Design NetComm's original 200Mbps home plug units were our choice for the best of the previous generation of home plug designs. Not because they were particularly attractive — quite the opposite, actually, as these chunky purple plugs looked woeful and were difficult to fit into many double sockets and power boards without effectively blocking up two ports at once. It seems NetComm's designers have been slowly listening, as its second-generation 200Mbps home plugs have a much better physical design, with plugs that are smaller and plug sideways into a socket.

They're not quite as multifunctional as Belkin's Powerline AV Networking Adapters, which allow you to either directly plug into a socket or use a cable, but they're a solid step up in design terms. Features The feature set for these home plugs is, like so many others, in the name itself. Performance As with all Ethernet-over-power adapters, the real beauty of the NP201AV HomePlugs is the ease of set-up.

Design The basic design of Netcomm's Homeplugs hasn't changed markedly over time.

Buying a double pack of them — and outside of the wireless NP290W, it's always made more sense to initially purchase double packs — always entailed ending up with two big chunky plugs with 10/100 ethernet ports more or less drilled into the bottom of them. There has been some evolution of the design — the NP200AV plugs have a whole lot more ridges on the sides and front, although we're not sure if they're intended for cooling or just aesthetics. Given that they don't actually open the plug up in any way, our bet is on aesthetics. The other major difference between the NP200AV and its ancestors is that the plugs themselves aren't entirely black; they're a two-tone purple and black instead.

There is one caveat to note for existing Homeplug users. The other appealing factor about Homeplug technology is that, unlike a lot of networking technology, it's very binary. NetComm NP285 Ethernet over Power Unit Review. I’ve had Netcomm’s NP285 Ethernet over Power (EoP) units running my home network for two years now and can say that they are very reliable but a bit slow. There arn’t that many reviews of them, so I thought I would write an overview for anyone considering using Ethernet over Power. Usability Setup is a breeze (no joke) it is just like you are plugging into a hub or switch, other than your normal IP settings they just work (if only more products were like this). Obviously as they are networking equipment they will work fine with Apples, PC’s, IP Phones or any Ethernet device. They actual units are a little bulky however can just fit next to a standard power plug and while they work best plugged directly into your power socket, mine did seem to function using a power board.

Reliability As I said, they work really well. Speed Obviously the marketed speed is the theoretical maximum. In my testing the actual sustained speed between two units side by side is about 3MB/s.

Design For far too long, AC-based Ethernet adapters have had something in common — they've been big, bulky and unsightly. Aesthetics aside, big bulky adapters are a pain to fit in most sockets (when vertically mounted they fall out easily) and their size means they often block adjacent ports. We have seen variances in this approach — Billion's BiPAC 2070 managed to dodge this with a cabled approach, but then went and spoilt it with a power brick design that looked like it belonged to a VIC-20. If there's one nice thing to say about Belkin's take on power line, it's that the adapters dodge both problems. The Ethernet connected side of its adapters are still pretty big, but they're designed with rounded corners that give them a fairly pleasant aesthetic.

Belkin's approach to wall mounting is an interesting one. The Powerline AV Starter Kit comes with two adapters, two power plugs and two Ethernet cables, as well as set-up instructions and an installation CD. Features Performance.

The HomePlug networking standard has been around in the States and other countries for a few years, and has proven a popular alternative to running CAT 5 cabling in your walls or for the (then) expensive cost of setting up a wireless network. HomePlug is wired networking for sure, but it uses an existing infrastructure in your office or domicile: your copper electricity power 'network' that feeds your TV, hair-dryer, fridge and any other electrical appliance the juice it needs to run. In short, HomePlug uses your house's electrical wiring. Before we delve into the intricacies of its configuration, performance and functions, it's worth dwelling on the immediate advantages of power-line networking. Firstly, there are no cables to install as your house is already wired for electricity and will have far more points in each room than you could ever hope to cable. Secondly, it has a maximum throughput of 14Mb/s – respectable, but by no means earth-shattering.
