ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

CU (Powerline)

Let's say you want to send a message from your computer to your friend's computer. Normally, you would use Wi-Fi or a cable to do this. But what if you live in a really big house or apartment building and the Wi-Fi signal is weak?

This is where powerline technology comes in. Powerline is like a secret code that uses the electrical wiring in your home to send messages between devices. You can think of it like a treasure map that tells your computer and your friend's computer how to talk to each other using the wires in your walls.

Now, cu is a type of powerline technology that is used to send high-speed internet signals through the electrical wiring in your home. With cu, you can plug a device into an electrical outlet and use it to connect to the internet without needing to use Wi-Fi.

So, instead of relying on a Wi-Fi signal that might be weak or slow, cu lets you use the electrical wiring in your house to access the internet. It's like having a secret internet highway that only you and your devices can use!
