Works a treat,
Bought these to connect my Humax HDR Fox-T2 (the HD freeview one) to my modem router so that I could get iPlayer etc. on my Samsung 46″ TV. Talk about ‘plug and play’ (pun intended). Out of the box, into the mains socket, connect ethernet cables and “Hey Presto” – immediate, trouble free connection. Simple.

|very pleased,
Having suffered with unexplained wireless networking dropouts on my Mac ever since upgrading to OS X 10.6.5 (and subsequent versions) and being unable to run Ethernet cable upstairs without substantial mess or expense, powerline adaptors seemed like the only option – and I have to say they work really well.
Borrowed a set off of a friend first just to check they would work OK (both sockets have to be on the same electrical circuit I think) then decided on purchasing these.
Set up is ridiculously easy – really is a case of just plug in and go.
Only thing is that the network cables that come with it are not long so if your computer is a distance from the socket you’ll need to get your own network cable.
Haven’t managed to test what actual network speeds I’m getting as most of the testing tools I can find are windows-only; but it’s certainly faster than WiFi as I’m able to back up my mac to a network drive in considerably less time than it took over WiFi.
BTW – the ‘installation CD’ that comes with the product just contains the manual as a PDF! And unless you’re planning to add extra adaptors to the network you shouldn’t need to refer to this.
Definitely recommended if you’re either having WiFi connectivity issues or just unhappy with the relatively slow speeds of WiFi.

|Really Really technical review!!!,
You put one plug into one plug socket
Connect vie cable to router modem (that’s the box that connects you to the internet)
Plug the other into another plug socket near the device (computer/TV/Games console) and do the same as above, and et voila you have a hard-wire connection.
It really is that simple.
I was struggling for months with a weak WI-fi signal as we live in an old house with thick walls, and the connection did work then for some reason didn’t, then was intermittent so thought (with a lot of skepticism I admit) to trying these, was up and running with in about 2 minutes (I had to walk up some steps
.
If you have a sketchy connection, I would defiantly recommend this, may seem expensive for what is essentially two plugs with an Ethernet cable, but it is probably only akin to getting a new decent modem and trying that. Don’t bother just buy these as they really do work
