Plug and play, Twocolor throughput indicator with exact speed reference, Advanced configuration utility available, MIMO
Configuration utility not included in box
Linksys' PLEK-500 Powerline Adapter Kit is easy to configure by itself, but it's nice to have an advanced configuration utility in case you need to make some advanced changes. Also, I like the two-color throughput indicator that reveals when performance...

The Linksys PLEK500 caps at just 500Mbps, well below what HomePlug AV2 has to offer, it's relatively expensive, and it doesn't have a pass-through power socket
With stellar performance and support for the new HomePlug AV2 standard, the PLEK500 is an easy recommendation.
No extra features, No WiFi, Not as fast as it could be, Wasted potential of the AV2 technology
For a simple and easy-to-use way of getting a powerline network running in your house, the Linksys Powerline HomePlug AV2 Kit PLEK500 is a fine choice. Though speeds weren't the fastest, there is plenty of bandwidth for streaming films and accessing the ...
