1.1

What does HomePlug stand for? 

HomePlug (“Inhouse Powerline”) is an intelligent, secure technology that lets 
you set up a home network easily, quickly and economically via your electri-
cal wiring, without the need for complex and expensive dedicated cabling. 
The available performance and effort required for the installation also com-
pares favourably to traditional methods—HomePlug technology now attains 
speeds you would expect from other LAN technologies. 

1.1.1

The adapter provides a transmission rate of up to 200 Mbps via the electrical
