Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Powerline Turbo Ethernet Adapter (the Adapter). Most people don’t enjoy buying long and expensive Ethernet cables or pulling the cables from one place to another, but the Adapter offers one of the easiest ways to enjoy home or small-business networking. Users can now experience a total network solution with the Adapter. The Powerline Turbo Ethernet Adapter operates on the HomePlug® Powerline Specification 1.0 Turbo standard, providing up to 85Mbps* bandwidth over home AC wiring. Since the home power lines are the most pervasive medium in households with multiple outlets in every room, the Adapter allows multiple home desktop and notebook computers to be networked to share an Internet connection, printers, and files, and play games without any additional wiring.

The installation of the Adapter only requires that a 10/100Mbps network adapter is installed on the computers. This makes the Powerline Turbo Ethernet Adapter compatible with any device, including Mac, Windows, and UNIX machines.

For security, all HomePlug devices are equipped with 56-bit DES encryption. The private home power grid plus encryption makes HomePlug significantly more secure than competing technologies.

The Powerline Turbo Ethernet Adapter provides the best solution for no-new-wires home networking. With easy plug-and-play installation, and the reliability of HomePlug Ethernet’s products, the Powerline Turbo Ethernet Adapter is the best solution for high-speed networking.
