Chapter 1: Product Overview
The TPL-305E 3-Port 200Mbps Powerline AV Adapter is an excellent solution that can
be used to extend your network using your home or small office electrical wiring. In a home or
small office building, use 3-Port 200Mbps Powerline AV adapters to link multiple locations
without the need to run long Ethernet cables. Combined with a single broadband DSL/Cable
Internet connection, every room with electrical power outlets can provide easy access to your
high-speed Internet connection. With HomePlug® AV speeds of up to 200Mbps, this easy-to-
setup solution can provide fast streaming HD movies, online multiplayer games, and other data
intensive applications for today’s HD Entertainment Center demand.
Each TPL-305E 3-Port 200Mbps Powerline AV Adapter allows you to connect up to three
network enabled devices to a powerline network via Ethernet. In operation, the 3-Port 200Mbps
AV Adapter is completely transparent, and simply passes data between the Ethernet port and
the powerline network. Any Ethernet-enabled device may be connected to one of the three
integrated 10/100Mbps Auto-MDIX Ethernet ports.
