500 Mbps Compact Powerline AV Adapter
TPL-406E (V1.0R)
The 500 Mbps Compact Powerline AV Adapter, model TPL-406E,
uses any electrical outlet to create a secure high speed network. Two
adapters are needed to start a network. Connect one adapter to your
router and plug another adapter into any outlet on your electrical system
for instant high speed network access. The compact form factor saves
space around crowded electrical outlets. This adapter automatically
connects to other TRENDnet Powerline AV adapters with no installation
required—TRENDnet recommends pressing the ‘Sync’ button to
automatically change default encryption keys.
Use up to 8 adapters to network devices in different rooms without
running new cabling. Power Save mode reduces power consumption
by up to 80%. Quality of Service (QoS) technology prioritizes video,
audio, and online gaming. LED displays convey device status for
easy troubleshooting. Advanced 128-bit AES encryption secures your
network. This adapter is ideal for use in buildings that interfere with
wireless networking signals.
