the sole standard for all future products that are produced for Home Networking. HomePlug and HomePNA are associated standards Universal Powerline Association Endpoint devices and services Traditionally, data-centric equipment such as computers and media players have been the primary tenants of a home network. However, due to the lowering cost of computing and the ubiquity of smartphone usage, many traditionally non-networked home equipment categories now include new variants capable of control or remote monitoring through an app on a smartphone. Newer startups and established home equipment manufacturers alike have begun to offer these products as part of a "Smart" or "Intelligent" or "Connected Home" portfolio. The control and/or monitoring interfaces for these products can be accessed through proprietary smartphone applications specific to that product line. General purpose Personal computers such as desktops, laptops, netbooks, and tablets A network attached storage (NAS) device can be easily accessed via the CIFS or NFS protocols for general storage or for backup purposes.

Recent consoles have begun more aggressively pursuing the role of the sole entertainment and media hub of the home. DLNA is a common protocol used for interoperability between networked media-centric devices in the home. Some older entertainment devices may not feature the appropriate network interfaces required for home network connectivity. In some situations, USB dongles and PCI Network Interface Cards are available as accessories that enable this functionality.
