Extend Your Network Using Electrical Outlets
NETGEAR’s 85 Mbps Wall-Plugged Ethernet Adapter (XE103) is the fast solution for extending
your home network by using standard electrical outlets. It delivers everything you need to set
up an Internet connection in any room without running new wires. Once it is inserted into the
wall outlet, simply plug one XE103 into your router and another XE103 into any Ethernet-
ready device. For instance, you can use its 10/100 Ethernet port to connect a desktop or
notebook PC, a gaming console, NETGEAR’s SC101 Storage Central, a Slingbox™, a DVR or
NETGEAR’s PS121 USB Print Server. You eliminate dead spots in your wireless network, while
enjoying a fast 85 Mbps speed capable of transmitting multiple video streams at once and
without interruption. With no software to install, setup is literally a matter of Plug and Play.
