The perfect complement for a Wi-Fi connection

Powerline adapters are the ideal way of creating a home network or
complementing an existing Wi-Fi connection.

By providing a secure high speed connection and great service quality,

Powerlines allow you to watch Standard and High Denition (HD)

movies as well as play online games without interruption or pixilation;
share photos, music and other media stored on a PC or compatible
storage device anywhere in your home.

Powerline Adapters will help you reach those areas of your home where
Wi-Fi signal is either too weak or cannot reach.

Other usages of Powerline adapters include IP-CCtv surveillance

cameras, setting up an ofce network without the need to add more
wires or rewire if you change your ofce conguration.
