*Note: The following factors may affect the powerline network’s connection quality:
Noise – Generated by appliances that are connected to your electrical system through power outlets that have high power
consumption requirements. (e.g. Microwaves, ovens, blow dryer, iron, dishwasher, etc.) The quality of your household
electrical wiring may also cause additional noise on your electrical system.
Distance – Long lengths of electrical wiring through your electrical system between connected powerline adapters.
