AV1200 Gigabit Powerline Adapter

Chapter 2 Connecting Mechanism

2.1 Introduction

The powerline adapter supports up to 1200Mbps data rate. With this high speed connection rate, this

powerline adapter allows you to set up 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 room 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.

Section below describes the connection instructions and hardware connection mechanism.

2.2 Connection Instruction

capacity of the network, we recommend that you comply with the following connection rule:

 Plug the powerline adapter directly into a wall socket but not the multiple sockets.
