Digital camera reviews of Cisco-Linksys PLK200 Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter Kit
Digital camera Review: Linksys PLK200 Powerline Ethernet Adapter - works Great
Summary: 4 Stars
Setting up the two AV Powerline Ethernet adapters onto our home network was easy. The quickstart instructions were easy to follow to do the initial setup.
Our initial application was to connect one of the adapters to our main LAN hub in our home office "computer-room" and connecting the other adapter in our home-theater/game-room. Currently we connected our new Wii to the Ethernet adapter. The Wii is now able to download upgrades and access the Internet at 100 Mb/s.
I am now looking more closely at the adapter configuration software that was download onto one of our PCs during the installation process. I want to ensure that all the appropriate security measures are setup and it place. The software is having a little problem displaying perfectly on our Win2K system but not enough to prevent getting things setup as appropriate.
So if you need to extend your home network into other rooms of your house but still want/need a "wired" LAN solution, these AV Powerline Ethernet Adapters seem to work just fine providing LAN through the house AC wiring. We will be purchasing additional adapters to outfit other rooms in our house in the near future.

I have purchased 2 of these kits and they work very well in my house. While they will not replace hardwired CAT5 cabling, they do work well. One of the Powerline connections is to my Slingbox Pro and I can watch tv on my PC without dropping any data from the Slingbox.Digital camera Review: Linksys PowerLine Ethernet Adapter - NO PROBLEMS
Summary: 5 Stars
Purchased about a month ago. Configured very easily. Better throughput than 802.11 wireless. No dropouts like wireless sometimes experiences either. No problems so far -- been stable and reliable. You can watch the "throughput" speed via monitor, which is also nice. I'll buy more of this product if/when I need them.Digital camera Review: Minimal technical experience required

It was a little harder to setup then I expected, but I was up pretty quickly. I may add some more of these as time goes on.Digital camera Review: Not cheap, but effective!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I spent many an hour trying to configure a wireless connection to a somewhat vintage Apple G4. I wish that I'd just started with this powerline product - the connection was easy to establish, as fast as it needs to be, and always on. No more futzing with problematic wireless hardware/software issues... we'll still use our wireless network for laptops etc., but for desktops in inconvenient locations I'm more than happy with the PLK200
