No.

Radio is defined as the wireless transmission of signals through free space by electromagnetic radiation.

Free space does not exist

No, Homeplugs are one to many, or even many to many. They form their own radio network.

Hmm, thanks for the clarification.

An interesting concept - I always thought they used the premises wiring.

So did I. How can their wireless be any better - oops, probably a topic for a different thread.

Obviously, I meant RF transmission (and reception) over mains wiring, whatever that's called now.

Free of "stuff": matter or energy?

Free of competing use?

Free to use with no fee needed?

All of the above?

Free space does not exist

Lol, True that.

Now it makes sense (to me ). Thanks

I have written a good article about wiring for Ethernet and one of the suggestions that I put up for those of us working on a thin budget was to wire for a barebones situation such as from office to entertainment area while using HomePlugs for other areas until you see further need. Here, I see the HomePlugs work in a complementary manner to a wired-for-Ethernet setup. The article is at http://homenetworking01.info/2012/11/feature-article... .
