ZyXEL Home Plug Powerline Ethernet Adapter (200 Mbps)

By (cnet.com)

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.

Pricey; slower throughput than the competition.

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

By thetaz (newegg.com)

I have struggled to get a large enough pipe down a dedicated 802.11g wireless connection to support the HDTV stream on the xbox 360 extender. I was getting connection slowdowns/sluggish menus until I switched to this solution. Network tuning shows fully g...

Allows a large bandwidth pipe between rooms where it was not possible/easy to wire ethernet through a finished home. I have successfully deployed it with 2 of these units. I'm using it to stream HDTV from a Vista Premium Media Center machine located upsta...

As other reviewers have mentioned, the unit does get a little warm...I don't know if I would leave it sitting on carpet.

Easy

By rollly (newegg.com)

Working good with 3 PLA-400s, and one ZyXEL NBG-318S.

Easy to use. One power connector, one ethernet port.

Getting the utilities to work with it wasn't straightforward. Not as fast as I'd hoped (for example 3.3Mbps transfer).
