INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the Powerline AV+ Networking Adapter (the Adapter). Most people don’t enjoy buying long and 
expensive Ethernet cables or pulling the cables from one place to another, but the Adapter offers one of the easiest ways to 
enjoy home or small-business networking. Users can now experience a total network solution with the Adapter. The Powerline 
AV+ Networking Adapter operates on the HomePlug

®

 Powerline Specification 2.0 standard, providing up to 200Mbps* 

bandwidth over home AC wiring. Since the home power lines are the most pervasive medium in households with multiple 
outlets in every room, the Adapter allows multiple home desktop and notebook computers to be networked to share an 
Internet connection, printers, and files, stream video, and play games without any additional wiring. The advanced signal 
processing is capable of maintaining coverage throughout the entire house, even across different phase rings.

The installation of the Adapter only requires that a 10/100Mbps Ethernet port is available on your device. This makes the 
Powerline AV+ Networking Adapter compatible with any device, including Mac

®

, Windows

®

, and UNIX machines. Note that you 

need at least two adapters to create a powerline network.

For security, all HomePlug devices are equipped with 128-bit AES encryption. The private home power grid plus encryption 
makes HomePlug significantly more secure than competing technologies.

The Powerline AV+ Networking Adapter provides the best solution for no-new-wires home networking. With easy plug-and-
play installation, and the reliability of HomePlug Ethernet’s products, the Powerline AV+ Networking Adapter is the best 
solution for high-speed networking.
