Happens all the time with things like this. I posted up a Wireless AC USB stick a while ago, and someone bought all of them. Once the deal is gone they can be sold on for a tenner or so more than the deal price.
I remember seeing a router once which looked cheap, I did a quick google search to make sure it was actually a deal, checked out it specs and thought yeah I'll take one but was too slow.
Anyway I managed to get 1 of these so hot while it lasts.

Even worse a quick look over those purchases and that buyer has actually bought 100 of them.

Any cheap gigabit powerlines with a passthrough?
Will probably use these wih a switch, its cheaper than powerlines
Still available through amazon warehouse and you get 20% off plus got two ports!

How do you not see the irony in your reply?

I believe that these items are Homeplug AV as opposed to Homeplug AV2. In cases that is important to you.

Whats the difference? Is the throughput still around 1Gigabit?

Are they? Says £44.55 to me. Annoyed as needed some new ones after my Zyxel ones started dropping packets and brought some D-Link ones from Amazon for £30

Ok if I have my home hub downstairs and I want wired devices upstairs, could I connected this to a switch/hub and connected my consoles and how much loss of speed do you usually experience?
The listing ended in #19 has ended but same item is being sold for £14.99 with free delivery from other sellers.
Picked up a couple. Seems identical to product in OP and £10 cheaper.
This is the same seller who suddenly found loads more a couple of hours ago

Seller has no selling history for over a year. Looks like a compromised account.

I have done the same. I noticed the previous listing ended then I just did a search and found that the same seller has listed it again. So I ordered it but he's still not accepted payment and its been like over 2 hours since I ordered.
I still have the other order with currys placed too, not cancelled it yet just incase this other one doesn't go through.

not very good reviews on Amazon, though good deal for the price..

which listing were you looking at?
I found great reviews for this. The only critical review I seen of this was that someone mentioned the wifi cuts out sometimes. Then again that issue prob may have been or will be resolved in an a new fw update. The ethernet works great on it.
Netgear make some good stuff, these should be well better than the crappy free power lines that I've got just now.

I regret cancelling my order from Currys now.
I have an order placed with that other seller on ebay for 14.99 and no response or dispatch. Looks like I wont get that as prob a compromised account as mentioned on here :disappointed:

Just arrived, plug and play other than securing the network (less than a minute holding a button on each).
Can't do a full gigabit benchmark yet as the device I'm using it on has a 100mbit port. Hovers between 8-10 megabytes a second. Not quite as steady as a regular wired connection. I'll need to test it further with a gigabit connection.

About 2 Minutes 30 to transfer a 1.47GB audio file to my WD MyCloud, works out around 12MB/s. Not too shabby.
Internet connection is solid, getting 36/9 from Sky Fibre, which is much better than the intermittent 14/9 the Sky Q Hub's WiFi was giving me.
