* Maximum of 8 adapters (nodes) recommended for streaming video across your
network.
** 1.2 Gbps is the maximum theoretical Powerline data rate when connected to
another Powerline 1200 device. Data throughput may vary by circuit wire
conditions. If an electrical system does not have a grounded connection, the
theoretical networking speed is reduced to 600 Mbps.
*** Powerline communication works on a single electrical system. (Usually
controlled by a single distribution panel). Power strip, GFCI outlets, and AFCI circuit
breakers may degrade Powerline network signals.
