Performance is a little lower than we would have expected and is certainly not out to replace traditional cabling, but the Devolo MicroLink dLAN does offer the same reliability of transfer. There are also no issues of reception and it can in theory travel up to 200m, which is pretty much any power outlet in your house.
Add to this the fact that you're not going to have to muck about with MAC address filtering, hiding your SSID or go through the trials and tribulations of WEP and WPA keys, and it's clear that this will be an attractive proposition for the non-techie home user.
We think this is a wonderful piece of technology that is incredibly simple to use. For a lot of people this will be worth considering as an alternative to wireless or tiresome cabling. The real down side is the cost - at £122.78 including VAT you are paying extra for the convenience factor.
