Home Phoneline Networking (Home PNA)
Your Rio Advanced Digital Audio Center can use your standard phonelines to
create a Home PNA network connection between it and any Rio Receivers or
computers with Home PNA network adapters you have plugged into the same
phonelines. It is a simple solution to your networking needs.

you need a USB Ethernet adapter (not included). Plug the USB Ethernet adapter
