he Linksys Instant PowerLine™ EtherFast®10/100
Bridge offers a complete Internet connection solu-
tion for your home powerline network. The
PowerLine Bridge makes sharing your broadband access
easier than ever. Build a strong and simple-to-use home
network by taking advantage of the most pervasive home
networking medium—powerlines.
The PowerLine Bridge is ideal for users who already have a
router. It can be plugged into an Ethernet port on a router
to equip a network with powerline capabilities and take
advantage of the router’s features. The PowerLine Bridge
can also plug directly into a cable or DSL modem to allow
Internet access and data transfer rates up to 14Mbps over
home powerlines.
With the PowerLine Bridge, create a network in no time at
all to share an Internet connection (a router may be
required), files, and printers, or even play multi-user net-
work games at blazingly fast speeds. It’s easy, convenient,
and cost-effective.
