PLEK400-NP - Linksys Powerline Av 1-Port Network Adapter Kit

Product Description

The Linksys PLEK400-NP Powerline network adapter kit offers a convenient solution for extending wired network connectivity throughout a home or office without the need for running new Ethernet cables. This kit utilizes the existing electrical wiring infrastructure to create a network connection. Each adapter in the kit plugs directly into a standard electrical outlet, and then connects to a network device via an Ethernet cable. When two adapters are used, they create a secure network bridge between the two locations where they are plugged in. The PLEK400-NP supports Powerline communication standards, offering theoretical data transfer rates of up to 400 Mbps. While real-world speeds can vary depending on the quality and complexity of the electrical wiring, this provides sufficient bandwidth for many common networking tasks, including internet browsing, streaming media, and online gaming. Each adapter features a single 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port, allowing you to connect a single wired device, such as a computer, smart TV, or game console, to your network. Installation is designed to be simple and straightforward. Users typically just plug the adapters into wall outlets, connect one adapter to their router via an Ethernet cable, and connect the other adapter to their desired device. The adapters then automatically pair and establish a network connection. This makes the Linksys PLEK400-NP an accessible option for users looking to overcome Wi-Fi dead zones or add wired network access to rooms where running cables is impractical.
