Our take on the Belkin Powerline AV+ Starter Kit

by Tara W.

Here's an easy way to expand the reach of your broadband home network. These Belkin adapters allow you to route Internet signals through your home's existing AC wiring and outlets. This system's great for a location in your home where you don't have an Ethernet jack or where you encounter interference with a Wi-Fi® signal.

Setup's really easy, too. Connect the single-port adapter to your router and place the three-port adapter in the room where you want Internet access. Its three ports let you connect up to three devices, like a computer, TV, and gaming console, to your home network. You'll get a strong, reliable connection for streaming videos and music, and downloading content from the Internet.

Features

Overview: The Belkin Powerline AV+ Starter Kit includes two adapters for communicating with your network over existing electrical wiring. Plug the adapter with one RJ-45 Ethernet port into your modem or wired router. The other adapter has three Ethernet ports for a computer, Blu-ray player, Tivo, network A/V receiver, TV, satellite receiver, etc. The system operates on the HomePlug Powerline Specification 2.0 standard. The signal easily passes through circuit breakers and works across multiple phases, so it works anywhere in the house.

Bandwidth: The system is designed for use with a Broadband network and is capable of transfer speeds up to 200 Mbps.

Security: The Powerline adapters use 128-bit AES Link encryption to block access to any outside user. Out of the box, both adapters are set to the same code and will work without any programming. Belkin recommends changing the network password once the system is installed.

Expandability: Additional adapters can be installed to expand the system; the network password is programmed into the new adapters.

Compatibility: The Powerline system is compatible with Mac, Windows, and UNIX. It can also coexist with HomePlug 1.0 and 1.0 Turbo networks.

Amazing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Written By y2jevo, Puerto rico on Friday, May 28, 2010
 
Amazing product to fix problems with your no wi-fi blue ray and your no wi-fi satellite box. With this plug and play product you can convert up to 3 different no wi-fi equipment to wi-fi without losing your wi-fi security encrypted network. Works great with the convenience of no installation set up or driver to run in any computer. Just plug the equipment in your house electric outlet near the modem or router and plug the another device where you got your no wi-fi equipment follow the easy set up instructions and your done. Yes its all.

Thanks Belkin!!!
