Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Rocketfish RF-GUV1124
powerline Ethernet kit. This easy-to-use system enables you to connect
any Ethernet network device (such as computers and game consoles) to
other devices on your home network and to the Internet. Your
powerline kit also lets you connect your network without the hassle of
setting up wireless networking and complex security measures.
The powerline Ethernet bridge converts Ethernet signals from a router or
Internet modem to powerline signals that can travel along your home’s
electrical wiring. The powerline Ethernet switch then converts the
powerline signals back to Ethernet signals, allowing you to connect up
to four Ethernet-enabled devices to the switch for easy home
networking.
