Product Description

If you're like most people, you don't have an Ethernet jack right next to your television - or a hot tub in the living room for that matter. And while having both would be splendid, the SlingLink can at least resolve one of those dilemmas. The SlingLink TURBO brings network connectivity to any electrical wall outlet, making it ideal for the modern living room. With four switched ports, it connects your Slingbox, game console, DVR, computer or anything with an Ethernet jack. And it's compatible with any home router. Just plug one SlingLink TURBO into the wall near your router, and plug in the other SlingLink TURBO wherever you have your Slingbox installed, and voila! You're connected to the Internet.

<b>Networking Made Simple</b>
The SlingLink Turbo acts as an extension cord for the Internet by using your home's existing electrical wiring to transmit the ethernet signal from your router. Just plug one SlingLink into the wall near your router, and plug in the other included SlingLink wherever you have your Slingbox installed, and voila!, you're connected to the Internet. Additionally, you should know that the SlingLink won't impact the performance of your network. It simply sends your home's Internet connection from your office or wherever you've placed your router to another household room via your electrical wiring. So wherever you have a wall socket, you can also have a broadband connection for all of your devices.

<b>Works Well with Others</b>
It's a little-known fact, but the SlinkLink Turbo will work with other Powerline adapters you might already have. If, for example, you already have a Netgear Powerline Ethernet adapter, just plug it into another outlet in the house and you will be connected to the Internet. SlingLink Turbo will recognize it in the network and adopt it into the configuration. You can connect up to 16 Powerline adapters in your house and all of them will talk to the SlingLink Turbo connected to your router.

<b>Easy Setup</b>
In just two steps you can have your Slingbox, game console, DVR and Media Center PC connected to your network:

Works as expected.......2007-06-01

It works just the way you would want the device to work. Don't plug it into a surge protector - go straight to the outlet and it will connect without an issue. Only complaint is it takes a little longer to load the channel at full KB and obviously it adds more of a delay Approx 5 sec behind. But I love it - now i have an HD tv down the hall without paying for an additional cable box plus I can get my TV at work :-P

Works Freaking Great.......2007-05-18

Where my Internet router and the Slingbox are located are not close to one another. Since I can't do wireless with the Slingbox I got the SlingLink and it works awesome. I was a little worried because the two rooms are on different circuits, but no problems. Easy to setup and no problems!! Anyone who is looking to setup their Slingbox to their router without having to run a long cable across the floor, this works great.
