Review on D-Link Powerline Adapter Starter Kit: Transform Your Power Outlet into a High-Speed Gigabit AV2 2000Mbps MIMO Internet Network with DHP-701AV by Michael Mayes

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Had a good three months

Bought and received 18th February. Operated as intended until May 27, albeit at reduced speed. No longer closes the circuit to the far end. One day I noticed that I didn't have an ethernet connection and looked around and found that the powerline connection was down. I rebelled, unplugged, swapped cables, and generally followed the recommended steps to no avail. I have accepted the limited speed as a device independent factor and within the limitations of my own power lines. But a lifespan of three months? Well, it's a unique device. Maybe I just got a bad one. It happens. However, I am not satisfied and have no desire to buy the same brand again.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
