CNET Review
The Good: The Zyxel PL-100 Powerline Ethernet Adapters are exceptionally easy to install, they provide a secure network, and they're priced lower than competing adapters.
The Bad: The Zyxel PL-100 adapters offer slower throughput than competing products and, like any power-line adapter, you must deal with Ethernet and power cords with each networked device.
The Bottom Line: If you like cheap-and-easy networking, Zyxel PL-100 HomePlug Turbo Powerline Ethernet Adapters are a no-brainer for a variety of home network scenarios.
