## Description

Review: I used to be a big fan of ethernet over power technology, but this product disappointed me greatly. It claims a max of 2400 Mbps, but in reality it delivers far below the stated specs. The speeds I got were below 10% of the theoretical max. I wasn’t expecting 2400 Mbps, but I was surprised it was as bad as it was, even between a router on one side of my home office and a computer on the other. The outlets are less than 20 feet apart. Adding more nodes is plug and play, but when I added a fourth node I started getting red light indicators that would intermittently switch between nodes. I ended up returning these and going with Wifi mesh routers. The tech on mesh routers has improved greatly and are a much better solution now.
Review: This product stopped working after 2 months. One of the units no longer powers on. After a week going back and forth with their support, I was sent an RMA form that stated I had to send the units to California at my own expense. There was no other option. Shipping from Toronto to California is not cheap and doesn’t make sense since I can by new, better units for that price. Do not buy from Zyxel.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can someone explain to exactly how these work?**
A: Plug into power outlet. Plug RJ-45 cable from modem into the RJ-45 jack. Take other one and plug in outlet somewher in house. Plug RJ-45 cable into that pass thru. Plug the other end into your laptop (I have a Mac I have to use a Lightening adapter). Make sure network connection is made (turn off wireless). Open browser. USe one of the internet spped checkers to make sure the speed My speeds increased from about 160mbs (wireless) to almost 300mbs download (I have business line in house).

**Q: Do you need 1 transmitter to 1 receiver? Or can you use 1 as a transmitter then have multiple receivers?**
A: Yes 1 transmitter can have multiple receivers.  I myself have the transmitter then a receiver connected to my upstairs room and another receiver connected to a Samsung SMART TV in the basement.   It all really depends on the length of wiring the data travels and the age of the electrical wiring.

**Q: can I add a third unit?**
A: Yes, you may add more units to your HomePlug network.  However, it will not just work out of the box.  You must follow the manufacturers instructions on adding an additional adapter, which involves pressing a button on one of the existing units to initiate a "pairing" mode that shares the encryption key with the new adapter.  This may or may not break your existing pair's link, but then it's as simple as sharing the encryption key again using the same procedure.  I at one time had four different adapters all connected to each other in my house.  The safest bet to get the most speed and reliability is to get another adapter of the exact same make/model.  But they usually aren't sold individually...

**Q: Do these cause a security issue? I read another review on a different product that said that one did.**
A: This product should not present a security issue. It does not broadcast over the air and there is a procedure provided to encrypt communication between the two devices.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by J***J on 6 August 2022*

Between the two locations they are bridging, generally get 80mbit/s, 30 on bad days and 120 on good days. When plugged in right next to each other they got around 500mbit/s. Performance and link stability was better when changing mode from "PLC 100MHz MIMO boost" to "PLC 100MHz boost". Adds a bit of latency, generally 15-20ms but I have seen some spikes up to 50 or 100+. Remember that latency, like bandwidth, will be heavily affected by local usage conditions, I have not yet started to dig into if anything specific causes issues or into a way of monitoring and charting the negotiated bandwidth, will edit if I get around to it. VLAN tagged traffic seems to be passed with the tags intact but I haven't done a lot of testing of any edge cases around VLANs. It doesn't seem to be possible to set a specific VLAN for the management UI. No support for syslog or rsyslog, the only option for logging is to run an FTP server and configure it to upload logs there (yuck.). I haven't got around to doing this yet but will edit when I do. There's some kind of shell running on port 40000 but I haven't been able to find a way in yet. IPv6 is supported and works fine. IGMP and MLD snooping are supported, as is multicast filtering, not run into any issues but also not thoroughly tested. Decent if plain web UI, supporting all the usual configuration. Unfortunately not available over HTTPS. One thing to note, the encryption button broke when first pressed on one of the two adapters. Not a big deal as you can set it up in the Web UI. Overall, works fairly well for something like a low traffic auxiliary wireless AP or a printer, maybe basic web browsing and video streaming, but nothing highly interactive or with very high bandwidth demands. 4 stars assuming you have reasonable expectations about the performance of powerline (no, it won't get anywhere close to 2.4gbit, ever), would be 5 stars if I could set a VLAN and use rsyslog, or there was an API exposed for monitoring but looks like I'm going to have to put a scraper together for the bandwidth.
