Works well

TP-LINK TL-PA211KIT AV 200Mbps Mini Multi-Streaming Powerline Adapter Starter Kit
TP-LINK TL-PA211KIT AV 200Mbps Mini Multi-Streaming Powerline Adapter Starter Kit

Pros: I got this powerline adapter to ensure a more reliable connection to a computer furthest away from the wireless router. I would say the connection speed is almost equivalent to an actual ethernet connection.

Cons: On occasion the adapters may need to be reset, which is particularly annoying especially if the adapters are far away from one another (which if you are getting this, is probably the case). Despite being a seldom occurrence, there is nothing like getting on your computer to check something quickly to find the connection is gone. Holding the button for 8-10 secs on both adapters usually fixes the problem, but on occasion I have had to unplug them. There is definitely a lack of documentation. Holding the button on the adapter for 8 to 10 secs, does something completely different than if you hold it for about 20 secs, and there is no indication until you release the button as to what you have done.

Better as just a music and video player

Pros: - Screen and overall build quality is lovely. - Interface is minimalistic and easy to navigate (not to mention it provides a bio, pics, and related artist information)

Cons: - No dedicated volume button - The browser is pretty useless - Almost no apps available

Overall Review: If you are a Zune fan you know what you are getting into, and the Zune HD is no exception. Its main selling point is as a music playing and discovery device. The browser is not executed well, and there are not many apps. So for those who are looking into getting a device for mobile gaming, or browsing move on.
