Hello, I use homeplug for my internet (one homeplug is in basement and the other is in 2nd floor).
My old computer is located in 2nd floor and it used one of the two home plug. Also my old computer had viruses and malware etc.
Now I am getting rid of my old computer and planning to use this home plug for my new computer.
But I am concerned that my older computer's viruses got in to the home plug and now the viruses might get to my new computer through homeplug.
Should i buy new homeplug or is it ok to use this home plug for my new computer? is it safe?
