10Base-T Ethernet connections. By connecting the bridge to a router, switch, or Ethernet
based device (XBOX, PlayStation, Web Tablet, PocketPC, Computer, etc.), you will be able to
make these devices bridge onto the HomePlug network. Currently, the GHPB01 only supports
2 bridges per HomePlug Network.
