D-Link DHP601AV
Get connected.
With two units in the one pack, the D-Link DHP-601AV is aimed at those wanting to create a high speed network, and is rated for 1000 Mbps, ideal for streaming media and large file copies. Each unit has a single Gigabit Ethernet port, and comes with cables. If you already own a D-Link PowerLine product such as the AV500, the faster model is fully backwards compatible. You can also add up to 16 of the adapters, for really big networks.
Setup is as easy as plugging them in and pressing the configure button. Handily for your power bill, and the environment, the adapters have a power saving mode which reduces consumption by up to 85%.
The D-Link units plug directly into the socket, have a slight spacer, and are fairly slim, so don’t block other ports. In testing they performed quite well, and we managed speeds of 168 / 162 Mbps, uploading and downloading data. The $120 price tag is also pretty good, all things considered.
