D-Link's PowerLine Homeplug AV Passthrough Starter Kit consists of two adapters that use standard electrical wiring to create or extend a network.You can connect any device such as computers, routers, media players, gaming consoles or storage devices at speeds of up to 200 Mbps over electrical wires, making this medium ideal for streaming high quality HDTV signals and enjoying music and games anywhere in your house. Each adapter has an electrical socket built in, so you don't need to worry about running out of sockets!Advanced technology built into these adapters makes them more resistant to electrical interference from other household appliances, so users can fully benefit from the maximum transmission speeds.The adapters also include Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms to ensure a lag-free experience for delay-sensitive applications such as gaming or Internet TV.All that is required for set-up is pushing a button on the side of the device. This also ensures secure transmissions between PowerLine adapters. In addition, these adapters are among the first in their category to comply with the European Union directive for office and domestic devices (EuP): when idle, they enter a standby mode that requires less than 1 Watt.

I have a DLink DIR-655 wireless router in the front room of my 1920's house. Wireless transmission speeds were fine when close (downstairs or in the bedroom directly above), but anywhere else in the house speeds dropped to a snails pace, especially within my 2nd floor loft room. I though about running CAT5 ethernet cable throughout the house, but it would have been difficult to hide it and created a lot of mess. The only answer was to buy a homeplug/powerline, but which one????
In the end I opted for the DLink DHP-307AV/B kit. I had been pleased with my DLink router, so I thought I may as well stay brand loyal.
First impression were that these are pretty big, but made to a good quality using decent plastics. The passthrough power connector is great because it saves me having to plug it into a power strip (advised against for all homeplugs). Straight out of the box I plugged one in next to my router and the other next to my PC within the 2nd floor loft room. They autosynced immediately and I obtained a good 99Mbits download and 99Mbits upload whilst transferring files to/from my NAS drive (located next to my router). Where I used to get 2-4Mbits from wireless N, I now have 25-50x the speed. I have since ordered a third DLink powerline to install in my kids bedroon. They have also been using it happily for their PS3.
It seems that although these (and other) homeplugs quote 200Mbits max speed, they are limited by the 100Mbits physical ethernet port installed within them. 100Mbits is the most you can achieve from any such device which does not list a Gigabit Ethernet port as standard.
Overall, I am very very pleased with these devices.

My Broadband router is in my study and my main TV in the living room on the opposite side of the house. Not wishing to run an Ethernet cable between the rooms, I bought a D-Link Pass Through Homeplug Network Starter Kit, primarily to be able to access BBC iPlayer on my TV without connecting a laptop to the TV. I plugged in the two homeplugs, connected the Ethernet link cables provided and it worked immediately! No need to install the software provided!
An added bonus is that I can access on my Humax PVR all my pictures and music stored on a network drive connected to my router. So I can view my pictures on the large screen TV or listen to music over the surround sound system. The Pass Through vesion of the Homeplug was worth the extra cost as it meant I did not have to find spare power sockets.
This is an amazing product, allowing one to network via the mains circuit in the house and I would recommend it to anyone who has similar needs to mine.

We live in an old house and wireless coverage is very limited. Thanks to these adapters we can now access the internet all over the house. The ethernet cables supplied with the adapter are short and I couldn't get them to work with my Macbook: the solution to this was to buy a Duronic 3m Professional Gold Headed Network Cable for £3.50 (on Amazon). Now it works a treat.

good job, good value
I'm very pleased with this product and like the fact that it is pass through so you don't lose sockets. They're quite large but that doesn't matter as they're hidden from view. Read more
