FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
1. What is the distance this device can transmit?
ANS: Powerline technology provides reliable coverage for considerable distances
in a home, but noises from your home electrical appliances which is introduced into
your home's electrical wires is a limiting factor for the transmission distances. Thus
you may get (considerably) less or more coverage depending on how many
electrical appliances being used at the time your running these devices. Please
check the maximum distance under good AC wire conditions in the S
PECIFICATIONS
section.
2. What is the throughput this device can transmit?
ANS: The device’s throughput depends largely on several factors: (1) the distance
with another device, (2) interference by other appliances, (3) number of same
Powerline devices which share the common electric wiring, and (4) application
packet types – TCP or UDP. TCP applications will be slower than UDP applications.
Longer distance, larger interference, or more Powerline devices will reduce the
data throughput. The maximum throughput between two devices for TCP and UDP
are specified in the S
PECIFICATIONS section.
3. Do I have to rewire my home electric outlets or install special filters
for using this device?
ANS: Powerline uses a home's existing electrical wiring to network computers in
different rooms so that they can share files, printers, and Internet connections. This
Powerline products use existing electrical sockets (outlets). If your wiring is modern,
there is no need to rewire outlets or to install special filters.
4. What type of AC outlet can I plug for this device?
ANS: This power line product works with AC 100V to 240V with 2-prong or 3-prong
electrical outlets, depending on whether the plug is 2-prong or 3-prong type.
5. Can this power-line device work with circuit breakers?
ANS: In many countries Powerline signals will not communicate between different
phases. Please have installers or expert local to your country to check your
home’s electric wiring before installation.
6. Is it secure to send private data over this power line device?
ANS: It is secure enough because the technology supports special data
encryption. Please refer to the S
PECIFICATIONS section for the type encryption
algorithm used with this device.
