  • Easy setup, no need for drilling or wiring.
  • Not as fast as real Ethernet; blinking lights looks out of place in a home environment.
  • If you need your computer somewhere where your network doesn’t reach, the MicroLink adaptor is a great solution. Ethernet is undoubtedly better, especially if you need Gigabit Ethernet, but this solution is so much simpler. There’s no setup; y...

  • Wireless seems to have stolen all the headlines in home networking. But it has its drawbacks. Setting up a wireless network still isnt childs play, and real performance never lives up to the number written on the box - in fact, its not even close. H...

  • With its natty translucent blue casing, the MicroLink is more consumer friendly that ZyXEL's PL-200, though it's no easier - or harder - to use. A major benefit is the built-in power plug, allowing you to shove it in a mains socket and forget about it...

  • Abstract:  Wireless networking can be a pain to get working and, in some houses, plain impossible. Powerline networking, where you use your houses mains power cables for a network, is an attractive option. Previous kit weve reviewed has run at a paltry 14Mbi...

  • Abstract:  If your home is too large or the walls to thick for you to use Wi-Fi wireless networking, Devolos mains network kit is a good alternative Before the days of wireless networking the idea of a home network was a little bizarre. Who would go to all the...

  • Abstract:  Forget about network cables - this kit can transfer computer data around your home using just your mains sockets. To set up a network, you simply plug each of the two adaptors into sockets that are near your computers and then connect them to your PC...

  • This is the most straightforward networking equipment weve come across, using your existing electric cabling to create a simple home network. Although pricier and less flexible than Wi-Fi, what it lacks in power it more than makes up for in plug-and-g...
