Like most similar kits, it comes with two different adapters, the smaller of which is technically called the PL-E41, and is meant to sit next to your router and send out the signal to the other, larger device, called PL-N12. Extend the connection over the power line and you’ll get a better signal using the internal antennas in the power line adapter. This might be very useful in a house where a router’s wireless signal alone is slow in some rooms. Designed to carry networking data over a power line, it also has a small wireless network built into one of the two adapters – allowing you to extend your network to both wired PCs and mobile devices too. That very much applies to wireless extenders, adapters and power line networking kit, such as the PL-N12 from Asus. Rather than being a centrepiece that actively improves the visual fidelity or frame rate of games, good networking kit fades into the background, and when working at its best, you barely notice it’s there.
Networking kit is best thought of as part of the ‘plumbing' of your technology setup. Designed for affordability, with support for wireless standards up to 802.11n, it supports an encrypted wired signal over power lines, adds a second Ethernet port to the main access point and has a useful standby mode to cut energy use when idle. The Asus PL-N12 WiFi HomePlug AV500 Powerline Adapter kit is a relatively simple pair of adapters that simultaneously extend network range over both power lines and wireless.
