Faster plug adapters

Two models one sale and more to come

The new generation of devices that turn a mains plug into an Ethernet port includethe Corinex AV-200. We have tested it for speed and will print a full review after RF tests. It is rated at 200Mbits/sec but we could only get 45Mbits/sec out of it, which may have been due to noisy lines.

Still, that is more than the real throughput of Wifi and easily fast enough for video. The AV-200 costs £80 ex VAT from here – and you will need two for a connection.

Devolo is selling a backwards-compatible adapter using a fast (rated 85Mbits/sec) version of the 14Mbits/sec Home Plug technology used in most products sold today. A starter kit with two plugs costs £116. Products using a new 200Mbits/sec Home Plug specification are due out next year.
