Now for the product itself. Very advantageous: Two LAN cables to each 1.5m length are included.
Installation of the Powerline "extension" is made very simple: connect a module to the router in the power outlet and has one of the LAN cable to the router; Then the PC connect the second module in the wall outlet and the second cable supplied with the PC.
Now the devices are still too "pairing", so to start their own home network between the boxes. The kit comes true vorgepairt, but it can not hurt to seal the matter again. The "pairing" means nothing else than that is pressed on one of the Box Security switch for two seconds and. Within two minutes on the other box Then, the box and another to know must be paired again before it can be the network with her.
After that you can already surf; there is nothing to configure. But there are also more far-reaching functionality, such as forming different networks that I could not test for lack of suitable number of devices.
The advantage of this model is its small size and its low price. Alternatively models offer that will afford 500Mbit, and a version with power socket, so you might not need the distribution router locally. This variant is, however, clear chunky.
The 500Mbit are of course - at least for this manufacturer - to purchase with a higher price; Here you have to decide whether you have a network at home, in the local data (eg a NAS) to be accessed and could therefore require more speed. For pure Internet 200Mbit rich in most cases completely.
Since I've read that DLAN or PLC may uninterruptible power supply units (uninterruptible power supply) and surge protection devices as well as interference filters disabled or also can be completely suppressed, I advise caution. It may be that after the UPS or surge protector no or very slow more DLAN comes out, so that one is forced to plug the module before. But this one skips a possible protective function, because an overvoltage surge could continue for example over the LAN cable into the previously protected PC.
At the time of purchase I have at the installation still does not use a protective device or filter, so I can only confirm the proper functioning of the household.
EDIT 03/2014: Meanwhile, I have for some time (about six months) two overvoltage protection sockets / plugs of electricity (and thus signaling) supply of dLAN "recipient" pre-switch. With the speed tests of Chello and Aon here in Austria I have determined by a rate reduction of about 10 percent in uploading and downloading. Although this is quite noticeable, but not particularly tragic in my opinion.
