What is RipCurrent?

SURFboard RipCurrent is a technology that allows you to set up a high-speed home network
that uses existing AC wiring and outlets. There's no need to run additional cables; your
devices can communicate at data rates up to 1 Gbps using the network of power lines that
already exists in your home.
The SBR-AC1900P uses the power cable connected to the Wi-Fi Router to connect to the
power lines that already exist in your home. RipCurrent is based on G.hn Power Line
Communication (PLC), which is an ITU Specification managed by the HomeGrid™ Forum. This
technology allows the SBR-AC1900P to distribute all data to each of the AC power outlets in
the home. With a corresponding G.hn Extender, the Wi-Fi or wired network can be extended
to any room, including basements, garages, or far reaching bedrooms. Connect entertainment
devices, security cameras, gaming consoles, managed appliance, anything that uses IP
(Internet Protocol).
The G.hn technology is more robust than previous home power line communication
implementations to give you better 'real world' throughput and stability. G.hn proves much
