  • Netgear’s Powerline AV 500 Adapter Kit uses your home’s existing electrical cabling to bring wired Gigabit Ethernet networking to any room in the house. Throughput speed is significantly better than what you get with Wi-Fi but the adapters tend to run...

  • Fast; well made; handy software utility,
  • Quite wide; small status lights; short network cables supplied,
  • One of the fastest powerline networking adapters we've seen, and it is well-suited to video streaming or connecting network hard disks ...

  • Not surprisingly, these adapters don't reach the headline speeds for real data throughput, but they come close to equalling the 100Mbit/s speed of standard Ethernet connections. They are very well put together, affordable - and the useful software is t...

  • Débits maximum très élevés dans de bonnes conditions, Rétrocompatibilité assurée avec les adaptateurs 200 Mbps, Produit "green"
  • Sensibles aux perturbations électriques : le débit peut chuter, Selon les situations, le débit est équivalent aux 200 Mbps, Modèle bloc : on préfère ceux quis ont équipés d'une prise électrique femelle
  • On reste un peu sur notre faim avec des adaptateurs CPL qui nécessitent des conditions optimales pour réellement s'exprimer. On se rassure - un peu - en se disant qu'au pire des cas, ils feront aussi bien que l'ancienne génération....

  • Die neuen Adapter erreichen zwar nicht die versprochenen 500Mbit/s. Aber es sind im Vergleich zu den besten der bisherigen 200er Adapter dennoch deutliche Geschwindigkeitszuwächse - auf kurzen Distanzen Faktor 2 - bei der Datenübertragung über Stromle...

  • Enkel løsning for å unngå å legge kabler. God ytelse i henhold til teknologi.
  • Kan hos en del fungere for dårlig.
  • I snitt leverte Netgear AV500 bortimot dobbel ytelse av 200 Mbps-løsningene vi har testet tidligere. På de tregeste testpunktene for de tidligere løsningene kunne Netgear stille med rundt tre ganger bedre hastighet. Fortsatt opererer man med svært teo...
