INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Manhattan
®
SimpleNet (Powerline AV500 Ethernet
Adapter), Model 506663. The Starter Kit, Model 506670, features a pair of units,
the minimum number required to operate the devices.
This device allows you to create a high-speed network for your home or office
by simply plugging it into any electrical outlet. You immediately create a network
using the existing AC power lines that enables high-speed, crystal-clear streaming
of 1080p high-definition (HD) video — great for such popular items as network-
enabled gaming consoles and digital media devices.
There’s no need to drill holes in walls, pull cable through the attic or basement, or
pay for a contractor. Just plug the SimpleNet into the wall, connect it to your router,
and you have now created a network within your home. Attach multiple computers
to the network by simply plugging them into additional SimpleNet adapters.
Because there is no special wiring required, SimpleNet adapters can be installed
with minimal expense. And you can move them to different locations without
having to reconfigure the adapters or your network. Plus, SimpleNet uses 128-bit
encryption for the protection of you and your family.
Detailed instructions in this user manual make installation reasonably quick and
simple, so you’ll soon be enjoying the benefits of all these additional features:
• The latest generation of Powerline technology with higher throughput and
enhanced security
• Up to 500 Mbps network data rates and data security through 128-bit encryption
• Enables high-quality video streaming, VoIP and gaming over a home network
• Plug and Play (no drivers required)
• Software-free security configuration with a simple push of a button
• HomePlug AV compliant; compatible with HomePlug AV adapters*
• Three-Year Warranty
* The SimpleNet is not compatible with the Powerline Turbo Ethernet Bridge, but
the two items can co-exist on the same power line without interfering with one
another.
