welcome to another links's power line unboxing this is slightly different from
the one that we saw before so there's two versions of the pl something 400
there's the plsk 400 which has the one with one port and the one with the four
port Hub built in and there's also the pl ekk 400 which
just has two 200 megabit per second
power line adapters and neither of them
has a four port Hub or switch or whatever you want to call it it's more
of a switch than a hub built in okay so
what do what does lynxis have to say for themselves transfer speeds up to 200
megabit per second it should be noted that most Powerline kits are not even
whatever they're rated at are not capable of exceeding 200 megabits per
second anyway so Lyn's claim is that their spec is a very honest spec if not
nothing else okay if even if it's not the best spec Plug and Play easy setup I
can attest to that push button security which you don't even have to use you
just plug them in and they go fast Ethernet ports I think by fast they mean
1000 which by today's standards is not that fast but neither is power line when
you compare it with gigabit Ethernet so it's not really fair power line is the
technology that if you don't already know and you don't follow this Channel
and you don't know how much I love power line it allows you to run networking
data through the copper wiring that provides electricity to the various
parts of your home so you take this you plug it into the wall preferably where
there's an outlet and not here and then
you have an Ethernet cable that runs either to your router or to some other
networking device whether it's a smart TV down in your media center or whether
it's a computer that's in the attic and is otherwise very inconvenient to access
with uh with straight networking cable
comes with everything you need including two Ethernet cables which you plug into
there and then plug into the other thing that you want so the networking happens
between these two actually this is the best illustration I can think of for
power line cuz it basically works like this these guys interpret the data that
runs along I can never remember it eight pins here turns it into two pins here
then there's some copper wire in between and this guy interprets it on the other
side for eight pins to be compatible with pretty much any network adapter
anywhere attached to a device so there's the button that enables the security
there's your gigabit Ethernet or gigabit 1000 Ethernet port there's your power
indicator there's your um network indicator and there's your other more
different network indicator for the other more different network that is running on here don't forget to
