Thank you for purchasing the INTELLINET NETWORK SOLUTIONS™
PowerLine HD Ethernet Adapter, Model 503839.*

This easy-to-install device allows you to create a high-speed network for

the computers in your home or ofce by simply plugging the adapter(s)

into any electrical outlet. You immediately create a network using the
existing AC power lines and can extend your home network into areas a
wireless signal cannot reach. Attach multiple computers to the network

by simply plugging them into additional adapters.
The PowerLine Turbo Ethernet Adapter provides a network connection

speed of up to 200 Mbps and automatically senses the speed of a
router or computer device, adjusting to accommodate 10 Mbps or 100
Mbps Ethernet devices. Quality of Service (QoS) further improves
performance by prioritizing your important trafc through the use of up

to eight priority levels.

An effective data throughput of up to 90 Mbps streams crystal-clear,
1080p high-denition (HD) video to the media streamer connected to

your home entertainment center, making it the perfect choice for the

connection of network-enabled gaming consoles and digital media
devices such as Slingbox, Tivo, Xbox 360, Nintento Wii or PlayStation 3.

It’s also Plug and Play (no drivers are required), and comes with the

INTELLINET NETWORK SOLUTIONS Lifetime Warranty.

* This manual can also be used with the PowerLine HD Ethernet
Adapter Starter Kit, Model 503808.
