Reviews of the Linksys PLE200 PowerLine AV Ethernet Adapter
-
CNET Review
The Good: Easy to set up and maintain; fast throughput; 128-bit encryption; 24-7 phone support.
The Bad: Pricy compared to setting up a wireless network; adapters are a bit bulky and may block adjacent outlets.
The Bottom Line: The Linksys PLK200 Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter Kit is one of the easiest ways to set up and maintain a home network that's fast enough to stream HD video content, but it's a bit of a strain on the pocketbook.
