NETGEAR XE602 - Powerline Ethernet Adapter User manual

XE602
Powerline Ethernet Adapter
No New Wires – that’s what NETGEAR’s Powerline means to you.
Powerline uses what’s already there – your home’s electrical outlets.
Completely network your home by plugging in to the existing electrical outlets in
every room, and then by plugging in to an available Ethernet port on your PC. Easily
extend an existing Ethernet network to PCs in other rooms to maximize the use of all
your peripherals. When combined with a Cable/DSL router, XE602 Powerline Ethernet
Adapter makes high-speed Cable or DSL connection available at every outlet, in every
room in your home. The Powerline network can be used to compliment your wireless
network to provide network connection to the furthest reaches of your home. With a
sleek and attractive silver casing, the XE602 complements your living environment
and sports NETGEAR’s new, easy-to-read icons.
Setup is easy. Turn your existing 110V electrical outlets into a seamless network to share
your cable/DSL Internet connection – throughout your home. Imagine networking PC’s in
different rooms without running any unsightly cables. Your network connection is as close
as your nearest electrical outlet.
Just plug in the cables and you’re ready to network your PC’s so that you can share files,
printers and most importantly…you’re Cable/DSL connection. Combined with a
Cable/DSL router, allow the PC in the kid’s bedroom or in the kitchen to now access the
high-speed Internet connection. In addition to this plug-and-play capability, icon-based
indicators allow you to easily monitor network connection and activity .
Robust and rate-adaptive, the XE602 minimizes interference from other household
appliances. So while you run your hair dryer, vacuum cleaner or TV, your network will
automatically find the best data rate so that you can continue surfing, gaming or telecom-
muting. It’s reliable and it’s safe.
