Wd livewire where to buy

Each of the WD Livewire adapters comes with a standard detachable, relatively slim power cable, which allows you to place the adapter away from the power socket. The adapters automatically support the voltage ranging from V to V, meaning they can be used anywhere in the world.

You first connect one of the adapters to the existing network's router or hub and the other to devices at the far corner of the house to which you want to extend the network. After that you just need to plug both adapters into the power source and that's it.

You just made yourself a powerline connection. In case this is somehow still not clear enough, the WD Livewire also comes with a CD that contains a well-illustrated flash application to walk you through via a few steps. There's also a similarly well-illustrated setup poster included in the package. The CD also has the WD Livewire utility software that helps manage and view the adapter's performance or upgrade the adapter's firmware. Performance The WD Livewire kit offered the best throughput performance among powerline adapter kits we've reviewed.

The kit consistently scored 40Mbps, significantly faster than the This is a sustained throughput speed; we tested the adapters by moving a large amount of data from one computer to another via the powerline connection. At this speed the kit transferred MB of data in about seconds. This is a comparable speed to that of fast wireless-N routers. While this is a noticeable boost compared to other powerline adapters, the WD Livewire kit isn't able to stream high-def content as well as Western Digital claims.

In our anecdotal tests, it worked fine with contents at p or lower. Multiple secure connections. A total of 8 ports means you can connect up to 7 devices and your router, all protected with bit encryption.

Encrypted for security. The data transfer between the WD Livewire adapters is protected with the same bit encryption that you trust for your online banking and shopping. And because the encryption is automatic, there's no need to remember a password. Sold by ComX Computers. Facebook Twitter Site map Specifications are subject to change without notice.
