Rotten reviews -- and why do all the photos look like non-US power plugs?

That said -- the technology itself is interesting, and I've been using one of the 85Mb/s pairs for quite a while with no problems at all.


These things are wonderful - I have 2 pairs in my house. And it is so much better than having wires throughout the house.

It just works, which is always great to have.


It works, however, the implementation is bad as it has to be plugged in directly to the wall.It is a real bummer when one has to plug 2 things into the socket and the powerline adapter is blocking the second plug. I had to get an extension cord.

If you plug this into the top of the outlets, and the plug upside down, it will not block the other one.


Tip: If you plug into a receptacle on the same circuit, this thing is great. However, if it is not on the same circuit, result vary greatly.

I learned the hardway. Got 85Mbs in the same room, same cicuit, but got 5 Mbs in another room different circuit.
