I use these so I can control my TIVO box via my iPhone app. For this to happen I have to connect my cable router to the back of my TIVO box. Router is upstairs and cable box is in the lounge downstairs, so they have been connected via Belkin powerline adapters instead of running ethernet cables throughout the house.
I have been using them for 4 years and they work flawlessly. The one downstairs is going through a surge protector and does not seem to affect performance. The signal being passed through my wires only goes as far as the fuse box, so no danger of next door picking up my feeds.
