Many thanks,

Hi there, you plug one in to an electricity wall socket near your router and then get a small Cat5 (RJ45) cable and plug it in the device and in to a lan port on your router.

Then upstairs you plug the other one in an electricity wall socket near your PC and again, another Cat5 cable from the device to your PC.

The internet then works over your mains wiring, meaning you dont have to run special cables over the house.

Hope that helps
Simon
