PLA-401 200Mbps PowerLine Homeplug Adapter
Benefits
The ZyXEL PowerLine HomePlug AV 200Mbps (PLA401) creates a simple high performance home network ideal for streaming high definition video content, audio streaming, gaming and Internet connectivity. It allows your home to be completely networked using your existing plug sockets with setup consisting of 2 easy steps:
1) Connect your PLA401 to any existing plug socket and router
2) Connect another PLA401 to any networked device and then plug in
Additional ZyXEL PLA401 PowerLine HomePlug AV 200Mbps units can be added where required to extend the coverage of your home network.
Right product if:
- You need to connect an Ethernet device requiring a high bandwidth connection such as a HDTV media adapter, games console or more, to your home network.
- No power leads - integrated plug enables you to connect straight into your plug socket.
- You want to reach locations that your wireless does not cover or where wireless does not give the required performance.
- You want to relocate your PC somewhere else in your home.
- Easy to Install.
- Simple to install with integrated plug design, simple to use, up and running in less than a minute!
- Extend your Internet access to any location around your home by simple connection to a plug socket.
- The PLA401 runs on your home electrical mains circuit, it therefore does not suffer the similar interference, dead spots, or performance issues associated with wireless.
- 3x the distance of standard Ethernet - up to 300 metres coverage between PLA401's.
Robust Security
Automatically create a secure network. The network only extends as far as your electricity meter and uses 128-bit AES encryption for peace of mind.
Your network is contained within your mains circuit and is not visible to your neighbours!
Speed Ideal for Multimedia High Definition Streaming
Up to 200Mbps performance - perfect for streaming high definition video, music, email, web browsing and making broadband telephone calls at the same time!
Media Traffic Control ensures time sensitive applications like voice and video are given priority over standard email and Internet traffic.
Advanced Features
Advanced software is available on the CD. This is not essential to get your PLA401 network running.
