Thank you for purchasing the Gigabit Powerline HD Networking 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 Gigabit Powerline
HD Networking Adapter is interoperable with the HomePlug® AV Powerline standard, but provides up to 1000Mbps* bandwidth over
home AC wiring. This is five times faster than the current HomePlug standard. Since the home power lines are the most pervasive
medium in households with multiple outlets in ever y room, the Adapter allows multiple home desktop and notebook computers to
be networked to share an Internet connection, printers, and files, stream video, and play games without any additional wiring. The
advanced signal processing is capable of maintaining coverage throughout the entire house, even across different phase rings.
These adapters also use xtendnet technology to ensure the most
robust powerline network in the market. Each additional Belkin Gigabit
Powerline HD or Powerline AV Adapter that is plugged in is capable of
repeating the data signal for maximum coverage of your home.
The installation of the Adapter only requires that a 10/100/1000Mbps
Ethernet por t is available on your device. This makes the Gigabit
Powerline HD Networking Adapter compatible with any device, including
Mac, Windows, and UNIX machines. Note that you need at least two
adapter s to create a powerline net work.
Gigabit Powerline HD Networking Adapter
For security, all HomePlug devices are equippe d with 128-bit AES
encryption. The private home power grid plus encr yption makes
HomePlug significantly more secure than competing technologies.
The Gigabit Powerline HD Networking Adapter provides the best
solution for no-new-wires home networking. With easy plug-and-play
installation, and the reliabilit y of HomePlug, the Gigabit Powerline HD
Networking Adapter is the best solution for high-speed networking.
