TP-LINK's Powerline adapter TL-PA211 takes advantage of your homes existing electric wires to transfer data while transferring traditional power. That means, with no additional wiring required, users can simply plug the TL-PA211 into existing power sockets and establish networking infrastructure in a flash. With high-speed data transfer rates of up to 200Mbps, you can enjoy HD video streaming, online gaming, VoIP or any other high bandwidth intensive tasks all at the same time now.
Super Small Design
With the new ultra-compact housing design, TP-LINK TL-PA211 is much smaller than most other 200Mbps Powerline Products. At just 30mm thick and with its high quality, elegant white shell, it almost blends in completely in front of any power outlet and additionally can be placed anywhere in the room.
Up to 200Mbps, 300 Meters
With advanced HomePlug AV technology, TL-PA211 provides you stable, high-speed data transfer rate up to 200Mbps on a line length up to 300 meters. Together with the built-in Qos and powerful AES encryption, TL-PA211 is such a good choice for a whole home solution to connect all network compatible devices--from computers and game consoles to set-top boxes for IPTV to printers and NAS hard drives--and supplies them with broadband Internet.
The PLC connection is transmitting the data through the electric wire between two outlets, so it at least requires two PLC adapters plugged into the outlet to transform the data streaming. With twin pack design, the starter kit ensures to establish a Powerline network for the first time.
Power Saving Up to 65%
The TL-PA211, a new-generation Powerline Adapter, with its logical practical product designs and sophisticated Power-Saving Mode, it now consumes less power when compared with existing Powerline Adapters. When there is no data transmission or reception occurs over a certain period of time, it will automatically switch from its regular Working Mode to Power-Saving Mode that will reduce the energy consumption by up to 65%*.

Thanks for your post - I have updated your op and link should be working now
The deal made itself from a link on the 7Dayshop webpage, wouldn't let me edit the direct link

Anyone know if i could mix this with a different branded 85mps plug?

I asked that question before and was told no, not backwards compatable with different transfer rates, could be wrong though

no - 85's and 200's cannot interact on the same network
BUT- you can set up any number of 85's (2+) and any number of 200's (2+) on the same mains ring - creating 2 separate networks where the 85's "see" the 85" and the 200's "see" the other 200's - but different speed plugs wont "see" each other on the same mains ring (or network)

Great deal
I wonder if someone could answer a couple of queries I have on this subject?
1. I currently have a pair of Extra Value 200Mbps adaptors, has anyone actually got experience of running mixed brands of these. I have heard people say it should be possible but no conformations.
2. I have 4 components (TV, wii, media player & Blu ray) around the TV that I would like to link up to my router in another room (powerline adaptor already connected) . I would only utilise 1 connection at a time. Would the best approach be to get a single powerline adaptor and attach that to a separate 4/5 way router or is there an alternative.

What you need is a switch. Plenty of cheap ones on eBay or tech websites like ebuyer, scan, etc
I don't know a lot of about mixing homeplugs but I do know that all aren't comaptible with each other as different manufacturers use different specifications. There's currently no industry standard like there is for wifi devices.

Hi, I've read the description and I'm still not sure. Seen them come up before but don't want to waste money on something that won't really benefit me. Can I just plug one of these in to get a more even broadband speed for playing online games?

I have noticed the gaming on my asus 200mbps adapters to be more consistant but not vastly improved - with the wireless connection I WILL have more stutters than with the adapters but the overall performance for the most part stays the same - the main benefit is a guaranteed connection at all times and a better performance at a greater distance from the router.
From what I have read most of the 200mbps adapters should be compatable but the BT/Comtrend adapters are not

These do not impact your broadband speed, but allow you to make a wired connection from your router to your console (or other equiptment) by utilising your in house eletrical wiring rather than running a network cable. You have an adaptor at each end and a network cable from the adaptor to your equiptment. A wired connection will usually be faster and more stable than wireless so yes would improve gameplay but not beyond the your original broadband capabilities
