PL6400 is designed for MikroTik products with microUSB port, like hAP mini or hAP lite. Connect PL6400 to your electrical outlet and then connect the USB cable to power your supported MikroTik device. When doing the same with another PWR-LINE compatible device somewhere further in your premises, the devices will form a connection without needing to install any LAN cables.

How it works?

The PWR-Line is a replacement power adapter for your microUSB powered MikroTik router. It’s compatible with all the latest microUSB powered devices made by MikroTik, a simple software upgrade to v6.44+ enables this feature (supported by the mentioned devices with serial numbers that ends with /9xx. PWR-LINE functionality is also supported by some of previously manufactured units - if you have unit with serial number that ends with /8xx , upgrade to 6.44 and see if PWR-LINE interface shows up).

Simply take away the old microUSB power adapter, and replace it with the PWR-Line adapter. The device is still powered from USB, but now it gains a new Ethernet interface, which works over the electrical grid. Connect another PWR-Line device somewhere in your apartment, and the devices will be joined together, allowing you to extend wireless coverage, or simply ease connectivity between different rooms, without requiring you to lay any cabling.
