DESCRIPTION
The HomePlug AV standard specifies how network devices
communicate using standard electrical wiring.
It supports a data transfer rate of up to 200Mbps.
Data is encrypted using 128-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard).
HomePlug AV compatible devices co-exist with HomePlug 1.0 devices
but do not detect each other.
The range of a HomePlug AV network is 300 meters/984 feet in optimal
conditions.
HomePlug AV is compatible with all OSs.
The maximum number of powerline devices on a single network is 16.
Support for 64 devices communicating on a single network is planned for
future firmware release.
