Works really well

ZyXEL PLA4205KIT 500 Mbps Gigabit Powerline Wall-Plug Adapter Starter Kit

Pros: Fast No problems with interference. Beats the heck out of a wifi repeater.

Cons: Setup was more difficult than you'd think

Overall Review: We love our powerline. In the past we had a wireless repeater (using dd-wrt) and the second router lost more than half of the speed. We bought the 85Mbps speed at first but then realized that the max speed at the second was about 10Mbps when the isp speed was 40Mbps-ish. So newegg took back that set and we bought this one (500Mbps rated). Now the speeds are in the 30Mbps range in the other rooms. Yay!! Setup was not well documented. The way we set it up was the modem went into the router and then the router went into the powerline module and then in another location the powerline module went into a router. The second router was setup as an AP.
