CITY OF INDUSTRY, Calif., Jan. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- TP-LINK, a global provider of networking products, today announced its new 300Mbps AV200 Wireless N Powerline Extender (TL-WPA281), designed to extend a network connection to every room of your house using your existing electrical wiring, and broadcasting a powerful wireless signal at 300Mbps in that particular room. Ideal as a whole home solution, it reliably connects all network compatible devices, such as computers, game consoles, set-top boxes, printers and NAS servers.

With the AV200 Wireless N Powerline Extender, all devices in a room will have two easy options to access the network, via wireless or via an Ethernet cable (which plugs into your Powerline adapter). With the built-in QoS feature, it is ideal for bandwidth-consuming or latency-sensitive applications like video streaming, online gaming and Internet calls. Powerline technology is a sensible alternative for areas in the home or office that are hard to reach with Wi-Fi connections -- more reliable than Wi-Fi and more flexible than wired connections.
