Linksys PLWK400 Powerline Internet Adapter Kit 200MBPS 1 Port 10 Homeplug AV Wireless Access Point
Cons:Configuration is awkward
Pros:Works as described, extends existing network |
This is a kit that consists of an Ethernet-powerline adapter and a powerline Wireless N access point (the AP also has 1 Ethernet port). The AP is acts as a repeater: it extends your existing network, so you need to already have a router set up (the AP does not do NAT or DHCP).The one-button setup feature did not work for me. Once I set the passphrase using the Cisco software, everything is working great. The only complaint is that the software is Windows/Mac only.The software is the only way to configure the Ethernet adapter. The AP has half the settings accessible through a web interface, and the other half through the Cisco software. Configuration confusion aside, this is a great option for extending the range of a wireless network.
