The Trendnet 1300 AV2 Adapter Kit expands your network to hard-to-reach areas, delivering reliable speeds in rooms where Wi‑Fi signal strength is often weakest. Whether you’re streaming 4K content on a smart TV, gaming online, or conducting video calls, this kit provides a dependable backbone that keeps data flowing smoothly across your home.
• High-performance AV2 technology with theoretical speeds up to 1300 Mbps. Built for high-bandwidth tasks, the adapters optimize throughput by using multiple frequency bands and advanced signal processing to minimize interference from household electronics and other powerline networks. In real-world usage, you’ll notice a noticeable improvement in streaming stability, quicker file transfers, and reduced buffering, especially in multi-room setups.
• Easy plug-and-play installation with encrypted security. The kits are designed for quick setup—plug the adapters into wall outlets, connect your devices via the built-in Ethernet ports, and pair them to create a secured network link. AES 128-bit encryption protects your data as it travels across your electrical wiring, ensuring privacy and preventing eavesdropping on shared circuits. No complex configuration or router tweaks required; just straightforward, reliable networking.
• One or more Gigabit Ethernet ports per adapter for fast wired connections. Each adapter in the kit provides at least one Gigabit Ethernet port to connect streaming boxes, gaming consoles, PCs, or desktop workstations directly to the network. This wired connection reduces latency and improves throughput compared to wireless connections alone, making it ideal for latency-sensitive activities like online multiplayer gaming and high-definition video conferencing.
• Compact, wall-outlet-friendly design with guidance LEDs. The adapters are engineered to sit neatly in standard outlets without crowding power strips or furniture. LED indicators on the units help you quickly verify link status, activity, and pairing progress, so you can troubleshoot at a glance. The result is a clean, unobtrusive setup that blends into any living room, bedroom, or home office while delivering dependable networking capabilities.

How to install Trendnet Powerline 1300 AV2 Adapter Kit

• Unpack the kit and identify the two adapters. Position one adapter near your router and the other in the room where you need a hard-wired connection.
• Plug the first adapter directly into a wall outlet close to your router, then connect the router to the adapter using a standard Ethernet cable.
• Plug the second adapter into a wall outlet in the target room where you want a wired connection. Avoid plugging adapters into power strips or surge protectors for optimal performance.
• Power on both adapters and press the pairing button on each unit to enable a secure, encrypted connection. Wait for the Link/Activity LEDs to confirm a solid connection.
• Connect your streaming device, gaming console, PC, or smart TV to the second adapter using an Ethernet cable. Verify that the connected device recognizes the network and begins receiving data at stable speeds.
• If needed, relocate the adapters to improve performance. In some layouts, moving the second adapter to a different outlet on the same circuit can reduce noise and improve throughput.
• For best results, ensure both adapters share the same electrical circuit. If you experience instability, try plugging into outlets on different phases within the same main service panel or consult a network specialist for layout guidance.
• Maintain a clean, minimal setup by avoiding obstruction around the adapters and ensuring air flow around the outlets. Regularly check LEDs to confirm a healthy connection, and perform a quick speed test to verify performance.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What is a Powerline 1300 AV2 Adapter Kit?
