• Connecting multiple wired devices in one room without running new cables.
• Connecting Blu-ray players, media players, gaming consoles, smart TVs, desktop PCs, and network devices.
• HD movie streaming, online gaming, file sharing, and internet access.
• Home networking in rooms where Wi-Fi is weak or Ethernet cabling is difficult.
• Suitable for users who need multiple Ethernet ports from one PowerLine location.
Connect Gates Recommendation:
• Connect Gates recommends the D-Link DHP-346AV for customers who need PowerLine network extension with multiple wired ports in the same room.
• It is a practical choice for entertainment rooms, gaming areas, home offices, and locations with several Ethernet devices.
• The 4-port Fast Ethernet switch makes it more useful than single-port PowerLine adapters when the customer needs to connect more than one device.
• Port-based QoS helps prioritize HD streaming and gaming traffic, making it suitable for multimedia use.
• This switch is recommended when the customer needs simple plug-and-play wired connectivity through electrical wiring, but actual PowerLine performance depends on the wiring quality and whether adapters are connected within the same electrical system.
