FEATURE DESCRIPTION
Powerline Functionality The HomePlug AV standard specifies how network devices
communicate using standard electrical wiring.
It supports a data transfer rate of up to 200Mbps.
Data is encrypted using 128-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard).
HomePlug AV compatible devices co-exist with HomePlug 1.0 devices
but do not detect each other.
The range of a HomePlug AV Powerline network is 300 meters/984 feet
in optimal conditions.
HomePlug AV is compatible with all OSs.
The maximum number of devices connected (bridged) to single
powerline adapter is 64.
The maximum number of powerline devices on a single network is 64.
The maximum number of powerline networks on a single electrical circuit
is 4.
HomePlug AV devices using version 3.0.5 firmware cannot communicate
with earlier version firmware.
Coaxial Functionality The range of a HomePlug AV Coaxial network is 800 meters/2624 feet in
optimal conditions.
Encryption 128-bit AES Encryption
