in the ass it is to start an ISP.
>Maybe they realized how big of a pain in the ass it is to start an ISP.
And maybe they anticipated the push of renewables, which is destabilization the power grid and causing frequency fluctations.
Good luck getting a signal through when your carrier signal has fucked up timings and spikes and shit.
You need this OP
surely nobody can be this stupid but I'll bite
ethernet adapaters do not give you internet. They still require a modem/router like any other ethernet cable. It just uses the wiring in your house instead of a separate cable.
Just get a long WLAN cable
This is a better question than "Does powerline work?" that we get all the time. Because I know we'll still get the question 20 years after its invention by "techies" still stuck in the past.
No, powerline connecters mostly work as a type of "wire" converter, so you can easily have wired internet in a sparse space.
What if you share the circuit with other appliances
Still works. Seriously, its a useful piece of tech. Its been around for years now. Check reviews.
how do they use the house wiring?
The same way they send data over ethernet cables, by using electrical signals.
It just needs a special box to adapt your house wiring. It's not free though, powerline adapters are far slower than ethernet.
MoCA is a better alternative to Powerline.
It will typically filter out 60Hz so you don't have interference from power delivery. At that point it's just copper, kinda like coax.
