This networking assembly utilizes a Qualcomm-based architecture adhering to the HomePlug AV2 standard. Technical analysis identifies the integration of an 802.11ac Wi-Fi radio, providing dual-band operation with metrics of 300 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz frequency and 867 Mbps on the 5 GHz frequency.
The hardware build features high-quality electrolytic capacitors rated for continuous thermal loads. Physical connectivity is supported by Gigabit 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports, while the integrated AC passthrough incorporates an EMI noise filter to protect the data carrier signal from local electrical interference.
- Integrated Features: OneMesh firmware compatibility, AES 128-bit encryption, Dual-band wireless radio.
- Connectivity options: Wireless-AC, Wired Gigabit Ethernet, AC Passthrough.
Operational data confirms that MIMO functionality utilizes the ground wire to enhance throughput in grounded environments. Performance is contingent upon direct wall outlet connection, as surge protection components are known to attenuate the high-frequency signal required for powerline communication.
Users seeking a transparent Layer 2 bridge without wireless broadcasting should consider the Netgear PLP2000 as an alternative for dedicated wired backhaul.
This unit combines wireless extension with traditional powerline adapters architecture.
