*Note: The following factors may affect the powerline network’s connection quality:

Noise – Generated by appliances that are connected to your electrical system through power outlets that have high power consumption requirements. (e.g. Microwaves, ovens, blow dryer, iron, dishwasher, etc.) The quality of your household electrical wiring may also cause additional noise on your electrical system.

Distance – Long lengths of electrical wiring through your electrical system between connected powerline adapters.

1.6 Ethernet Ports

There are three RJ-45 10/100Mbps Auto-MDIX Ethernet ports at the bottom of the device for network connectivity to computers and network appliances (e.g. Game Console, IP Set Top Box, network enabled TV, etc.) using the included Cat. 5 Ethernet cable.
