Our take on the Channel Master CM6104

by Tara W.

Many of today's TVs, Blu-ray players, and game consoles let you access content available from the Internet, but some of them don't come with built-in Wi-Fi® adapters, so you need to connect an Ethernet cable, which may not be convenient. Channel Master's CM6104 is a great solution — it uses your home's existing electrical wiring to pass Ethernet signals to up to four devices in a single room.

This kit comes with two adapters. Plug one adapter into a wall outlet near your modem or router and connect it with one of the supplied cables. Plug the other into a wall outlet near your TV, Blu-ray player, gaming system, or computer, and connect it with the other supplied cable. The two adapters immediately identify and connect with each other, and your wired home network is automatically extended to another room of your home.

Highlights:

  • turns an ordinary AC wall outlet into an access point for your home network
  • starter pack includes two adapters
  • transmitter features
    • one Ethernet port
    • one male AC adapter (plugs into wall outlet)
  • receiver features
    • four Ethernet ports
    • one male AC adapter (plugs into wall outlet)
  • approximate maximum data transfer rate: 200 Mbps
  • designed for use with a broadband Internet connection
  • warranty: 90 days
  • Our 60-day money-back guarantee

    Features

    Overview: The Channel Master CM-6104 Internet-to-TV Powerline Ethernet Switch Kit is an easy-to-install solution providing an Internet connection to any of the power outlets in your home. Many new TV's, SAT/Cable boxes, Blu-ray players, and game consoles are Internet compatible and need to be connected to the Internet. After getting these products home you may find it difficult to connect them to the internet, because you may not have an Ethernet jack by the television or other audio/video component. Most homes are prewired with power outlets in every room, so Channel Master's Internet to TV Powerline Ethernet Switch is the perfect solution. The Channel Master CM-6104 Kit includes one Powerline Ethernet Switch  (CM-6104) and one Powerline Ethernet Adapter (CM-6100).

    Installation: The Channel Master CM-6104 Internet-to-TV Powerline Ethernet Switch Kit has been designed to allow the home network or internet signal to ride along the same powerline as your cable television or terrestrial antenna signals with no interference. This is the most reliable solution without installing new wires and best of all its affordable & easy to install. Simply connect one Powerline Adapter (CM-6100) to your modem and powerline network, then connect the second 4-Port Powerline Ethernet Switch (CM-6104) to your power outlet in another room and your Internet-ready TV, plus other Internet enabled components.

    Note: The AC outlets in your home can be up to 330' (100m) apart.

    2-Prong AC Plug: The Internet-to-TV 4-Port Powerline Ethernet Switch & Powerline Ethernet Adapter, each feature a 2-prong connector which plugs into your home's AC wall-outlet. Both, the Internet-to-TV 4-Port Powerline Ethernet Switch & Powerline Ethernet Adapter, will work with 2-prong or 3-prong electrical outlets (AC 100V-240V).

    Ethernet Ports: The Internet-to-TV Powerline Ethernet Adapter is equipped with an Ethernet (RJ-45) port and includes a 47" Ethernet cable to connect to your home network's modem/router. The Internet-to-TV 4-Port Powerline Ethernet Switch is equipped with 4 Ethernet (RJ-45) ports and includes a 47" Ethernet cable to connect your Internet-ready TV, SAT/Cable box, Blu-ray player, and/or game console.

    Status LEDs: The Internet-to-TV 4-Port Powerline Ethernet Switch & Powerline Ethernet Adapter, each feature 3 LED lights to indicate the status of the Powerline & Ethernet connections.

    Documentation is key

    Written By SteveC, North Florida on Monday, May 13, 2013
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Once correctly installed the device works exactly as advertised. The 'Quick Start Guide" gives easy instructions for installation and points out that some environments will give better performance than others. I ran into a technical problem with the installation and called Crutchfield for support. They determined the nature of the problem and referred me to the User Manual on the Channel Master site. That solved the problem.
    Pros:
    Works exactly as advertised.
    Cons:
    Installation may require additional documentation.
