    500Mbps Nano Powerline Adapter - these work well

    http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Produc...er/1397640.htm

    they're really good value, and fly fast!!

    Normally I run Cat5 but I thought I'd try them for the new Humax in the livingroom, because Cat5 would be a right faff.

    And they fly!

    Much smaller than normal ones? I don't recall my old ones being massive, although I'd like a smaller pass through option.

    I use these for my office actually and they are very good. I got them a while ago for less than that on the dabs ebay store IIRC.

    They didn't work very well for my dads place with pretty old wiring and I VERY occasionally have to power cycle them to get them to sync up, but overall i have been pleased with them.

    But what speed are you really getting? For starters those only have 100Mbps ethernet ports.

    I only get 35-40 Mbps through my 500 Mbps powerline adaptors - plenty for gaming and streaming, but they do bottleneck my internets.

    Honestly, never tested them. I don't do anything particularly bandwidth heavy in my office besides streaming from netflix/youtube/iplayer (which always works fine) so i never felt the need.

    I'm curious to find out if you can buy another pack and use them to connect up 4 devices to the same network?

    Yep, I've got this pack and a passthrough plug one on the same network, they all connect fine, so I see no reason you can't have more...

    That should work OK. I have the bigger TP-link ones, but have 4 of them on my network now. Recently bought another 2 as they were on offer at ebuyer, will be interesting to see if it all falls in a heap at 6

    I've got four of the pass-through version of these on my network, they work reliably & pretty speedily

    On speed test I get 54Mb on my PC on a 1 metre CAT 5

    and in my living room on the Homeplug I get 46Mb

    so that's pretty blumin fast!!

    This is weird, I actually just bought a pair of these from Scan on Friday and got them yesterday. They are a few pence cheaper with them and free next day delivery.

    Got them as I was sick of slow download speeds on my PS4 over WiFi. Just plugged them in, switched them on and off they went! Decent looking little units (not that I see them) and I'm now getting speeds of 11mb on the PS4 (my BB is only 16-17mb anyway). That is about 22 times better than I was getting over the wireless connection. Well worth £25!

    I had a pair of those, but they didn't play well with my Devolo set so I sold them - decent for the money though.
