Mercusys MP500 KIT AV1000 Gigabit Powerline Starter Kit UK
The Mercusys MP500 KIT AV1000 Gigabit Powerline Starter Kit UK uses your electrical wiring to extend internet connectivity to rooms far from your router, avoiding walls and obstacles that weaken Wi-Fi. It suits anyone who needs reliable wired ethernet in distant rooms without running cables or installing new infrastructure.
Why this product
1000 Mbps powerline transmission
HomePlug AV2 technology delivers up to 1000 Mbps over existing electrical circuits, with a gigabit ethernet port for consistent wired speeds to PCs, game consoles and streaming devices.
Range up to 300 metres
Transmits across your entire electrical circuit without degradation from walls, metal objects or interference.
Plug and play setup
No configuration or wiring required—connect one adapter to your router and plug the other into any outlet where you need ethernet.
Expandable two-pack design
Add more MP500 adapters to cover additional rooms if your initial two-pack does not reach everywhere you need.
- Maximum transmission rate1000 Mbps
- RangeUp to 300 metres
- Ethernet ports per adapter1 gigabit port
- Kit contents2 adapters, 2 ethernet cables (2 m), installation guide
- Encryption128-bit AES
- Typical power consumption2.35 W (220 V/50 Hz)
- SKUMER-1254
- EAN6957939000530
- Works with Windows 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10, Mac and Linux systems.
- Connects any device with a gigabit ethernet port: PCs, IPTVs, game consoles, printers and smart home equipment.
- Compatible with existing HomePlug AV and HomePlug AV2 networks for easy integration.
- Both adapters must be on the same electrical circuit for the 300-metre range to apply—separate circuits will reduce effective distance.
- Does not work with outlets protected by power conditioners, surge protectors or stabilisers that filter powerline signals.
Best for
- 4K streaming and video content delivery
- Online gaming and low-latency applications
- Extending network to dead zones without Wi-Fi coverage
- Hardwiring devices far from the router without cable runs
Trade-offs
- Homes with modern homes with multiple electrical circuits that isolate rooms.
- Temporary installations—adapters must remain plugged into wall outlets.
- Locations using power management systems that block powerline signals.
Where there's an outlet, there's a network. The MP500 Kit transmits network data via existing electrical circuits, avoiding any negative influence obstacles have on the network. Enjoy a stable extended network with a transmission distance of up to 300 meters (on the same electrical circuit). Perfect for 4K streaming, online gaming, and graphics-intensive applications.
Dual Gigabit Transmission Fast. Unlimited. Enjoyable.
Equipped with advanced HomePlug AV2 technology, the maximum powerline transmission rate reaches a stunning 1000 Mbps—with a gigabit port that delivers a high-quality network through any one of your outlets.
Plug and Play
Immediately extend your network as soon as you connect one, without complex wiring and configuration. Simply connect an MP500 adapter to your router and plug another one into any outlet where you need wired internet service.
Easy Expansion
If a typical two-pack kit doesn't meet all your networking needs, simply add more Powerline adapters to expand your network to any room.
