Introduction

Belkin grabbed my attention with the Powerline AV+ Networking Adapters. This is an "over your existing power lines" solution to the problem of connecting your home theater to your router. The big selling point for me was that the Powerline AV+ not only connects your home theater to your office, but acts as a hub so that you can connect three devices to one port router! Belkin has hit the ball out of the park with the Powerline AV+. As more and more devices are requiring access to your router, I predict the Powerline AV+ will soon become a staple in many a living room.

Dear Sir,

informative article on the Belkin Powerline F5D4075

Belkin does not sell additional adapters for this product.

Do you know which other adapters are compatible with the Belkin F5D4075?

In the event i would like to add additional computers to the powerline network.

Thank you.
