PowerLine AV 500 4-Port Gigabit Switch

Connect all of your Devices

Run your desktop and multiple laptops off your wireless router upstairs and simultaneously power and prioritize bandwidth for your entire digital entertainment center in the basement. With a PowerLine AV 500 4-Port Gigabit Switch you can extend any existing PowerLine network to deliver up to 500Mbps speed and connectivity over the existing wiring of your building’s electrical system. HDTVs, the Boxee Box by D-Link, Blu-Ray Players, network storage drives, Xbox^® 360, Playstation 3, security cameras - power them all, all at once, without annoying glitches or lags. With a PowerLine AV 500 4-Port Gigabit Switch you not only have the freedom to connect your favorite devices anywhere you need them, but also the 500 Mbps speed and advanced QoS optimization to prioritize heavier traffic, and deliver seamless digital entertainment.

Wall-to-Wall Coverage

PowerLine technology transmits data along the wiring of a building’s existing electrical system, providing a secure and reliable broadband connection to places impossible to reach with a wireless signal. Use your PowerLine AV 500 4-Port Gigabit Switch to extend your PowerLine network and deliver performance up to 500Mbps connectivity exactly where you need it. Just connect your Internet source device to any PowerLine Adapter, plug the PowerLine AV 500 4-Port Gigabit Switch into any electrical outlet, and connect up to 4 high-performance devices to the Switch. Power your entertainment center and keep your home clean and cable-free. PowerLine is the ideal networking solution for homes or small offices where concrete walls, successive floors in multi-storied buildings, or other architectural impediments can significantly weaken wireless coverage and create dead spots.

Wireless Freedom and Wired Reliability

Because a PowerLine Network is hard-wired, there is no external ‘ambient’ interference common to even the most powerful wireless systems. PowerLine network technology is HomePlug AV compliant and works across phases in your building’s electrical box to transmit data reliably by intelligently adapting to the strongest signal channels. Data and electricity transmit at very different frequencies, so there’s never a problem of electrical interference or shorting with a PowerLine device.

Simple and Secure

Extending your PowerLine network to your favorite high-performance devices with a PowerLine AV 500 4-Port Gigabit Switch is a cinch. Just plug it in to any conventional power outlet and D-Link’s ‘Simple Connect’ button will establish a 128-bit security encrypted connection with your existing PowerLine network in a flash. With a PowerLine AV 500 4-Port Gigabit Switch there are no cables to run, holes to drill or wireless signals to configure – extending your existing PowerLine network is as easy as plug and play.  The PowerLine AV 500 4-Port Gigabit Switch protects your network with 128-bit AES data security encryption – the same technology used in E-commerce or online banking. Create your own network name and password or put it at the tip of your fingers with ‘Push Button Security’ standard on every PowerLine device. With hassle-free plug and play installation, and advanced security the PowerLine AV 500 4-Port Gigabit Switch is not only one of the fastest networking solutions available, it’s also one of the safest.
