Reviews of the Netgear Powerline HD Ethernet Adapter (2-Pack)
-
CNET Review
The Good: The Netgear Powerline HD Ethernet Adapters are simple to set up and configure, and the fast throughput will let you stream HD video without a hitch. And you can use a switch with the adapters, which means you network multiple devices off a single adapter.
The Bad: The adapters are rather expensive, and you're hardly cutting cords by using wired adapters. Phone support for anything more complicated than basic installation is expensive.
The Bottom Line: Simple to set up and able to provide ample throughput, Netgear's Powerline HD Ethernet Adapters are a great solution for anyone who wants the benefits of home networking but doesn't want to rewire the entire house or mess with Wi-Fi. Be forewarned, though: it's not an inexpensive solution.
