The product description talks about MIMO and beam forming. Is that not terminology usually associated with WiFi. Does this product also have some sort of WiFi capability?

Think of these as WiFi repeaters, the powerline collects the connection from the unit near router, transmits it over the house wiring to where ever you place the other unit, then broadcasts it as Wifi, or you can physically connect an ethernet cable.
This is not only a great deal, but a great idea, as it doesnt waste sockets.

This is a good price for these, but also slightly misleading by advertising them as 2000mbps. It's essentially two gigabit ports. most people use these to connect to a single device or more than 2 via a switch, so not sure on the real term perks of this. However, if you only have 2 things to connect and within reach then it's obviously a really good deal.
one thing I've been wondering is as one needs to connect to you router, which will usually only output gigabit via an ethernet port, can you actually connect two router ports to the two sockets to get the 2000mbps anyway?

Personally I'm not convinced. There's another deal going for a pair of Netgear Gigabit ones at Maplins for £25. They're not pass through which would be nice to have, but those certainly feel like much better value for money (better bargain).

2,000Mbps will never happen in real-world usage, it's basically just a maximum potential that the two devices could communicate at. That said, it's worth paying for the fastest ones you can afford as you should get better speeds from them regardless.

I'd like to find if anybody has done tests like this. I've got 60Mb/s internet and I get 95% of the speed I'd get at the router on my powerline adapter upstairs using a 200Mb/s TP-Link pair. Does not seem bandwidth starved in the least. Excellent latency as well.
