About the Product

Aztech HL117EW is ready to use out of the box and does not require the installation
of any driver software to work. It can be connected to computers, routers, gaming
consoles, hubs, IPTV set-top boxes, and other Ethernet devices regardless of
operating system. In addition, through the HL117EW's wireless feature, you can also
connect your wireless devices at home in either of the 2.4GHz or 5.0GHz frequency
bands.

How Does It Work?

HomePlugAV utilizes the existing electrical wiring in the house as a path to create a
secured network of computers and Ethernet devices. With a maximum data rate of
up to 500 Mbps, HomePlugAV devices can reliably handle high bandwidth
consuming applications such as broadband Internet, high definition video
streaming, and Voice over IP.
HomePlugAV devices convert digital signals to a complex analog signal that
traverses along the electrical wires. When receiving the analog signal, another
HomePlugAV device within the network converts the analog signal back to digital
with a 128-bit AES encryption applied to make the signal secured.
A HomePlugAV device can only communicate with other HomePlugAV device(s)
that use the same Private Network Name. The Private Network Name easily be
changed in two ways; (1) is through the HomePlugAV Web User Interface. It can be
changed manually using the HomePlugAV Web User Interface on a computer with a
Windows operating system. When you use the Web Interface, you can manually
change the Private Network Name of the device. (2) Is through the Simple Connect
button. The Simple Connect button automatically creates an encrypted Private
Network Name. It can also be used to reset the Private Network Name or to add a
device into an existing HomePlugAV network.
Note: HomePlugAV devices are highly effective when used in pairs. The Twin packs
are already configured to use a common Private Network Name unique for that pair
and are ready to use without involving any complex configurations.
