Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Easily network your home using existing electrical outlets                       

The Powerline 4-port Network Adapter lets you easily create a network using the existing electrical outlets in your home. Now you don't have to drill holes in walls and climb through the attic or cellar to install network cables -- just use the wires that already run through the building.

The Powerline 4-port Network Adapter connects computers, or any other wired Ethernet device, using the HomePlug 1.0 with Turbo network standard. It also works with older HomePlug 1.0 devices. Adding devices to the network is as simple as plugging the Powerline 4-port Adapter into an electrical outlet, and connecting up to four Ethernet-equipped devices to the built-in Ethernet ports. Additional devices can be connected to the same network using additional Powerline Adapters plugged into any electrical outlet anywhere in the house.
                               
Once your computers are connected to the network, they can share resources like printers and storage space, and all kinds of files--music, digital pictures, and documents.  With up to 85Mbps data rates, you can play lag-free head-to-head network computer games, and run applications like Voice over IP telephony. Plug your Internet connected router into a Powerline 4-port Network Adapter and you'll be able to get to the Internet from any Powerline attached computer in the house.

The Linksys Powerline 4-port Network Adapter is the perfect solution for easy, no new wires, home or office networking.

This product is not compatible with 2 PLE200 devices that I have on my network and has been confirmed by a service rep despite Linksys stating that it is backwards compatible.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Product! Easy To Install And Use, July 4, 2009

This review is from: Linksys PLTS200 PowerLine 4-Port Network Adapter (Personal Computers)

I added the Linksys PLTS200 Powerline 4-Port Network Adapter to an existing Linksys powerline network. The installation and configuration of the entire network is very easy, almost plug and play. The additional adapter installation was completed by just plugging it in. It is so much simpler than running ethernet cables throughout the house and installing jacks at the points network access is needed. There is no noticeable noise from the power and network sharing the same cables. Each powerline network adapter contains its own surge protection to avoid needing to connect the adapters to surge protectors. I have several computers, a Blu-ray player, and an HD-DVR all connected to the Internet through this powerline network. The network connection speed is excellent. I highly recommend this product.

Easy to install. Plug it in. I already had the starter kit. This added internet access in another room on the far side of the house. I can watch Netflix streaming movies in 3 rooms in the house now.
