Powerline AV+ 200 Nano Adapter XAV2602
Powerline Adapter in a Home Network
You can use Powerline Adapters to extend your Ethernet network anywhere in your home
using your existing electrical power lines.
Here, an Ethernet cable connects the
router to the Powerline network.
In another room, an Ethernet cable connects
a gaming console to the Powerline network.
Powerline communication

If you want, you can plug a powerstrip into the filtered outlet of your
Powerline Adapter as shown in the previous illustration. Do not plug the
adapter directly into a powerstrip.
For best performance, plan the location of your Powerline devices (to make a Powerline
network, you need at least two Powerline devices):
•
Use an electrical outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch to avoid someone
unknowingly turning off the power to the outlet.
