ZyXEL PLA401v3KIT HomePlug AV Powerline Wall-plug Adapter (Starter Kit - 2 units) Up to 200Mbps

Pros: As the title says Device was Plug and play, I have had no issues with it and been using it for 3weeks now to go from my downstairs computer room to my upstairs bedroom and that takes a trip through a breaker panel so its pretty impressive.

Great price.

Cons: None

Pros: Easy setup; basically plug and play. Reliable average transfer speed (at least in my environment) that works if WiFi is intermittent or not available as an option. I'm using this product to stream video from a 1.3MP IP camera to which I cannot run Cat5e and it works perfectly for my needs (5mbps avg).

Cons: Speedtests conducted throughout my house using Netcps averaged about 11mbps (1.45MB/s) which was a little disappointing (minus 1 egg). However, I'm doubtful I could do much better with another powerline product; I believe it's simply a matter of this technology in conjunction with my particular environment. I'm doing more research, but don't believe I'll be able to improve the transfer rate by much.

Other Thoughts: I flashed the firmware on these units with an updated version found on the website using Zyxel's firmware update tool. I found it strange that my units labeled PLA-401 v4 and purchased in 2013 came with 8/2008 firmware installed. After updating, the firmware revision is now 12/2009.

Pros: Very easy to use. Plug it in - router/switch detected it and I'm on the network. It makes for easy testing of cameras and devices you want to place in odd places. I'm glad I bought it and it will make putting my XBOX on the internet a lot easier than a 75ft ethernet cable in my house.

Cons: The downside is the speed. I have 46Mbps/6Mbps internet. On my main PC - that is what I get. On my WiFi - I also get that speed. On this Powerline connection - I'm topping out at 20Mbps, which for some people wouldn't be bad. I'm not disappointed with that, I just wish it was my full internet speed. It is also possible that it could be going through many different breakers to get to the XBOX/test laptop. Who knows....?

Pros: Plug in, run cables to it and forget about it!

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: I bought these because my wireless signal was not strong enough on the opposite end of my house to stream hd content without significant buffering.

I plugged one by my main wireless router and plugged in another on the opposite end of my house to a secondary wireless router in switch mode (to allow the main router to assign ip addresses for sharing). I have 5 bars wireless coverage on both ends of my house. Haven't had any issues streaming hd content. I like them so much I recommended them to my parents due to dead wireless areas in their house and now they have full wireless coverage as well using the same setup as I have.

Note my house was built in the mid 80s and theirs was built in the late 90s.

Buy these you won't be disappointed.

Pros: Easy install. Low price

Cons: wiring dependent

Other Thoughts: Was having trouble getting a connection via wireless for our PS3. Even with a seperate TrendNet Access point. Switched to this and all seems to work fine. I don't get the nearly the max speed but that is probably do at least in part to our wiring. THe two rooms are on seperate breakers on seperate breaker boxes so we probablt pass through 3-4 to get from one to the other.

Pros: Works on any outlet. Almost not setup besided pluging in the ethernet cable.

Cons: It's a little bulky for an outlet and only way to monitor device is to see the status lights.

Other Thoughts: Used to hook up an xbox 360 to router, each in differnt rooms. Works well with online console games.

Pros: Nice solid Adapter

Cons: Slow
Setup is Derpy, and will probably need to be done multiple times to get adapters to connect.

Other Thoughts: Obtained 3 Mb/sec on two adapters within 20 feet of each other, far less than advertised. Sometimes adapters wouldn't connect at all.

Pros: This works well after it is set up.
Fast enough to stream video via my Blu-Ray player.
Firmware upgraded easily.

Cons: Cables are really short.
Would not set up without using the software.
Windows 8 software not yet available.

Pros: Decent setup.

Cons: Might have had a bad wall plug, but was just a serious pain trying to get setup and keep connection(s). Have used powerline adapters before so I thought I'd try these (that were on clearance which should have been a warning in itself lol). Glad Newegg has a good RMA/Return policy.

Other Thoughts: If I had any hair, wife would have pulled it out due to these... Going to try a NetGear Plug in wireless extender. I'll let you know on how it goes... If you purchase these, I hope you get a good pair.

Pros: Easy to setup.
Indicator lights are not too bright
Was up and running in minutes

Cons: Got about wireless N speeds which is what I was trying to beat

Other Thoughts: It worked great, I just did not get the speeds I wished for. I know performance will very so maybe others will have better luck.
