I tried another brand of Homeplug (Aztec) and the connection kept dropping off when I tried at home so I ended up returning it. The Panasonic works like a charm, it is twice the price of the other products, but it boasts 180Mbps thruput, and it looks sexier:) I did have problem initially when plugged it into an APC power bar with surge protection. After plugging it into the wall they worked perfectly. I did not test thruput but I can post results once I get around experimenting with it. I do know that when tested with the SB3 LAN test plugin, I get 500,000 MegaBytes per seconds with 100% success rate most of the time. On a bad day it does sometimes drop to 70% with 500,000 MBps though. I am using a mixture of wireless LAN and powerline. Wireless LAN mainly for the living room which is where my broadband originates. Wifi keeps dropping off in the bedroom which is 2 concrete walls away. So I was dying to get Powerline networking working at all cost. The main objective is to put my NAS storage and laptop server in the bedroom, away from the stereo so I can have peace and quiet. Now it is working like a charm. I can now stream 24bit/96Khz WAV files with no problem whatsoever. Touch wood because I just got it working yesterday. Hope it lasts. -- agentsmith SB2/Pioneer DV-S733A - Benchmark DAC1 - Naim Nait 5i - Naim Ariva Speakers.
