Overview
IOGEAR’s HomePlug Ethernet Bridge allows you to network your home computers through the most
pervasive medium in your house - the electric power lines - and share Broadband Internet connections,
printers, transfer files, play games, and more.
This unit can be used to HomePlug-enable one computer with a 10/100Base-T adapter, or to make a group
of computers HomePlug-ready through either a network switch or router.
It can also be used to link through a powerline two network devices such as gaming devices, wireless
access points and more.
This unit is compliant with HomePlug Powerline Specifications 1.0, offers up to 14 Mbps bandwidth, and is
less prone to interference. Installation requires only that a 10/100Base-T network adapter is installed on
the computer. By offering 56-bit DES encryption, it is also much more secure than other home networking
technologies such as wireless Ethernet.
