D-Link has launched one of the fastest-ever PowerLine adapters available in the market today. Home users who need high-speed Internet for online gaming, Voice-over-IP calls or high definition (HD) video will benefit, as well as those embracing 4K media services, which deliver a superior image quality.

The PowerLine AV2 2000 HD Gigabit Starter Kit (DHP-701AV) uses your home’s existing electrical wiring to create an Internet network, or extend your existing network. The device plugs into an electrical power socket, and allows you to share the Internet connection in your hallway with a games console in the lounge, or a computer in the basement where there is limited or no Wi-Fi reception. More rooms can be connected by simply plugging in additional adapters. No additional cabling is required.

Using MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) technology, it maximises performance to give you a faster and more stable connection. It also has the fastest PowerLine data transfer rate available, of up to 1900 Mbps. This makes it ideally suited for bandwidth-intensive applications, such as 4K video streaming and online gaming, without any buffering or delays.

“PowerLine is a great invention for home users needing to extend Internet access within their home, without the hassle of installing extra cables. It’s perfect for meeting the demands of households with an increasing number of connected devices, and the desire for ultra-high performance and Internet connectivity,” said Kevin Wen, President of D-Link Europe Ltd.

“The new Gigabit Starter Kit provides people with hassle-free and reliable network connection wherever they are in the home, and the ability to transfer more data at a faster rate, giving them a high quality experience. It’s also compact, discrete and offers superior performance at an affordable price,” he added.

The adapter’s subtle design means it discreetly blends into your home and the plug-and-play, push button secure setup makes it easy to connect to your existing network with no configuration required.
