Powerline networking is a really cool alternative to a wireless home network and is incredibly easy to set up. Powerline networking makes use of the cabling that is already present in every house, the mains electrical circuit and it's technology takes advantage of the unused bandwidth of the electrical wiring to make a network.
What you need:

• A PC linked to a broadband router or modem with a spare network port
• A spare mains outlet socket close by
• 2 powerline adapters
• Another spare mains outlet socket in the room where you want a network device

Setting up is really simple:

• Plug the powerline adapter in to a power socket and connect to your router or modem using a network cable
• Repeat this in another room and connect to a Desktop PC, Laptop, PS2, X-box or other device
• Status lights on the adapters confirm that the network connection is active

Job done! In my experience it's far more reliable than the WiFi option which is not good at maintaining a signal through the structure of the house. Check out sites like Netgear, Devolo and Solwise and get yourself a powerline network in your home!
