Price reduced by quite a bit, from ~£68ish to £45. Unlike most others, this has a gigabit port, which you can only get on more expensive adapters. This also has a pass through so you're not wasting a socket.
Only downside is no built in WiFi, but honestly, at this price, it's a steal (I have a spare ac router anyway).
I really couldn't use most adapters because they only have 100mb ports and I have VIVID so they weren't much use.
happy deal hunting!
edit: Apparently it has MIMO according to deanos, allowing signals to travel further.

Nope, it uses all 3 pins older ones only use 2 pins, called AV2 MIMO
FWIW I've just got a set of the dlink av2 1000s which were a bit cheaper but no pass through. Only had the a week but seem rock solid so far. Unlike the tp link ones they replaced which were truly awful

Weird!
I'm very happy with my TP-Link AV1200 pass throughs that were on sale at Argos £35.99 back in July.
Were yours very cheap, factory qc fail perhaps?
indeed it has, probably an anomaly considering it consistently drops to £45ish quid every now and then

Wish it was av2000

Just be aware that these have the new technology MIMO so will travel further distances when comparing with others which will probably be on the older technology
