Using small gadgets called Powerline adapters, you can route your Internet connection around your house over your regular electrical power lines, the ones already in your walls. It really works, it’s fast and it doesn’t disrupt your electrical system. Even better, it requires zero technical skill. You just plug one of the adapters into a standard electrical outlet near the place where your Internet connection enters your home.

I’ve been testing one of Netgear’s newest models, the XE104, which costs $100 per adapter, and I can heartily recommend it. It couldn’t be simpler or more effective. In my tests, the XE104 gave me wicked-fast connections. I tried plugging Windows and Macintosh laptops directly into the adapters in rooms where my wireless signal was weakest. I also tried plugging a Wi-Fi wireless access point into an XE104 adapter and picking up the connection wirelessly on the laptops. (An access point is a wireless gadget that takes a wired Internet connection and propagates it through the air.)
