For a similar price to 500 mbs speed powerline kits.

Seems like they are falsely named as Gigabit is not 600Mbps, not that any of these ever run at 1000Mbps!

I was happily running 200Mbps adapters but got a bit greedy & decided to try 500Mbps ones but they never seemed to work.
Moved to 600Mbps & they wouldn't work reliably either, so went back to my original 200Mbps & they work like a dream!
I can only conclude that some households can't cope with higher rated systems.
I found out the expensive way :smiley:

anyone using power line adapters please remove any surge protected power bars from your mains at any point because they hugely impact on the adapters that was likely your issue Hollywood

Fair point, hadn't spotted that, though was late at night, also wasn't looking for these as already have some which /i got for homeworking. Will amend the title.

I think you're misunderstanding what gigabit means in this case. The ethernet port is a gigabit port meaning it will reach 1000mbps while the connection over the electrics are limited to 600mbps.

Can anybody tell me what these actually do?

Let you use a wired internet connection in any room much better than wifi if you have a weak signal

what a lot of these companys quote as the "speed" is actually the combined available bandwidth, so these might have a maximum single speed of 300Mbps (minus overhead etc) and achievable speeds even less. ISTBC.

2 questions.
I'm on 200mbps fibre, what effects if any will I have if I use this over a 300mbps powerline
Can I plug a 4 socket extension plug and plug this in to one of the sockets or do I have to plug this directly in to the wall?

Dependent on the powerline it should serve you fine and you shouldn't receive any slowness.
if you plug it into the extension lead, your speed will be greatly reduced.
