Plug-and-Play Setup Gets You Going Fast
A PC Magazine Editor's Choice, the Powerline AV is a snap to set up. Just plug one XAV101 adapter into an available electrical socket near your router, and connect your router to it. Then plug a second XAV101 adapter (not included) into any electrical socket that's located near the device you want to network. When you connect your device into the XAV101, it will be connected to your network.

It's as simple as that. There's no software to install, no passwords to remember, and no configuration whatsoever. And you can easily create more network connections throughout your home by simply installing additional adapters.

Please note that this product comes with only one XAV101 adapter. You'll need at least two adapters to create your network. You can also purchase the NETGEAR XAVB101 Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter Kit, which includes two adapters.

Fast Network Connection for Media Streaming
The Powerline AV supports the Homeplug AV protocol and delivers up to 200 Mbps network speed, fast enough for high-quality HD video streaming, music streaming, gaming, and VoIP (Voice-over-Internet Protocol) telephone calls. The Powerline AV Ethernet adapter is perfect for devices such as TiVo, Slingbox, Xbox 360, Playstation 3, networked televisions, and more.

Push-Button Security for Extra Safety
Unlike wireless connections, a Powerline network connection is secure. The XAV101 supports 128-bit AES encryption. Setting up a secure connection with the Powerline is as simple as pushing a button. And for the ultimate in convenience, the Powerline also features three different colored LEDs that give information on Power, Network Status, and Ethernet connections.

The adapter measures 2.83 x 3.86 x 1.57 inches (WxHxD) and is backed by a one-year warranty.
