<h3>Overview</h3>
<p><strong>The Comtrend PG-9182S4 is a G.hn Wave 2 powerline adapter with a built-in 4-port Gigabit Ethernet switch.</strong> It uses your existing electrical wiring to carry network traffic at up to 2000Mbps (PHY), then provides four wired Ethernet ports wherever you plug it in. That makes it perfect for Canadian homes and small offices that want reliable, low-latency connections to TVs, consoles, and streaming devices without pulling new Ethernet cable.</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> A minimum of two G.hn powerline adapters is required to create a working link. Use this PG-9182S4 with another compatible Comtrend G.hn powerline adapter (such as a second PG-9182S4, PG-9182PT, PG-9182AC, etc.).</p>

<h3>Key Features &amp; Benefits</h3>
<ul>
  <li><strong>G.hn Wave 2 powerline up to 2000Mbps PHY</strong> – uses your home’s electrical wiring as a high-speed backbone. Real-world throughput depends on wiring quality, distance and noise, but is typically far more stable than Wi-Fi extenders.</li>
  <li><strong>4-port Gigabit Ethernet switch built in</strong> – connect multiple wired devices (TV, console, streamer, PC, switch, NVR) from a single wall outlet.</li>
  <li><strong>Quick Noise Adaptation (QNA)</strong> – detects electrical noise up to 5x faster to reduce latency and jitter for streaming and online gaming.</li>
  <li><strong>Up to 500Mbps per Ethernet port</strong> – ideal for 4K streaming, cloud gaming and work-from-home traffic when paired with a good broadband connection.</li>
  <li><strong>HomeGrid-certified G.hn</strong> – standards-based powerline technology designed to outperform older HomePlug solutions.</li>
  <li><strong>Secure with one-button pairing</strong> – AES 128-bit encryption between adapters using the Security/Pair button.</li>
  <li><strong>Expandable network</strong> – add more compatible G.hn powerline adapters (up to 16 total) as you extend wired connectivity to more rooms.</li>
</ul>

<h3>Canadian Use Cases</h3>
<ul>
  <li><strong>Home entertainment centres</strong> – feed smart TVs, streaming boxes, consoles and receivers with wired Ethernet using only a nearby outlet.</li>
  <li><strong>Basements &amp; bonus rooms</strong> – bring stable wired connections to finished basements without opening drywall or ceilings.</li>
  <li><strong>Home offices</strong> – hardwire desktops, IP phones and small switches where Wi-Fi is unreliable.</li>
  <li><strong>Suites &amp; multi-level homes</strong> – extend internet into rental suites, lofts and second floors using existing electrical wiring.</li>
  <li><strong>Small businesses</strong> – connect POS terminals, back-office PCs and network printers with minimal disruption.</li>
</ul>

<h3>How It Works</h3>
<ul>
  <li>Adapter 1 (PG-9182S4 or another G.hn unit) plugs into a wall outlet near your modem/router and connects with an Ethernet cable.</li>
  <li>Adapter 2 (this PG-9182S4) plugs into a wall outlet near your devices and connects them via its four Gigabit Ethernet ports.</li>
  <li>The adapters communicate over the electrical wiring to form a secure G.hn Wave 2 powerline link.</li>
</ul>

<h3>What’s Included</h3>
<ul>
  <li><strong>1 x Comtrend PG-9182S4 G.hn Wave 2 Powerline Adapter with 4-Port Gigabit Ethernet</strong></li>
  <li><em>TODO: Confirm whether Ethernet cable(s) and a quick start guide are included in the box.</em></li>
</ul>

<h3>Common Questions</h3>
<ul>
  <li><strong>Do I need a second adapter?</strong><br>
  Yes. A minimum of two G.hn powerline adapters is required. This PG-9182S4 must be paired with another PG-9182S4 or compatible G.hn adapter near the router.</li>

  <li><strong>How is this different from other powerline adapters?</strong><br>
  The PG-9182S4 includes a 4-port Gigabit switch, so you can connect several wired devices at once without adding another Ethernet switch.</li>

  <li><strong>Is this better than a Wi-Fi extender?</strong><br>
  Wi-Fi extenders repeat wireless signals and can add latency. G.hn powerline uses a wired path over electrical wiring, which is often more stable for 4K streaming and gaming between floors or through dense construction.</li>

  <li><strong>Will it work in older Canadian homes?</strong><br>
  In many cases, yes. G.hn Wave 2 is designed for noisy and mixed-quality wiring, but actual speeds depend on wiring condition, distance and what’s plugged into the same circuits.</li>
