What is powerline networking (CPL)?
Powerline networking (CPL - Courant Porteur en Ligne) is a technology that uses your existing electrical wiring to carry internet data. By plugging one CPL adapter into a socket near your router and a second adapter in the desired room, you obtain a stable internet connection with no cabling work required.
When should you opt for CPL?
CPL is the ideal solution in several situations:
- Thick stone walls that block the WiFi signal
- Multi-storey properties where WiFi does not reach far enough
- Need for a stable connection for remote working or streaming
- Inability to run cables in an older property or a rented home
Our intervention
Electrical network diagnosis
Before any installation, our technicians check the quality of your electrical network. An outdated or undersized circuit can reduce CPL performance. We check in particular:
- The condition of the consumer unit and NFC 15-100 compliance
- The quality of the electrical sockets
- The absence of interference on the network
Installation and configuration
We select the CPL adapters best suited to your needs (speed, number of ports, built-in WiFi) and install them optimally:
- Plugged directly into wall sockets (never into an extension lead)
- Secure network configuration
- Speed testing and optimisation
Tips for maintaining performance
- Avoid plugging CPL adapters into extension leads or surge protectors
- Prefer sockets on the same electrical circuit
- Regularly update the firmware of the adapters
- If speed drops, check that no interfering electrical device is plugged in nearby
