De maximale (theoretische) snelheid waarop het apparaat data kan verzenden en ontvangen. In de praktijk is de snelheid vaak lager, want zij is van veel factoren afhankelijk, onder andere van de snelheid van de computers die verbonden zijn, de kwaliteit van de bedrading en/of obstakels zoals muren, in geval van een draadloos netwerk.

Een Ethernet-LAN (Local Area Network)-interface is aanwezig, voor een vast netwerkverbinding via een kabel.

The characteristics of the Ethernet LAN interface.

De verschillende snelheden van de Ethernet LAN-verbinding in megabit per seconde.

Number of Ethernet LAN (RJ-45) ports (connecting interfaces) in the device. Ethernet LAN (RJ-45) ports allow a computer to connect to the ethernet.

Popular technology that allows an electronic device to exchange data or connect to the internet wirelessly using radio waves.

Connection of this device is done via Wi-Fi in a high standard.

The type of wireless local area network (LAN): ad-hoc (where units in a network communicate peer-to-peer) or Infrastructure (units communicate with each other via an access point). A LAN interconnects computers in a small area e.g. home, school or office.

The way in which the network is working, e.g. IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g.

There is a power socket (port) in the device.

Power-line communication (PLC) carries data on a conductor that is also used simultaneously for AC electric power transmission or electric power distribution to consumers. Two distinctly different sets of standards apply to powerline networking as of early 2010. Within homes, the HomePlug AV and IEEE 1901 standards specify how, globally, existing AC wires should be employed for data purposes. The IEEE 1901 includes HomePlug AV as a baseline technology, so any IEEE 1901 products are fully interoperable with HomePlug AV, HomePlug GreenPHY or HomePlug AV2 specification.

Modulation is the process of varying one or more properties of a periodic waveform, called the carrier signal (High Frequency Signal), with a modulating signal which typically contains information to be transmitted. The aim of digital modulation is to transfer a digital bit stream over an analog bandpass channel, for example over the public switched telephone network (where a bandpass filter limits the frequency range to between 300 and 3400 Hz), or over a limited radio frequency band. The aim of analog modulation is to transfer an analog baseband (or lowpass) signal, for example an audio signal or TV signal, over an analog bandpass channel at a different frequency, for example over a limited radio frequency band or a cable TV network channel.

Er zijn verschillende manieren om data te versleutelen voordat het verzonden wordt. Over het algemeen geld, hoe meer bits, hoe veiliger.

De maximale afstand waarop het apparaat werkt.

Het vermogen van het apparaat, uitgedrukt in Watts. Typische waardes die fabrikanten geven zijn stroomverbruik indien uitgeschakeld, standby/suspended, typisch gebruik, maximaal gebruik.

The colour e.g. red, blue, green, black, white.
