Chapter 2 Connecting Mechanism

2.1 Introduction

The powerline adapter supports up to 1000Mbps data rate. With this high speed connection rate, this
powerline adapter allows you to set up a high speed house network by using your household 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 room of
your house.
Note that powerline adapters work in pairs. One powerline adapter is connected to your Cable/xDSL
broadband to extend broadband connection and Internet surfing. The other powerline adapter is
connected to the computer for network access. With clean power line, the distance between two
powerline adapters can reach up to 300 meters, but the actual distance may vary due to the
environment.
Section below describes the connection instructions and hardware connection mechanism.

2.2 Connection Instruction

To ensure the optimum performance of the powerline adapter and significantly improve the transmission
capacity of the network, we recommend that you comply with the following connection rules:
 Plug the powerline adapter directly into a wall socket but not the multiple sockets.
 To take full advantage of the filter function of the Powerline Adapter and to improve data
transmission in the network, always plug the multiple sockets into the integrated electrical socket of
the Powerline Adapter.
