Powerline 500 Kit

Internet everywhere from any power socket!

The Powerline 500 Kit which includes 2 Powerline 500 adapters creates in an extremely simple way a high-speed home network using your home’s existing electrical wiring at speeds up to 500 Mbit/s.

No new wire required! Connect computers, consumer electronic and network-compatible devices to the Internet in any room and any floor of your home by simply using a power outlet.

You just have to connect one Powerline 500 adapter to your internet modem via an Ethernet port and your Internet connection becomes immediately available from any power socket by using the second Powerline 500 adapter in the room of your choice.

The Powerline 500 Kit, which includes 2 Powerline 500 adapters, creates in an extremely simple way a high-speed home network using your home’s existing electrical wiring at speeds up to 500 Mbit/s.
No new wire is required! Connect computers, consumer electronics and network compatible devices to the Internet in any room and any floor of your home by simply using a power outlet.
You just connect one Powerline 500 adapter to your internet modem via an Ethernet port. Your Internet connection becomes immediately available from any power socket by using the second Powerline 500 adapter in the room of your choice.
Use the Powerline 500 Kit to connect all your bandwidth hungry wired devices to the Internet, such as IPTV decoder, Smart TV, Amazon Fire TV, Android box, Apple TV®, media player, computer, games console ... and free up your Wi-Fi network.
Each Powerline 500 Kit adapter is equipped with 1 Ethernet port. Connect all of your network compatible devices to the Internet in minutes! No system requirements! No software to install! Plug & Play.
The Powerline 500 Kit is the best solution to stream your HD videos and movies on your fixed device players all over the house without running any cable.
Connect your modem to your IPTV decoder with high video quality without running cables!
Your modem and your IPTV decoder are not in the same room? It is not an issue. No need to run cables! The Powerline 500 Kit is your solution.
Connect one Powerline 500 adapter to your modem through the Ethernet port. Then locate your IPTV decoder and your TV in the room of your choice. You only need to connect the second Powerline 500 Adapter to your IPTV decoder to enjoy your live TV.
You have already successfully installed a Powerline 500 Kit? Congratulations! You now want to extend your network to other parts of your home to connect even more network devices?
Simply add a new Powerline 500 adapter to the room of your choice. Connect your new Powerline 500 adapter to the existing network in seconds with the "Connect & Secure" button.
No system requirements! No software to install! Just Plug & Play.
Each Powerline 500 adapter is equipped with an extra noise filtered power socket.
Do not waste any power outlet. Plug the Powerline 500 adapters directly into the wall outlet and use the extra noise filtered power socket to power your appliances or to plug in a power strip.
The integrated noise filter reduces electrical interference and improves the performance of the Powerline communications.

The units must be re-paired.
Instructions: Each new powerline socket must be paired with the first socket.

  • Connect the adapters one after the other to a power strip (example picture).
  • Make sure that each adapter is connected with an Ethernet RJ45 cable (supplied in the box) to a working device (box, Android box, Smart TV, computer, etc.)

There must be communication on the Ethernet port otherwise the adapter will automatically go into standby mode.
o Example: INTERNET BOX / RJ45 cable / Powerline 500 / Multi plug / Powerline 500 / RJ45 cable / PC

  • Once the adapter is plugged in and connected to the Ethernet, simply press the "Connect & Secure" button on the front panel for 10 seconds.
  • Repeat the same operation on the second adapter, always taking care to have an active Ethernet connection.
  • Repeat the same operation for a third powerline and this up to 8 powerline 500 Strong on the same electrical installation.

All the LEDs must be green at the end of the operations.

The data rate displayed on the STRONG Powerline 500 (as well as all Powerlines 500 on the market) is the maximum data rate used for the transmission of signals on the link.  The useful speed is lower than the maximum speed because the transmission of data always requires a significant use of the band, which reduces the available bandwidth. In fact a Powerline 500 has a useful data rate of around 100Mbit/s.
The quality of your electrical installation can further reduce the available bandwidth and you will usually get less than 100Mbit/s.
An overly extensive or old electrical installation can significantly increase the data rate loss.  Potentially disruptive electrical devices left plugged in unnecessarily can also significantly increase throughput losses. (e.g. telephone charger, power transformer, etc.).
For information, to transmit an HD signal, 5Mbit/s is sufficient, to transmit a UHD (4K) signal, 20Mbit/s is sufficient.
You can connect up to 8 STRONG Powerlines 500 in your home within the limit of a single electric meter.
This is normal, the Powerlines 500 automatically go to sleep if no activity is detected. When a signal is detected on the Ethernet port, the PLC500 will turn back on.
It may take a few seconds for a Powerline 500 in standby mode to detect new activity and turn back on. 
A Powerline 500 is sufficient but it will not allow you to benefit from all the potential speed offered by your internet service provider. If you want a Powerline network that matches your fibre optic speed, you must ensure that your electrical installation complies with standards and use Powerlines equipped with Gigabit ports. The 1000, 1200, 1300 or 2000 Powerlines are equipped with them.

Means that the Powerline is on.

Means that a network is detected

Means that the STRONG Powerline 500 is paired and connected to another STRONG Powerline 500

It is impossible to connect Powerlines with different data rates. A Powerline 500 cannot be connected to a Powerline 1000 or more.  In theory, a Powerline 500 can be connected to Powerlines 500 of different brands, but we cannot guarantee that it will work properly with Powerlines 500 of other brands, as there may be software differences.
