Reviews of the Zyxel Home Plug Powerline Ethernet Adapter (200 Mbps)

  • 7.0

    CNET Review

    February 7, 2007

    The Good: Dead easy to setup and maintain; 128-bit AES encryption; utility offers security features, such as password protection; QoS for latency-sensitive applications; generous warranty period.

    The Bad: Pricey; slower throughput than the competition.

    The Bottom Line: The Zyxel PLA-400 is a compelling alternative to a wireless home network, but the competition offers faster throughput for about the same price.
