device?
A: The Powerline adapter is a plug & play device, requiring no configuration.
Wireless signal not only is easily affected adversely by obstacles like walls
and ceilings but also neighboring networks.

other?
A: Yes. This Medialink Powerline adapter complies with HomePlug AV
standard and thus can communicate with other manufacturers’ HomePlug
AV‐compliant Powerline devices.

A: Yes. The Powerline network delivers data over electric wiring via
electricity. Without presence of electricity alone the wires, data transmission
by Powerline adapters is made impossible.
Q10. Would it be dangerous to use the Powerline adapter in a
thunderstorm?
A: The adapter’s internal lightning proof facility protects PCs or other devices
connected against any potential and harmful lightning attacks.
