Thank you for purchasing the VideoLink Powerline Internet 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 VideoLink Powerline
Internet Adapter operates on the HomePlug® Powerline AV standard, providing up to 200Mbps* 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, 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 Adapter s also use x tendnet technology to ensure the most robust
powerline network in the market. Each additional Belkin VideoLink
Powerline or Gigabit Powerline 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 10/100Mbps Ethernet
port is available on your device. T his makes the VideoLink Powerline
Internet Adapte r compatible with any device, including Mac, Windows,
and UNIX machines. Note that you need at least t wo adapters to create
a powerline network.

Powerline AV Networking Adapter

For security, all HomePlug devices are equipped with 128-bit AES
encryption. The private home power grid plus encryption makes
HomePlug significantly more secure than competing technologies.

The VideoLink Powerline Internet 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 VideoLink
Powerline Internet Adapter is the best solution for high-speed
networking.
