Configurable powerline Ethernet adapter and power supply

A network powerline adapter, said adapter comprising:

• a casing shaped to provide a single AC plug that consumes a single outlet of a powerline outlet and receives power from the powerline outlet, wherein the casing is shaped to allow use of another outlet of the powerline outlet;
• a filter, coupled to the AC plug, to filter the received power from the powerline and provide a filtered powerline power;
• at least one AC plug outlet, coupled to the filter, that provides a filtered AC power output for the filtered powerline power;
• at least one network adapter, coupled to the AC plug, that provides an interface for network communications via the AC plug to the powerline;
• and
• at least one wired interface for network communications via the network adapter over the powerline.

A powerline network system, said system comprising:

• a powerline network adapter comprising:
• an AC plug shaped to receive power from a powerline outlet;
• a filter, coupled to the AC plug, that receives the received power from the powerline and provides a filtered powerline power;
• at least one AC plug outlet, coupled to the filter, providing a filtered AC power output from the filtered powerline power;
• a DC outlet shaped to provide a DC power output from the filtered powerline power to at least one network adapter, wherein the at least one network adapter is coupled to the AC plug and provides an interface for network communications via the AC plug to the powerline;
• at least one wired interface for network communications via the network adapter over the powerline;
• a wireless access point that provides at least one wireless interface for network communications via the network adapter over the powerline;
• and
• an external drive coupleable to the DC outlet and the wired network interface to serve as a network attached storage unit for the powerline network system.
