I've been looking for some new powerline plugs that are gigabit, and found these this morning. Look a good deal to me.......
D-Link's DHP-601AV PowerLine AV2 1000 Gigabit Starter kit makes it easy to create a high-speed network at speeds of up to 1000Mbps1. The kit includes two DHP-600AV PowerLine AV2 1000 Gigabit Adapters - Simply plug one adapter into your existing router to turn any power outlet in your home into an Internet connection and then plug the other adapter into the room you want to extend your connection to.

I love that rivals TP-Link advertise 500Mbps Nano adaptors and dual link adaptors that might be able to achieve speeds above 100Mbps, but it doesn't matter since the ethernet at both ends is 100Mbps! WTF?
Anyway, these are using Gigabit Ethernet connectors so no bottleneck - heat!

A new a Gigabit one with at least 2 Ethernet sockets on the far end and WAP mode to extend my Wi-fi network. Any advise?
Thanks

Are you happy to use a switch to get more ports or does it have to be 2 ports embedded?
Cheapest option seems to be the plugs from this deal, connected via an Ethernet cable to a wireless extender that can act as a router/AP.
...but then it's one port instead of two. Plus they cost more than the OP's deal with a wireless access point via short Ethernet cable to the neighbouring powerline adaptor. (Have them both next to each other and the only cable you see is a short Ethernet. Besides which, wouldn't you have cables coming from the two ports of the powerline gigabit Ethernet's anyway?)
So thus not as cheap as this deal??? I could do a lot with that pound!!! I could buy a couple of Mars Bars, or a couple of newspapers. I could even leave it in a Tesco trolley by accident or lose it down the back of the sofa!! I'd still feel better for saving that pound though!! :smiley:

Forgive me if I'm missing something but those are not WiFi capable plugs.

The point is that quite a few people on this site comment about Ebuyer and the comments tend to be mixed at best. So some people will prefer to use Amazon especially as it is only one pound more. I will make it clear next time

Not to mention some people might be Amazon Prime members and thus would get their deliveries next day, which for only an £1 I'm sure people would be happy with. Though I personally have never had any issues with Ebuyer Customer Service, I've found them to be professional and helpful and I've been a customer of theirs for almost 10 years.
