Thank you for purchasing the Surf Powerline 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 Surf Powerline Networking
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 Adapters also use xtendnet technology to ensure the most robust
powerline network in the market. Each additional Belkin Surf Powerline
or Play Powerline Adapter that is plugged in is capable of repeating the
data signal for ma ximum coverage of your home.
ly
The installation of the Adapter on
Ethernet port is available on your device. This makes the Surf Powerline
Networking Adapter compatible with any device, including Mac,
Windows, and UNIX machines. Note that you need at least two adapters
to create a powerline network.
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

The Surf Powerline Networking 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 Surf Powerline
Networking Adapter is the best solution for high-speed networking.
