TRENDnet 500 Mbps Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter Kit TPL-401E2K (White) Reviews
| 29 of 30 people found the following review helpful  Fastest On The Market and Amazingly Easy To Set Up, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: TRENDnet 500 Mbps Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter Kit TPL-401E2K (White) (Personal Computers) I am tremendously happy with the Trendnet Powerline AV 500. I've used it in two houses, a century old converted schoolhouse in Masschusetts and a decade old California house with far newer wiring.In the Massachusetts location, even with the top Netgear wireless N routers on the 2.4GhZ band, I couldn't get a consistent signal from the top corner to the bottom corner of the place. The signal strength would report "3 bars" but the connection was spotty at best and would cut out constantly. With the Trendnet, I can stream video consistently and the setup was as easy as plugging in both adapters into a standard wall outlet. Pushing the "connect" button seems optional. There's at least fifty feet of wiring between the two locations and the Trendnet handled it amazingly well with Skype video displaying consistently and beautifully. In the California location, I have about the same fifty feet of wiring although the wiring is far newer and I can stream...

I was amazed when I first plugged the two adapters that come with the kit. They were registering a 279Mbs connection between them. I am able to max out my 24Mbs comcast connection consistently on speedtest.net. I am also able to do the same wirelessly, though the connection Tx rate is only 65Mbs and the Rx rate is 117Mbs. However, test results are not consistent using the Airlink AWLL6075's connected to a Mac Pro tower and PC located less than 30 feet from the router. I have more testing to do with actual video streams but so far the TrendNet adapters are looking very promising. Will update later. Did not do any actual file transfers to measure real world throughput but will get to that next.----Update (7/20/11)------ I finally got around to doing a bit of real world testing. I have so many... Read more 17 of 20 people found the following review helpful  To slow for Video, By Russell S (Orem, UT) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: TRENDnet 500 Mbps Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter Kit TPL-401E2K (White) (Personal Computers) I have a 20 year-old, 4000 sq ft home on three levels, with my internet connection and a media server on the main level. The electrical panel is in the basement in the middle of the house. I use SageTV to stream video from my server to the TVs in my house. Wireless has been problematic, because of the 14 other wireless networks in my neighborhood. I therefore decided to try the TRENDnet 500 Mbps Powerline AV Ethernet adapters to see if they would improve performance. Setting them up is easy and installing the software on a Windows 7 Laptop allowed me to verify that I had a connection and try different things to see the effect on connection speed.With both adapters on the same circuit the software said the speed was 450. I then plugged in one adapter next to my server and ran a network cable from my network router to the adapter. First I tried using the second adapter upstairs in the master bedroom at the opposite end of the house. Initially the software identified the... Read more |
