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.   
Take notes 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.
