| Review Summary | The PLUSB10 is a good choice for connecting to a power-line network through a USB connection, but its bulk can make it difficult to plug into outlets in tight spaces. | The Netgear XE102 is one of the most compact power-line Ethernet bridges on the market, making it ideal for outlets in cramped corners or along baseboards. | Gateway's power-line adapter is well suited for networking in homes or small offices. | The XE602 is a flexible choice for home users without Ethernet or phone wiring in every room. | The Zyxel PLA-400 is a compelling alternative to a wireless home network, but the competition offers faster throughput for about the same price. |
