    Powerline Adaptor and power bands

    Hi, Just been looking into powerline adaptors and just wondering how they work. I read that they operate on far higher frequencies to mains power, but if that's the case why don't you have to separate band 1 and 2 like in other applications? Just hoping to find out the reasons Cheers Lads
