Does a Powerline bridge require a router or can it be used in a peer to peer system w/o a router?
(back to FAQ | More Powerline) A PowerLine bridge (or any other kind of bridge, for that matter) does not require a router if you are just trying to add a different network medium (in this case, powerline) to your LAN. By the same token, a Bridge does not add routing (Internet connection sharing) capability to a LAN either. If all you are trying to do is network two (or more) computers via your home or office’s power lines, you’ll just need an Ethernet to powerline bridge for each computer that you want to network.
