Amazon.com Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description The SlingLink Turbo brings network connectivity to any electrical wall outlet, making it ideal for the modern living room with blisteringly fast speeds up to 85 Mbps. With four switched ports, it connects your Slingbox, game console, DVR, computer or anything with an Ethernet jack to your home network. Now you can

run high-speed Internet through your existing electrical wiring with a simple plug-and-play connection. Plus, SlingLink Turbo is compatible with any home router.

Networking Made Simple
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.

Works Well with Others
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.

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



Step 1: Plug the four port SlingLink Turbo into an outlet near your Slingbox and connect the Ethernet cable to your Slingbox's network jack. You can connect up to three more devices to the four port unit.

Step 2: Plug the one port SlingLink Turbo into an outlet near your router and connect the Ethernet cable to your router's network jack.

What's in the Box
Four port SlingLink Turbo switch, one port SlingLink Turbo bridge, quick start guide, and ethernet cable (three meters long).

5 out of 5 stars It's just too simple!   March 29, 2010
Jerry (North Carolina, USA)
I recommend this product when someone complains about not have internet connections near their pc or is tied of running wires or hoping that the wireless will work across long distances in a house. I have 4 of these and they work flawlessly. You won't be disappointed!


5 out of 5 stars Powerline Kit   January 10, 2010
Great innovative idea, using your own electrical lines to convey the signal. Occasionally the signal freezes but could be from a multitude of reasons.Wouldn't hesitate to buy.


5 out of 5 stars This product rules!! End of story.   January 1, 2010

Ever try to network multiple computers, games, devices, etc. through your router wirelessly, but find yourself often troubleshooting inconsistent wireless performance? Well, this product is for you.

The product effectively bridges your router to your devices via the ethernet connections. After connecting a "receiver" to your devices, and a "transmitter" to your router, the digital signals from your router actually travel through the electrical circuits in your house, then inputs to your devices via the ethernet jacks. The product, therefore, "wires" your router connection to the devices, and let's face it, wired connections will win out over wireless for reliability any hour, any day.

I'll explain my setup and maybe you can envision similar applications. I have both a Mac mini and an Apple TV connected to my Plasma HD TV in my living room. My router, and iMac computer housing all media content (music, movies, and photos) resides in our office area about 80 feet away, through multiple doors. Sure, I can get the internet on my living room TV via the Mac mini, and can stream media from my office iMac to the Apple TV both wirelessly, but the consistency and strength is less than desired. Music may stream "OK", but hiccups are common. Movies or other video signals, like video chatting, will stream here and there, but the stream is more often than not interrupted by influences on the wireless signal (There are many, like competing signals in the neighborhood, etc.)

To increase the consistency of performance I tried this product. The "transmitter" is connected to my Fios router and plugged into an electrical outlet in the office area. The "receiver" is connected to both the Apple TV and Mac Mini in the living room via the ethernet ports, and plugged into an electrical outlet in the living room. These connections result in my devices being immediately recognized by the network, thereby allowing me do all sorts of fun things without any of the common interruptions encountered when operating wirelessly. This includes video chatting via Skype or iChat via the Mac Min (with my buddy's images filling up the big screen TV with voices coming through my surround sound speakers...too cool). Anything internet on the Mac mini now works with blazing speeds, and all media content from the iMac in the office streams effortlessly to the Apple TV.......with NO interruptions!

The product does haves the one caveat that the 1 star reviewers have pointed out. That is, the "transmitter", and "receiver" both need to be plugged into sockets on the same electrical circuit. That could be an issue all depending on your home specifics. If that is a problem in your home, I would consider calling in an electrician to see if your particular sockets could be rewired to be put on the same circuit. This could be expensive, but it might be worth it, if you REALLY want to eliminate those annoying hiccups of running wirelessly.

A very nice product....

Product was easy to set up but the quality of transmission was not great. It appears dependent on the devices being on the same circuit which is not a high likelihood


2 out of 5 stars Perhaps a good product that can't improve a bad one...   December 28, 2009

If you get frustrated easily, DO NOT BUY THE SLING MEDIA PRODUCTS, as they require a LOT of support. I am usually quite capable of setting up electronics and computer equipment, yet I had nothing but trouble with these items. Technical support is helpful, though getting my SlingBox, SlingCatcher, and SlingLink Turbo to work required over 5 hours of setup support online (with them taking control of my computer), along with another 2 hours of frustration attempting it myself and another hour searching their website for information. When it works, it works alright...for a while... If you enjoy a challenge, then THESE ARE THE PRODUCTS FOR YOU!

The SlingLinks may be good products "connected" to bad ones, as they DO turn an outlet into an ethernet connection. HOWEVER: the SlingLinks are VERY picky: they must be plugged directly into an outlet (not a power strip or extension cord) so they are not suitable for all applications. If your room setup differs from the pictures, and/or if you have an older home with few outlets to choose from, you may be required to run networking cables across your living room!

Carefully consider the configuration of your equipment to determine feasibility for using this product.
