Streaming Video -- Even In Your Attic With the Belkin Powerline AV Starter Kit, you can send high-bandwidth content from the Internet to computers and network devices all over your home through the electrical wiring in your house. This kit lets you convert any electrical outlet in your home into a network connection. For instance, if you have a computer in the attic or other room where a wireless signal is weak, the Powerline AV is the perfect solution. You don't need to drill holes to extend your Ethernet cable, and you won't have to worry about the slow data speeds and intermittent dropouts that weak wireless connections are plagued with. Additionally, unlike wireless connections, the Powerline AV network connection isn't affected by factors such as cordless telephones and other wireless interference. There is no performance penalty that comes with the convenience of the Powerline AV; data speeds along at up to 200 Mbps, meaning it can handle even heavy Internet usage, such as downloading and streaming music and video files, playing online games, and making VoIP phone calls, all without any lag time or hiccups. Enhanced Security Keeps Out Snoopers There is no need to worry about security either. With 128-bit DES link encryption, the Powerline AV ensures that your information is safe and secure from intruders. Since the information is all transferred with wires, hackers can't simply sniff your information out of the air, as they easily can with insecure wireless connections.

This kit includes two adapters, so you can create a network within minutes of opening the box. If you have need for another connection, just purchase another adapter.

By Ka Na Encouraged by positive reviews, I tried using these to connect two Airport Extreme Base Stations (AEBS) separated by one floor and about 60 feet apart. The AEBSs were set up extend a 802.11n network wirelessly. Connecting them using these powerline adapters made the speed to drop considerably. I tested transferring a 200 MB file: with AEBSs connected wirelessly the transfer rate was about 13Mbs; with powerline adapters it dropped to 2-3Mbs. I concluded that the wiring inside the house is not suitable for using this technology. Otherwise, the product seems to be a polished product with easy setup. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. These little black boxes will change your life :) By David Molina I was so hesitant to try powerline ethernet, but I am so glad I did. Unpacking the box of contents took longer than the setup itself. It's so easy to setup this little Belkin Powerline AV adaptor. Just plug both adaptors into their respective walls, one cable to your computer, one cable to your router and voila! instant broadband at speeds equal to what I get with my computer directly plugged into the router. I ran the broadband speed test at www.speedtest.net to confirm this. My wife uses the PC downstairs and our apartment is about 2000 square feet. The cable modem is located upstairs at the opposite end of the house. My wireless G router would not reach downstairs, so I wasn't confident that an expensive N router would improve things. If you have any doubts about trying powerline ethernet, with this little Belkin you can put them to rest. I believe that with any normal use of the product (believe it or not, some people use these things over multiple apartments in the same building or neighboring buildings) you will be much happier than with some of the wireless solutions. I currently live in Spain and my broadband provider is ONO. On average we get 18Mbit to 20Mbit downloads and 500Kbps to 1Mbit uploads with ping times around 30-45ms...it's very fast, and I'm impressed this Belkin can keep up with what I'm paying for. With wireless G, I was only getting at most around 6Mbit downloads---so, you can see that wifi can drop your internet speeds significantly... Hope this helps... 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Problem solved! By ceebee100 I recently bought a Playstation 3 for my HDTV which is in the living room downstairs. There is no RJ-45 jack downstairs near my HDTV, so I thought maybe the wireless card on the PS3 would be enough to handle my networking needs. Boy, was I wrong! The wireless on the PS3 was dead slow. I thought about getting a 60ft Cat5 cable and running down the stairs, but that would've been too ugly, so I decided to give the Belkin 200 Powerline a try. That was the best thing I could've done. Steady connections and way faster than wireless. Games download in a flash, video conversations are seamless. Setup was a breeze too...just plug and play! The price is a bit on the high side, but it is totally worth it. See all 20 customer reviews...
