You can (or could) get little boxes that plugged ino power points (as in
220v sockets) that each had an (?)ethernet* socket.
A sort of poor man's WiFi for in the home ... except they weren't that cheap.
Did they allow a network (>two parties 'on line') ?
What was their range ?
Bandwidth?
Latency ?
Suspect one had to be on the same phase of the power supply (it was that
_thought_ that caused us to abandon the query for a building with three
phase (well, with different halls on different phases)).
(You could possibly get round that by transmitting between neutral and
earth ... maybe they did anyway?)
Even more esoteric: Back in the Seventies Mullard published a design for
point-to-point optical connections. DIY using two bits of sewer/drainage
pipe as the housing.
And yet further: somewhere on the Web used to be details of using a wok
(as in cuisine) _basket_ (for ?deep fat frying?) as a reflector
('parabole') for WiFi ... was reputed to _greatly_ enhance range ...
(don't think it was a joke ...)
(You needed a USB/WiFi thingie to place in the focal point of the 'dish'.)
