Adapter . It lets you turn the existing powerlines in your
home or office into a high-speed network . This user guide
is intended for use with the PLE200 and PLK200 (Kit of 2
PLE200 Adapters) .
Installation is quick and simple . Connect the Adapter

computer or media center . Once your computers and other
devices are connected to the powerline network, they
can share resources like printers and storage space, and
all kinds of files—music, digital pictures, and documents .
With up to 100Mbps data rates, you can play lag-free,
head-to-head network computer games, and you can run
media-centric applications like streaming video and Voice
over Internet Protocol (VoIP) telephony . And if you use a
PowerLine AV Ethernet Adapter to interface your cable or
DSL router to your powerline network, you'll be able to
connect to the Internet from any computer in the house .

IMPORTANT: Because the Adapter sends data
over the powerlines of your residence, Linksys
recommends that you plug the Adapter directly
into an electrical outlet . The Adapter has its own
power filter for protection against surges .
Devce Password The Devce Password is located on
the sticker . If you are adding this Adapter to a pre-existing
powerline network with your own Network Password
(not the default), then you may need to enter the Device
Password on the Security tab of the Configuration Utility .
