* The theoretical maximum channel data transfer rate is derived from 
HomePlug AV specifications; however the maximum throughputs may 
be limited by the Fast Ethernet ports. Actual data transfer rate will vary 
with network environment conditions including: distance, network 
traffic, and noise on electrical wires, quality of electrical installation 
and other adverse limits.
