Hi has any one used one of these gadgets. You plug it into wall plug and then via ethernet plug in router or whatever and the you set it up for networking over the powerline. Saves having to run cabling. Feedback please from any one who has used one. Link below

Yeah works great.....the only real issue I have had is if you overload a electrical point where the homeplug is connected to, it tends to drop the transmission speed between the devices...the transmission speed is up to 200Mbps, however I have only reached 85Mbps.

Imoe what comes with the package one adapter or two? I want to keep my ADSL router upstairs and plug one of these adapter in downstairs and connect it to an wireless AP so that kids can connect from their bedrooms.

I bought 2 of those over the weekend plugged them in and the one didn't work. Going to take them back to Matrix warehouse for a refund.

Two units per box.....If you gonna connect it to a wireless AP why not choose the BiPAC 2073N, has both attributes

I've used the Netgear equivalent. it works great, PROVIDED the plugs are on the same circuit. It won't work if they are on different circuits.

Just a question?

Do you have to buy them in sets of two i.e can only the two communicate or is it possible to have 1 of these connected to the adsl router and other 3 elsewhere in the house.

Prices vary between R1250 - R1400 for the P106 starter pack which includes 2 wall plugs. Individual wall plugs are about R700 each.
