Solwise do a gigabyte homeplug here

Alternatively, there's the Netgear AV 500 Powerline here

I have the 250 version upstairs for the kids Xbox and they get far better speed through it than when operating wirelessly.

I have the Solwise Gigs they are very fast, and have worked fine from day one.

I use the Netgear Powerline AV+ ones, they are great, HD streaming no problem, that wasn't possible with wireless.

Make sure you get pass-through ones i.e. they have a female socket on the back so you dont have to take up a socket or end up plugging one into a 4-gang (which works but can reduce speed).

I've had the 200mb ones for ages, very good and traverse the separate consumer unit in the shed where the Stek data centre is. Bought some 1gb ones, won't see the past it, useless...

60 quid for the 4 if anyones interested, boxed with all the crap, proper Solwise.....

bought 3 of these the other week. One at the front hall way next to router (DHCP), one in the frontroom (serving PS3, Sky Box, Xbox) and one in the office (wireless extender, media server, Mac, printer, NAS). Work perfectly and speed is about 200mbps and streams 1080p 3D media from office media PC to PS3 with no issues!

Router and wireless extender are 100mbps, but issues what so ever!

500mbps HomePlug AV2 pass through £28.50 each

Homeplugs will not handle gigabits

The was in the register yesterday
