The Netgear quality is there; the presence of a socket for connecting the PLC directly into the wall socket (absolutely avoid multiple sockets!) and to enjoy this socket of a filtering. Thus, possible electrical appliances faulty power supply will not disrupt the functioning of the CPL.
A diode (bottom) indicates the link quality according to a color code (Green-Orange-Red). Like any electronic device, it is strongly advised to disconnect the boxes during the storm (not necessarily for lightning, but for voltage variations concomitant with the storm damaged the materials). If network devices connected to the PLC are off, the CPL will also standby after a few minutes.
At security level, a push button to secure the connection (however secured to the base, making the electric meter border) in the sense that creates a PLC network with a security key that is not the standard key. This also helps to pass on the same electrical system several separate PLC networks.
Regarding performance, 200mbps is sufficient WIDELY for Internet TV (which in any case requires at most 4-8 mbps, and the box not exceeding 20 mbps in adsl), no need to make expensive models (500Mbps) and stamped "tv internet."
From a technical point of view, it is useful to remember the following: a CPL install more than 2 boxes will have degraded performance. The bandwidth will be shared between all the boxes effect. While a case "cause" on the network, others can not "talk". There will be so-called collisions. When the box will send data to a PLC boxes, all others will be "watered" (recipients). Case History: 3 cpl, one on the box, one on the computer, one on tv; if we look at the TV by Internet, the computer will have a very poor connection (huge delays). The reason is that the connection CPL will be "flooded" the time (tv internet bcp requesting the connection) and the computer does not often have the "right to the chapter" (remember Cpl network is shared, one can cpl "speaking" at the same time). This operation is similar to that of a hub (network hub).
