Mercusys MP500 AV1000 Gigabit Powerline Starter Kit
The Mercusys MP500 Kit transforms your home's electrical wiring into a high-speed network infrastructure. Delivering 1000 Mbps powerline transmission using advanced HomePlug AV2 technology, this kit provides a reliable alternative to WiFi extenders for areas with weak wireless coverage.
Network Through Your Power Outlets
This powerline adapter kit transmits data through your existing electrical circuits, eliminating the need for additional cabling or drilling. With a transmission distance of up to 300 meters on the same electrical circuit, the MP500 bypasses physical obstacles that typically interfere with wireless signals. The solution supports 4K streaming, online gaming, and bandwidth-intensive applications without degradation.
Gigabit Ethernet Performance
Each adapter features a gigabit ethernet port capable of delivering full-speed wired connections to PCs, smart TVs, gaming consoles, and IPTV devices. The HomePlug AV2 standard ensures maximum throughput while maintaining backward compatibility with HomePlug AV devices.
Installation and Setup
Connect one MP500 adapter to your router via the included 2-meter ethernet cable, then plug a second adapter into any outlet where wired connectivity is needed. The adapters automatically pair without software installation or configuration. Network expansion is achieved by adding additional MP500 adapters to the existing powerline network.
Security and Power Efficiency
128-bit AES encryption protects data transmitted across the powerline network. Power consumption remains low at 2.35W typical operation and 0.64W in standby mode. The compact 101 x 60 x 36mm housing fits standard UK outlets without blocking adjacent sockets.
