Wireless-N HomePlug AV 200 Wall Plug Ethernet Adapter Extend your wireless coverage and remove dead zones using your existing power lines
The BiPac 2073N uniquely combines a high-speed wireless 'N' access point with a Homeplug AV adapter, giving the best of both worlds in one easy-to-use device - super fast homeplug networking with the new generation powerline AV technology that allows speeds of up to 200Mbps through your existing mains power supply network, and up to 300 Mbps high-speed wireless connectivity.
Simply add a 2073N plug to your existing powerline network and create a mini wireless 'N' hotspot anywhere in the home. If you do not have an existing powerline network you can create one by using a Billion P104 Homeplug starter pack or a Billion 2074 Homeplug pass-through device.
Great for use in larger homes, garages, outbuildings, or where the thickness of the walls prevents good wireless coverage. The 2073N will carry your internet connection through your existing powerline network to inaccessible parts of the premises, and then relay it wirelessly to your laptop, desktop, games console, printer, camera or any wireless device in client mode. WEP, WPA, WPA2 wireless encryption can be set up in the usual way to maximise your wireless security
Unique interchangeable sockets are included to enable the Homeplug to be placed away from obstructions, such as skirting boards or shelving, by rotating the unit around 180. In addition the Homeplug adaptor will go into "sleep" mode when not being used, offering a saving of 60% over other adaptors.

Benefits
No sweat to set up an in-home network
The BiPAC 2073N does not require the time and money needed to install expensive Ethernet cables throughout your house in order to share your home network. Nor does it require any drilling. Just one touch of the Sync button to install the bridge utility and your high-speed network is ready. Its as easy as simply plugging in your networking devices and using the electrical wiring in your home.
Extended Wireless Coverage
With an integrated Draft-802.11n Wireless Access Point, the adapter can bridge wireless connections of up to 6 times the speed and 3 times the wireless coverage of an 802.11b / g network device.It supports a data rates up to 300Mbps and is also compatible with 802.11b / g equipment. The Wireless Protected Access (WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK) and Wireless Encryption Protocol (WEP) features enhance the level of transmission security and access control over Wireless LAN. The device also supports the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) standard, allowing users to establish a secure wireless network by simply pushing a button.
Smooth traffic and prioritization
Quality of Service control guarantees the transmission quality by automatically prioritizing data. The BiPAC 2073N automatically recognizes the bandwidth needs of voice and video applications. QoS prioritizes the data to guarantee optimal transmission quality. TV and video images are received and displayed with absolute smoothness. QoS also guarantees clear, instant transmission of voice data, even when other applications are running on the network at the same time. QoS makes your network a pleasure to use.
Immune to noise and intervention
Unlike others, the device supports superior and noise-immune data transmission over in-home electrical power lines. Even at the moment your family turns on an electronic device or turns off a light, you wont experience any interruption to latency-sensitive applications such as multimedia or video being shared with your family in another room.
