The Linksys Instant PowerLine™ EtherFast
Internet connection solution for your home powerline network. The PowerLine
Bridge makes sharing your broadband access easier than ever. Build a strong
and simple-to-use home network by taking advantage of the most pervasive
home networking medium—powerlines.
The PowerLine Bridge is ideal for users who already have a router. It can be
plugged into an Ethernet port on a router to equip a network with powerline
capabilities and take advantage of the router's features. The PowerLine Bridge
can also plug directly into a cable or DSL modem to allow Internet access and
data transfer rates up to 14Mbps over home powerlines.
With the PowerLine Bridge, create a network in no time at all to share an
Internet connection (a router may be required), files, and printers, or even play
multi-user network games at blazingly fast speeds. It's easy, convenient, and
cost-effective.
