I've recently bought one of these kits. They're simple to install, but I've noticed the unit with 3 ports on it makes a constant high pitched whine or hum which unless you have the TV or radio on quite loud tends to get on your nerves after a while. I've got a support call in with Devolo to see if this is normal or not. The unit has several cooling vents, which I assume is to cool the unit as it has a built in switch, so maybe it's just the sound of all the electrics, all I can say is a couple of old D-Link units I had (that only had one port in each unit) were totally silent, so unless you don't mind the constant whining, you may want to consider something else. I'll update this if I get any joy from my support call to Devolo.
Update 1. Devolo have mailed me to say the humming is not normal, so I've ordered a replacement with Amazon, sadly a 1 - 3 week lead time now.
Update 2. A Few months on and the replacement has been working fine, so just one dodgy unit, speed and simplicity of installation is great!
Update 3. Its now October 2012, and the 3 port unit has now failed like others. The plug works so the fuse hasn't gone, but there's no lights on the networking part at all, so its going back to Amazon again....a shame that the hardware seems to be a bit flakey.
Update 4. November 2012. Amazon were kind enough to quickly send a replacement out again, and so far the new unit is working OK, but the long term life of these products remains a bit of a concern!

Unfortunately, the only way I could get any speed was to have the two units plugged into the same socket (447Mbit/s send and 553Mbit/s receive)
If I go one room away then it drops to 389Mbit/s send and 421Mbit/s receive
If I try upstairs to downstairs then it drops down to 150Mbit/s send and 114Mbit/s receive)
If I try upstairs to downstairs AND the front of house to the back of the house then I only get 40Mbit/s send and 73Mbit/s receive)
It's not as if I live in a mansion the total distance is only 20 meters - the extra cost for the extra speed seems to be a waste of money.

The convenience of having what is effectively a switch built in is very helpful as I use it to feed two computers and a net connected TV in the same room. Previously I had just the one computer that was connected using an AVplus 200 homeplug set and I was therefore looking forward to an increase in speed with the 500 model.
In practice, the speed, as logged by Devolo's own dLan Cockpit software, is actually no better and perhaps just a tad slower. No obvious reason why this should be the case as it is running over exactly the same linked sockets as before. Upgrading to the latest firmware made a small difference but still no better than the AVplus 200 and less than I'd hoped for. I know how sensitive these homeplugs can be. Another mains socket in the same room produces a much poorer result but I'd not expected any degredation on the same pathway. Maybe the inbuilt switch itself adds some level of interference with three devices attached.
It is still a very convenient way to add three devices on one socket and probably no more expensive than three separate AVplus 200 plugs but don't expect any dramatic speed improvements.

Not fit for purpose
Three big issues with the dLAN 500:
1. In my house, they are no faster than the dLAN 200 (Cockpit software actually seems to show they are often slower!!).

Worked fine then failed just outside the guarantee period
Shame - it was fine, very easy to install, no problems with speed but it has just failed (completely dead one morning, no obvious cause). I'll try once more....
