the powerline extender an ideal solution for your wireless network. Here you can create a wireless local
area network just through a few settings. Wireless Settings is used for the configuration of some basic

your data and thus providing greater security for your wireless network. MAC filtering allows you to

configure some advanced parameters for the powerline extender. Wireless statistics enables you to get
detailed information about the current connected wireless stations.
