NetGear Powerline AV500 Adapter Kit Video Review

Sales talk. Read reviews elsewhere.  Claimed performances are far below reality. It's better, safer than wireless - often, but not always.

@grey0powerlessnesss We use these all over and they are excellent for where you can't run a hardline. There are limitations, of course, but we've tested them pretty thoroughly. Charts, bandwidth measurements and graphs don't exactly work well for a video review.

Only the N200 Wireless module, which includes a DHCP server. You need that in order to issue IP addresses to other PCs.

Can you directly plug one of the adapters to the modem? We don't have a router since we are currently using the internet at one place in the house.

@ooze1982 You'll need an equipment to hand out IP address, you will need a router. However you can just get a cheap router that support gigabit port if you want decent speed.

@ooze1982 Yes, but you won't get more than the single IP address the modem gives you. A router can give you what's called a "DHCP server" that can allow multiple computers to connect to your Internet service provider. Routers are inexpensive if you shop online ($20-30 and up).
