Plaster Networks AV200 powerline Ethernet adapter

When there's no substitution for a wired connection, like when someone wants a switch or a network attached storage (NAS) device, powerline network connections are a viable alternative.

Plaster Networks' new AV200 is the latest addition to the powerline networking company's line of products and it's designed to provide a less expensive means of powerline network connectivity to homeowners.

According to the company, installers can lower the costs of their retrofit network installations by combining the AV200 adapter with the company's PLN3 unit and they can employ multiple AV200s throughout the home as the client needs additional connections.

Plaster is offering a start-up powerline networking kit that combines one PLN3 adapter and one AV200 adapter for a total of $130, with an additional $65 for each AV200 adapter.
