85 Mbps Powerline 4-Port Hub

The Actiontec MegaPlug 4-port Hub combined with the Ethernet adapter is an amazing set that can assist with a computer users networking needs without cables cluttering the household. Easy installations and connections coupled with good performance are evident. With that in mind and looking at the low price range of the system, Actiontec has come up with a great solution for users.

While using standard power lines to carry Ethernet signaling throughout a structure might sound like something from science fiction, the reality is that those power lines located behind the walls offer a wonderful conduit for transmitting data.

One advantage HomePlug has over Wi-Fi is its easier set up and its simpler, more intuitive operation. You plug the small transformer-sized MegaPlug Ethernet Adapter into an electrical outlet and attach the included Ethernet cable to an existing network router or PC.

Actiontec says the MegaPlug devices increase throughput by six times over the existing HomePlug 1.0 standard. The adapters plug into an existing electrical socket to eliminate the need for Ethernet cabling around the home.
