Introduction

Do you ever have problems connecting your PC to your wireless router that resides in another room of your house? Do you get bad transmissions or worried that your network gets tapped by other wireless users next door?

Aztech Homeplug HL108E puts and end to all these worries. You no longer need to lay unsightly ethernet cables across the main hall or from 1st floor to 2nd floor. Homeplug HL108E converts your existing Power Line that is already laid to be used as the "ethernet cable".

Although this is not a new technology, it has been quite a challenge to reached the theoritical levels of 100Mbps. HL108E improves on its previous generation and is now rated at 200Mbps.

With more and more broadband users going for IPTV services e.g. Singtel Mio TV which delivers through ethernet, HL108E comes in handy as there are bound to be power plugs near your AV equipment. Thus, you not longer need to lay unsightly cables or use WIFI thatresults in drop packets due to the weak WiFi Signal.
