Customer Reviews

So simple.
I bought this recently and its really made my network easier - simply plugged the homeplugs into the mains and it worked.

Although it doesnt mention it in the product description this pack comes with 2 ethernet cables, so you dont even need to buy those. There was some software with it as well but it worked without so I didnt use it.

I was a little apprehensive about buying this set as I hadnt heard of the brand and they look fairly generic; but they have worked perfectly so far. Overall an excellent way of extending a network if you dont want to/cant use wireless.

Simple and very effective
I have tried several flavours of wireless (currently on "g" MIMO) and always have problems with data transfer rates and occasional drop outs. Regardless of what manufacturers tell you, in a house in an urban environment where there is a lot of other electro-magnetic interference wireless simply does not perform well. I was very frustrated by this and didn't want the expense of running Cat 5 cable throughout the house. Then I spotted these plugs. I must admit that I was initially sceptical but at under £50 a pair I decided to try them. Never has an installation been so simple. I ran a cable (it comes with 2 cables) from my router into the plug and then ran another cable from the other plug to my computer. The router is upstairs and the computer is downstairs and it worked first time...simple!!! The application that comes with it tells you what speed you're actually getting. Mine runs at 65Mbps on average but that is with both plugs plugged into plug boards which is something the manufacturers don't recommend for reasons of interference. It feels a lot faster than my 54Mbps MIMO wireless connection and is totally stable and lightening fast to connect on start up. These do exactly what they should with the minimum of fuss. You won't be disappointed.

connect 2 plugs and 2 cables and it works straight away
I just connected the cables and plugs and the internet worked straight off. I also had instand access to my Network storage terrastations and shared folder on my other pc. After years of struggling with wireless this was breathtaking. No wier technogeek settings to play with, no hours of trying differnt things. I wish I had known about this 3 years ago.

They say dont connect through an extension cable but I had no trouble with a cheap 4x adaptor on a 1m cable. I did make sure it had no surge protection first.
