welcome to another Linksys power line unboxing this is slightly different from the one that we saw before so there's two versions of the pl something 400 there's the pls k 400 which has the one with one part and the one with the four port hub built in and there's also the PL ek 400 which just has two 200 megabits per second powerline adapters and neither of them has a four port however Swint sure whatever you want to call it it's more of a switch than a happy built in okay so what do what does Linksys have to say for themselves transfer speeds up to 200 megabit per second it should be noted that most powerline kits are not even whatever they're rated at are not capable of exceeding 200 megabits per second anyway so Linksys is claimed is that their spec is a very honest spec if nothing else okay if even if it's not the best specs plug-and-play easy setup I can attest to that push button security which you don't even have to use you just plug them in and they go fast ethernet ports I think by fasting in ten hundred which by today's standards is not that fast but neither is powerline when you compare it with Gigabit Ethernet so it's not really fair powerline is the technology that if you don't already know and you don't follow this channel and you don't know how much I love power lines it allows you to run networking data through the copper wiring that provides electricity to the various parts of your home so you take this you plug it into the wall preferably where there's not lit and not here and then you have an Ethernet cable that runs either to your router or to some other networking device whether it's a smart TV down in your media center or whether it's a computer that's in the attic and is otherwise very inconvenient to access with with straight networking cable comes with everything you need including two Ethernet cables which you plug into there and then plug into the other thing that you want so the networking happens between these two actually this is the best raishin I can think of four powerline because it basically works like this these guys interpret the data that runs along I can never remember it eight pins here turns it into two pins here then there's some copper wire in between and this guy interprets it on the other side for eight pins to be compatible with pretty much any network adapter anywhere attached to a device so there's the button that enables the security there's your Gigabit Ethernet or gigabit 10100 Ethernet port there's your power indicator there's your network indicator and there's your other more different network indicator for the other more different network that is running on here don't forget to subscribe to Linus tech tips from unboxings reviews and other computer videos and thank you for watching
