Incorrect. It has a 100Mbps port and claims 600Mbps throughput. Don't comment if you have no idea what you're talking about. It misleads people.

100mbit port. Branding has up to 600mbit link ... Except you could only ever use 100mbit of it. Hate advertising like this

Emperical observation. I have my fibre connection delivering 38 MB/sec at my router and use these Adapters to connect most of my equipment. Speed test show I receive 37.5 MB/sec at the end of the Powerline hook-up. If I use WiFi directly from the router I achieve 36 MB/sec. The Powerline adapters also deliver a more stable connection.

Wat? You're using mbps and mb/s for megabits per second and megabytes per second respectively in a confusing way
Please use MB for megabytes, and mb or Mb for megabits so it's clearer what you're talking about

It's not different to internet speeds, for instance 70mbps is 7.4 mb/s
Yes it s a 100 mbs port but they're quoting 600mpbs as the rates bandwidth which actually a 100mb switch can use that full bandwidth
Also you have to remember you can use 4 plugs sharing that 600mbps bandwidth

I agree. They say these plugs can handle 200/500/600 but the ethernet port can only handle 100mbits. I've not come across any powerline adapters with a gigabit port.

There are many adapters with a Gigabit Ethernet port, but they do cost a little bit more.
The advantage of these is that you can use them in a 500Mbit/s system without bringing the whole system speed down. If you don't have another adapter with a gigabit port, these are a bit useless. At least in my experience, Fast Ethernet should be enough for streaming, but you could go with the cheaper 200Mbit/s system.

I have one of these (paid £19 3 months ago) and have to say I wish I had gone for a faster one and preferably one with a gigabit port. It works, but I do see a few disconnects and slowdowns when watching a 1080p stream and copying files to/from my home server.

Might seem a silly question but could I plug this into an extension lead/cable to improve signal in my garden? Or could it plug into garage plug socket and work??

It doesn't have a wifi transmitter on the exit plug, so it won't help extending your wifi on it's own.
It *might* work out in your garage. But it'll have to be on the same power ring as your house to do so. And then it depends on the length of the run and quality of the cabling as to how good a (wired) signal you'd get at the exit point.
I run the older AV500 version in my flat. It's on an 4-gang extension at the entry point. And an 8 way, surge protected, extension at the other end. Works surprisingly well through both extenders. I get about 60% of my full internet speed through it in this configuration.

Depends on your luck (and probably wiring), really.
I have a variation of this model with the Gb ports.
I have the SOURCE plugged into an unfiltered extension lead, a mains RECEIVER plugged into the wall in the living room and a paired WiFi unit plugged into the shed so I have Wireless outside.. Seems to work OK.
Granted, I'm not streaming HD or anything, but...
Your mileage may vary.

I have used it through an extension lead and haven't had issues.

Read some negative reviews about powerline adapters, but they do the job perfectly for me in my house!!
HOT DEAL!!

Yep it depends if your house has multiple ring mains/consumer units. If both sockets are on the same one then you should be fine. Otherwise speeds will be hit hard!

If one only uses 2 of these in a home network, paired up, is there any point of the 600mbits transfer? Or is it useless, since end to end is just 100mbits max?
Am i correct in thinking that, the 600mbits is only useful if you have multiple of these, all doing cross transfers with each other? But a pair is just maxed out at 100mbits?

Correct. But these aren't much more expensive than 200/500 mb homeplugs and if you add more plugs later you may be glad of the extra bandwidth.
