Looks like a great deal for 1000Mbps / Gigabit powerline adapters starter kit. Not sure how good they are but compared to other pricey ones, I think these look better.

Reviews are average/ok. Go for the zyxel 1000 pla5206, deal still live on box.co.uk which are better.

got to ask anyone out there - my pass through talktalk powerline adaptors (think that's the right description) keep needing to be synced what's the best equivalent

I have both TP-link and D-Link powerline adapters connected in my house 5 in total - all work really well for me. Only 1 is connected directly to my router, and the other 4 connect (2 of each) quite happily connect in....so you don't need to be brand loyal on these things. I've had them for probably up to 2 years now, no problem at all. Even got my retired Mom to use a pair in her house .....she's forever switching them off to save power etc - but they still switch back on and just work. I used to have wifi extenders before which were nothing but hassle, these work great - a good price too - though you can sometimes get them cheap on eBay.

How easy is it to pair adapters from different manufacturers?

I had no trouble with Devolo and Netgear but I had no end of pain when I tried TP-Link with either of them. YMMV

Got 3 of these up and running. Been rock solid. Unlike the TP link ones they replaced which forever needed resetting.

these are just wired.
You can get different ones that have wifi built in too.
OR
to add wifi in the farthest reaches of your house, you can wire a wifi router into the powerline and just set it up from there........watch out for DHCP from there though, can be done be but requires a bit more IT know how.
I have both options - the built in option is much easier of course.
Beats extended wifi hands down, in terms of reliability and speed.

I've not had a problem myself......you only need to pair them if you want them encrypted.......easiest thing is never to encrypt them in the 1st place. For me encrypting / pairing them next to the router's powerline plug has worked 100% no problem.
