The following picture shows a typical setup for a Powerline bundle.
- Powerline A is connected to a Modem/WiFi Router
- Powerline B is connected to a Smart TV
Through the home power grid the Internet data will flow from A to B and vice versa and the internet connectivity will be assured to the device connected to the ‘B’ Powerline.
Supposed the Smart TV will be turned off and supposed the Powerline support the standby mode, generally after a period of 10 minutes (this time might vary based on the purchased model) the Powerline ‘B’ will start saving energy and go to sleep.
A necessary condition for the Powerline device to go into sleep mode is that no data shall be transmitted to its Ethernet port for a certain period of time (model specific).
As soon as the Smart TV will be turned on (using the remote controller) and some data will be sent over the Ethernet cable, the Powerline will ‘wake up’ and connectivity will be provided to the smart TV.
