Belkin Powerline AV Starter Kit review

Simple networking without the wires

9/10

The good: Good range, good signal strength
The bad: Terminals are rather bulky
Verdict: Easy to install and setup, Powerline is ideal for anyone who doesn't want to install Wi-Fi in their home

What about the throughput? what speeds did you get in the real world? Posted by Rich C, UK

This reveiw is confusing and misleading. The pictutre showing is for the Belkin Powerline AV + Networking Adapter 200 Mbps (F5D4075UK) model with one adapter having three ethernet outlets.. This is the latest model.

The list and linked prices are for the Belkin Powerline AV Networking Adapter 200 Mbps (F5D4074UK) model - only one ethernet connection each end.

The comparison section below show thew older Belkin Powerline AV Networking Adapter 200 Mbps (F5D4072UK) squarer model with only one connection. This is being discontinued, but is not a similar item and is generally out of stock.

The new 3 E connection model F5D4075UK does not come up at all on MSN UK search. But only 4 sites, all Belkin.com come up on a Google search and all state coming soon at 7th April 2009. This article was written on the 4th September 2008!
