Re: Reviews - Powerline networking - can it deliver?
One thing you didn't mention is power consumption. I have a pair of Zyxels (slightly different model with a plug-and-cable going to a separate box, rather than a box that plugs straight into the socket) and they get stupidly hot - enough to be uncomfortable to touch. If you leave these things plugged in all day long I shudder to think how much power they're burning even when nothing is being transferred.
It's not just Zyxels either, I had some other-brand 14Mbps ones a couple of years ago and they were just as hot.
