AV500 2-port Powerline Adapter
Chapter 2 Connecting Mechanism
2.1 Introduction
The Powerline Adapter supports up to 500Mbps data rate. With this high speed connection rate, this
Powerline Adapter allows you to setup a high speed home network by using your home existing electrical
wiring. Simply plug this Powerline Adapter into an ordinary power outlet to extend your Cable/xDSL
broadband connection or existing LAN network to any other electrical outlet in any rooms of your house.
Note that powerline adapters work in pairs. One powerline adapter is connected to your Cable/xDSL
broadband to extend broadband connection and Internet surfing. The other powerline adapter is
connected to the computer for network access. With clean power line, the distance between two
powerline adapters can reach up to 300 meters, but the actual distance may vary due to the environment.
