Thank you for purchasing the Powerline 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 Networking Adapter
operates on the HomePlug
®
Powerline Specification 1.0 Turbo standard, providing up to 85Mbps* 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, and play
games without any additional wiring. Note that you need at least two Adapters to create a powerline network.
The installation of the Adapter only requires that a 10/100Mbps Ethernet port is available on your device. This makes the Powerline
Networking Adapter compatible with any device, including Mac, Windows, and UNIX machines.
For security, all HomePlug devices are equipped with 56-bit DES encryption. The private home power grid plus encryption makes
HomePlug significantly more secure than competing technologies.
The Powerline 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 Networking Adapter is the best solution for
high-speed networking.
