LN-556 Overview
Wireless Internet in every room over the powerline
-2 homeplugs to start
-Create a wireless hotspot
-Two Fast Ethernet ports (100 Mbps)
-Powerline speed: 500 Mbps
-Security button
The LN-556 Wi-Fi Homeplug Starter Pack lets you start a homeplug network and connect additional devices wirelessly to the internet. With this Wi-Fi Homeplug Starter Pack you can add an extra wireless hotspot to any room in your house to connect extra devices wirelessly, ideal for areas with insufficient wireless coverage.
In addition, the two Fast Ethernet ports let you connect up to two devices per cable, ideal for devices that are not equipped for wireless Internet such as older generations of game consoles, Blu-ray players or desktop PCs.
The great thing about homeplugs is the ease of installation: because this solution makes use of the electrical wiring there is no need to install cables. This allows you to share files and peripherals among all connected devices at speeds of up to 500 Mbps in the blink of an eye — ideal for high speed internet and media applications
Create a secure home network with just one push of the security button. The power-saving function ensures that the homeplug automatically switches to standby when the connected device is switched off. This reduces power consumption by around 60%.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Sitecom LN-556 utilize my existing electrical wiring for networking? +
The LN-556 uses Homeplug Powerline technology to turn your home's standard electrical sockets into high-speed network ports. By plugging one adapter into a wall outlet near your router and another near your device, the system transmits internet data over the copper electrical wires already embedded in your walls, effectively bypassing signal-blocking thick floors or concrete.
What is the maximum data throughput I can expect from the Sitecom LN-556? +
The Sitecom LN-556 is rated for a theoretical maximum data transfer rate of 500 Mbps over the power circuit. While actual performance is subject to your home's electrical wiring quality and physical distance between outlets, this speed is well-suited for high-definition media streaming, online gaming, and reliable connectivity for smart home devices throughout the household.
Is the Sitecom LN-556 2-pack compatible with non-Sitecom Powerline adapters? +
Yes, this kit follows the Homeplug AV standard, which is generally designed to be interoperable with other Powerline adapters that adhere to the same industry standards. However, for the most consistent and stable network performance, using adapters from the same product family or brand is recommended to ensure seamless synchronization and protocol alignment across your network.
Does the LN-556 require complex software installation to get online? +
No, the Sitecom LN-556 features a true plug-and-play design. You simply connect the devices to an available wall outlet and link them to your hardware via Ethernet cables. The adapters will automatically detect each other and establish a secure, encrypted connection without the need for additional software drivers or complex configuration utilities during the initial setup process.
Can I use the Sitecom LN-556 on a power strip or extension cord? +
For optimal signal integrity and throughput, it is strongly recommended that you plug the LN-556 directly into a wall outlet. Power strips, surge protectors, and extension cords often contain internal filters or circuitry that can significantly degrade or interfere with the high-frequency signals used by Powerline technology to transmit data between the two units.
How secure is the data transmission over my electrical wiring with these adapters? +
Security is built directly into the Sitecom LN-556 hardware. The devices utilize advanced 128-bit AES encryption to protect your data as it travels through your electrical lines. This ensures that your network traffic remains private and prevents unauthorized access by neighboring homes sharing the same transformer, maintaining a secure link between your connected devices.
What happens if my electrical wiring is on different circuit breakers? +
Powerline technology typically works best when adapters are on the same electrical phase. If your outlets are on different circuit breakers or phases, the signal may still pass through, though you might experience reduced data rates or increased latency. Performance varies based on the specific electrical layout of your building and the quality of your internal wiring.
Is the LN-556 kit suitable for streaming 4K video content? +
With a 500 Mbps capacity, the Sitecom LN-556 provides sufficient bandwidth for demanding tasks like 4K video streaming. Because it uses a wired connection via electrical lines, it offers a more stable and interference-free connection than standard entry-level Wi-Fi, making it a reliable solution for media centers, smart TVs, and streaming boxes that require consistent data delivery.
How can I obtain a bulk quote for multiple Sitecom LN-556 units for my business? +
