A Wi-Fi Solution 2X Faster than Traditional Repeaters

The PWR51WK01 Kit features a high-performance Powerline Network Adapter and Wireless Network Extender, designed to deliver exceptional network performance and reliability to wired- and wireless-connected devices throughout your entire home. The kit allows you to extend your networking in two ways: through the electrical wires already installed in your home, and through wireless networking. It's the ultimate network extender, and gives you added flexibility when connecting today's Internet-dependent devices, including notebooks, tablets, smartphones, and mobile gaming consoles.

Why is the Wireless Network Extender + Powerline Network Adapter Kit Better than Other Solutions?

There are some distinct advantages. Wireless repeaters connect to your router and your devices simultaneously, so 50% of your bandwidth is already used up as soon as you connect to the network. The PWR51WK01 Kit connects to your router through the electrical wires already in place in your home, doubling performance. Depending on where you place the Wireless Network Extender, you can get rid of wireless dead spots in your home, resulting in a strong and reliable wireless network that extends to your backyard, garage, or second-story bedrooms.

How Does it Work?

It's simple. The Powerline Network Adapter uses your home electrical lines to create a high-speed wired network throughout your home. Then, the Wireless Network Extender transmits the network signal from an electrical outlet, creating a wireless network
