“Cisco’s Linksys products set the standard for great home networking experiences with their ease of use and outstanding performance,” said Scott Kabat, director of marketing, Cisco Home Networking business unit. “Our new Powerline products deliver on this promise. Just plug them in, and they start working.”

Powerline uses HomePlug AV technology to turn any home wall socket into a network connection. So, networking can be delivered to remote areas of a house without expensive drilling and wiring. Linksys Powerline’s space-saving design leaves room for other appliances to be plugged into the same outlet. With a standardized network connection, Linksys Powerline can connect to any Internet-enabled device.

By simply plugging one Powerline adapter into wall outlet and a router, and then adding second adapter to a wall outlet, user can create a wired Internet connection in a home.
