Networking retrofit bundle
G.hn Powerline Starter Pair
Retrofit wired networking without opening walls or giving up the outlet.
Use the existing electrical path to create a wired network link in another room instead of pulling new cable.
Some rooms do not need another Wi-Fi guess. They need a real wired path. This starter pair is built for that job. It gives you the two-node powerline link required to move network connectivity from the router side to another room using existing electrical wiring, while keeping the outlet practical with pass-through power on the front.
Best fit: Best for buyers who need a true sender-and-receiver powerline starter pair for a first wired retrofit link, not a single adapter or a Wi-Fi booster.
A starter powerline pair for buyers who need a sender-and-receiver answer, not a single-node guess.
Quick answer
- What this bundle solves
- It solves the first powerline networking problem correctly by bundling the two adapters required to create the initial link instead of leaving buyers with only half of the path.
- Who this bundle is for
- Home offices, media rooms, gaming spaces, and other rooms where Wi-Fi is unreliable and running new Ethernet is not the preferred retrofit path.
- Why buy this as a bundle instead of separate products
- Buying this as a bundle is better than piecing it together because powerline networking only works when the first sender-and-receiver pair is already handled. This bundle makes that first retrofit link a single decision.
Route from the Bundle Guide
Why this bundle matches your route
- You came here because
- Cannot open walls
- Use this bundle when
- Choose this when new Ethernet runs are disruptive, expensive, or impossible and electrical wiring is the cleaner first path.
- Do not buy this when
- Do not start here if usable coax already exists or if the job needs broader custom network design rather than a clean starter backhaul path.
- Compare next if
- If usable coax already exists, compare the Ethernet-over-Coax Bridge Pair before buying.
- Request project pricing if
- Use project pricing instead if the job spans multiple endpoints, detached structures, or broader custom network planning.
This bundle is the right first click when finished walls cannot be opened and the real job is retrofit backhaul, not a broad custom networking design.
Who this bundle is really for
Buyer fit
Best for buyers who need a true sender-and-receiver powerline starter pair for a first wired retrofit link, not a single adapter or a Wi-Fi booster.
Target persona
A retrofit-minded buyer who wants a more stable wired connection in another room without opening walls or losing the outlet.
Project fit
Use this as the first powerline networking pair when the goal is to create a wired Ethernet path in another room over existing electrical wiring.
Why this bundle exists
This bundle exists to give buyers the real starting point for powerline networking: one node near the router and one node in the destination room.
Use this when you want the first wired retrofit path in place now, then expand to more rooms later with additional compatible nodes.
Included products
Includes the two matching powerline adapters that create the first wired retrofit link.
Two G.hn powerline adapters with pass-through outlets for a sender-and-receiver starter pair.
Included summary: 2 x Comtrend G.hn Wave 2 Powerline Adapter with Pass-Through Outlet (2000Mbps).

Requirements and compatibility
These adapters should be plugged directly into wall outlets for best performance. This is a wired-networking retrofit path, not a Wi-Fi-extender bundle and not a PoE bundle.
Compatibility note: This bundle uses the G.hn Wave 2 powerline protocol. It is the standard pass-through starter pair and does not provide PoE power at the far end. If the remote device needs PoE, move to the PoE edge bundle instead.
Project guidance: A strong fit for PCs, smart TVs, consoles, streaming boxes, and other devices that benefit from a more stable wired Ethernet connection in rooms where new cabling is not the preferred approach.
Install expectation: Plug one adapter near the router, plug the second in at the destination room, and connect the target devices by Ethernet. Expand later with additional compatible G.hn nodes if more rooms need the same path.
Not the right fit when: Not the right fit when the remote device needs PoE power, when the goal is purely better Wi-Fi instead of a wired Ethernet link, or when the project needs a coax-based retrofit path instead of electrical-wiring reuse.
How to choose between this and related options
Choose this when you need the first two-node powerline path. Choose the PoE edge bundle when the far-end device also needs PoE, or choose the coax retrofit bundle when usable coax is already available.

Questions buyers ask before ordering
What does this bundle actually do?
It creates a wired Ethernet link between two rooms by using the home’s electrical wiring as the path between the two included adapters.
Who should skip this starter pair?
Skip it if the far-end device needs PoE power, if you only want a Wi-Fi boost instead of a wired Ethernet link, or if your property already has usable coax that makes an Ethernet-over-coax retrofit the better fit.
