Chapter 2    Connecting Mechanism 
2.1 Introduction 
The Powerline Adapter supports up to 500Mbps data rate. With this high speed connection rate, 
this Powerline Adapter allows you to setup a high speed home network by using your home 
existing electrical wiring. Simply plug this Powerline Adapter into an ordinary power outlet to 
extend your Cable/xDSL broadband connection or existing LAN network to any other electrical 
outlet in any rooms of your house.   
Note that this Powerline Adapter works in pairs. You need to plug one Powerline Adapter into a 
power outlet for each computer (Connect to the computer LAN card) you want to connect (Network 
access); you will also need another Powerline Adapter connected to your Cable/xDSL broadband 
(Ethernet port) in order to extend your broadband connection or Internet surfing. With clean 
powerline, the distance between two Powerline Adapters can reach 300 meters at lease, but the 
actual distance may vary due to the environment.
