Thank you for purchasing the Powerline Turbo Ethernet 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 Turbo Ethernet 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.
The installation of the Adapter only requires that a 10/100Mbps
network adapter is installed on the computers. This makes the
Powerline Turbo Ethernet 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 Turbo Ethernet 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
Turbo Ethernet Adapter is the best solution for high-speed networking.
