After having constant problems with wi-fi g I had an option to upgrade router and all PC network card to N model or try this new Home Plug system. Price difference for a couple of Home Plugs or a new N router with cards was about the same so I decided to give it a shot.

After some research on the internet Devolo was receiving great feedback, my main concern was speed and reliability of the system. I purchased dLAN® 200 AVeasy Starter Kit from electronic store, should have bought it from internet stores I guess to save few quid, but I made sure I got the fastest possible solution.

Setting up Home Plug was incredibly simple, just like plugging a LAN cable to PC. Well, then installing some software downloaded from Devolo website. There were some firmware upgrades which I also performed. The weekend project turned into just a hour project or so.

Eagerly I run some network tests measuring the speed. Measuring reliability is a bit difficult as only time will show but I can tell you that I am a happy user of this plug for more than 2 months now and did not have a single glitch or  disconnection like I used to have on wi-fi. Sure, the portability is limited if you want to use your internet on your garden running extension cord is probably a bit of an issue. But if you are looking for a reliable connection where you can not run wi-fi successfully then I can strongly recommend any Devolo home plug systems.

In real world tests I have noticed that my network is approximately twice as fast as previous and it is much more reliable. I do not know much about security but there are settings you can play with.
