Product Description
Solwise Description: Solwise 1000Mbps Mediaxtream / HomePlug AV Ethernet Adapter - NET-PL-1000M-TWIN. A twin pack of our latest, fastest and smartest powerline technology offers super-high-speed connections for your internet-gateway, game console, media player, PC and IPTV set-top box in seconds. Data is carried over your existing mains circuit - without any extra wiring, cabling or messy installation. Powered by Gigle's MediaXtream chip, data capacity approaching 1000 megabits- per-second provides stable streaming of IPTV, movie and gaming content between multiple users and across various devices with minimum lag. In addition, the PL-1000M is compatible with the HomePlug AV specification (version 1.1) and is fully inter-operable 200Mbps HomePlug AV products. The MediaXtream system also supports meshing technology. This enables intermediate devices to act as stepping stones where distance or signal degradation might otherwise make a powerline data path impossible. Key Features: 1. Backbone capacity up to 200 Mbps with HomePlugAV devices. 2. Backbone capacity up to 882 Mbps between MediaXtream devices. 3. Switch Mode Power Supply for world-wide compatibility (100-240V). 4. 128-bit AES Encryption with one-touch security configuration. 5. Ideal for HD/SD Video Streaming, Voice over IP calls and Online games. 6. Meshing capability for difficult environments. 7. Simple connections and controls. You will require at least two to create your network. These GIG products will talk to AV products so long as they are on version 3 firmware or newer.

Set-up is simple. Once plugged in, pressing a small button on each in succession establishes a 128-bit AES encrypted connection -- and that's it. The GGL51 chipset actually uses two simultaneous channels -- one the proprietary MediaXtream standard for 1Gbit/s connections and one HomePlug AV for backward compatibility with 200Mbit/s adapters allowing you to mix and match.
If your mains ring's wiring is up to it, the NET-PL-1000M will be much faster than previously available kit, but it still won't match Gigabit Ethernet performance. Those putting together a new Powerline network, should certainly give it a go if it's all on a single floor (I've heard mixed results when working acorss different floors/rings). My two plugs are on the same ring but different floors and I frequently get a blue light indicating >100mbps speeds.
All my hd movies stream without buffering and performance is fast. Instructions are a somewhat minimalist afair but theres not really much to know. There is some software included, mainly for upgrading firmware. No monitoring software is included which is a shame.
Currently if buying a pair of homeplugs give these a punt. I cannot recommend solwise highly enough having owned a previous old apir of homeplugs. A cracking price on the twin pack in comparison to similar branded plugs, especially as these use the same chips as belkin etc. A nice touch was a free delivery voucher with the delivery note and a 10% off voucher, both for a future order.
Update: Nov 11, been using these plugs for a while now and with the price drop they are a right steal. Updated their firmware using the software and firmware form solwises's site and I ahve noticed a big improvement int heir performance. They now maintain a blue light (>100mbps connection) almost all the time. Very happy with these and would buy again.

I bought a couple of these to avoid having to run network cables through my house. The house is ten years old, so the wiring should be decent and it appears that it is. I plugged one unit into the mains downstairs, where I connected it to my router. I plugged the other unit into an eight way adapter in an upstairs room, although they recommend plugging them directly into wall sockets. I connected this unit to my desktop PC. Then I pressed the synchronisation button on each unit, they connected and that was all I needed to do.
They work just like having a cable straight from the router to the PC. The only software is a utility you can use to upgrade the firmware on the units, but there was no need to actually do this.
The only negatives of this solution are that they use power all the time, have multiple flashing lights on them and I can hear them. They emit a very high pitched whine, like a charging camera flash. My wife can't hear it at all, so I guess it depends on how good the range of your hearing is.
All these problems are easily solved by turning them off when not in use. When you turn the power back on they seem happy to reconnect and work without any other input.
Overall, I'm very pleased with them.

I have been using the 85 Mbps units for years without problems. I decided to upgrade my network and swap them for these 1 Gbps units. They just don't work in my house.
The problem is you won't know if they work or not until you try them. Even if previous, slower speed, models worked there is no guarantee these will.
If they had worked for me I'm sure I'd be giving them 5 stars.
