Wall-Plugged Adapter do?
Extend Your Network Using Electrical Outlets
NETGEAR’s 85 Mbps Wall-Plugged Ethernet Adapter (XE103) is the fast solution for extending
your home network by using standard electrical outlets. It delivers everything you need to set

NETGEAR’s PS121 USB Print Server. You eliminate dead spots in your wireless network, while
