Chapter 1: Product Overview
The TPL-310AP 200Mbps Powerline AV Wireless N Access Point is an excellent
solution that can be used to extend your network using your home or small office
electrical wiring. In a home or small office building, use TPL-310AP adapters to link
multiple locations without the need to run long Ethernet cables. Combined with a single
broadband DSL/Cable Internet connection, every room with electrical power outlets can
provide easy access to your high-speed Internet connection.
The TPL-310AP 200Mbps Powerline AV Wireless N Access Point allows you to
create or extend a wireless network using powerline technology. Using powerline as the
network backbone, the TPL-310AP can be placed at where a wireless signal is needed,
rather than at the farthest corner of a wireless network. Multiple TPL-310AP adapters
can be used to cover larger areas without increasing wireless radiation and through the
use of powerline as your network backbone with no additional wiring required. In
addition, any Ethernet-enabled device may be connected to the 10/100Mbps Auto-MIDX
Fast Ethernet port.
The TPL-310AP coverage is provided by sending data signals through the walls
themselves via the electrical system using powerline technology and then supplying
802.11 wireless connectivity in the room where it is needed. In environments where
wireless cannot provide a high degree of performance/connectivity, powerline will
provide an alternative option to this obstacle. With 802.11n wireless data rates of up to
300Mbps and HomePlug® AV speeds of up to 200Mbps, this easy-to-setup solution can
provide fast streaming HD movies, online multiplayer games, and other data intensive
applications for today’s HD Entertainment Center demand.
