Suitable for networking all Ethernet enabled devices, it is an ideal solution for connecting your wireless-enabled devices to your Home Broadband Router - and enabling them to connect to the Internet.
The plug through socket enables you to retain a power socket at the wall - and the device contains a passthrough filter, further to improve the powerline performance.
Key Features:
- HomePlug AV compatible
- Mains pass-through on both adaptors
- 200Mbps
- 3 status LEDs
- Reset and link buttons
- One 10/100 Ethernet connector

I have about 8 home plug adapters in use and they're fine. Used for connecting 3 PCs, xbox, PS4, Sky, TV, TV, TV, all at the same time and all work with no trouble. I'm using a mix of manufacturers and they seem perfectly happy together.

Thanks - been after a pair with mains passthrough (never enough sockets in the house) - these fit the bill perfectly, ordered :smiley:

What is meant by 'mains pass through on both adapters'?

I assume it means that they have a power socket on the front of each of them so that it doesn't waste a wall socket when you plug it in as you can still plug an electrical device into the front of the socket (power passes from the wall socket through it to whatever device you have plugged in).

Most powerlines use up a socket - these allow you to plug other things into them

Means you don't lose a socket when you plug these in, or something else requiring power can be plugged in to them. I have a set of these linking two routers with no issues.

I'm always confused regarding speeds with powerlines - any idea what speed i could expect to receive from a pc plugged into this via Ethernet around 4-5 metres from the hub in a different room. i get around 40mbps directly from the router?
I want to be able to stream HD so wonder if this would do the trick or would i most likely require at least a 500mbps powerline?

I'm not sure if this helps as it'll depend on the quality of your internal wiring....
I have a 100Mbps broadband connection (theoretical). With a cat 5 cable directly from my laptop to my router I get around 90-95Mbps.
Using 500Mbps powerlines I get around 80Mbps. When I originally bought cheaper 200Mbps powerlines I was getting around 38Mbps.

I have a load of 200mbps connectors and the PCs connected to these get reported downloads speeds of 45+ Mbps when using broadband speed checker - which is the same speed my PC reports when it is connected direct to my BT Router, so these are plenty fast enough for most usage.

yes that is a great help thanks - think will stick with original plan to get 500mbps one to be on the safe side
