Q1: What is powerline networking?
A1: Powerline network technology upgrades your existing electric wiring,
enabling transmission of both network data and electric power in a single
powerline at a high speed of up to 1000Mbps. It characterizes low cost,
high-speed and better stability without new network cable required.
Q2: Can a single powerline adapter establish a powerline network?
A2: Sorry, it cannot. A minimum of two powerline adapters are required. One
is used to connect to an ADSL Modem or Router, and the other is to a PC.
Q3: Can I just plug one powerline adapter into a wall outlet to access the
Internet?
A3: Sorry, you cannot. You must connect one more such adapter to an
Internet-enabled ADSL Modem or Router, and another one to a PC. When the
two adapters interconnect successfully, you can access the Internet.
Q4: Do I need to install a utility to use the device?
A4: No. The device is plug-and-play powerline adapter. Two such devices
connected to the same electricity meter are able to interconnect automatically,
no configuration required. Yet, there is still an included utility for advanced
features such as QoS, private network, etc. See User Guide for details.
Q5: How many powerline adapters at most can be included under a single
electricity meter?
A5: Up to 9 adapters. However, you can create numerous private networks
under the same electrical circuit.
Q6: What is the maximum distance that two powerline adapters can transfer?
