5.0 out of 5 stars The non uber tech review for those who have used PLAs before, May 3, 2011

I approach this review in the hopes of helping fellow home techies who were looking for a quick run down and potential benefit over older Powerline Adapter kits/units. Some good reviews in here detail the outputs of the units here in super fine detail. I'm sure many will find that helpful. I myself was looking for quick info on whether the AV500's were better than AV200's in general, or at least, better than my Netgear XAV2001 kit (AV200 "rated").

Most people know that the supposed throughput of a powerline adapter is pretty much BS. Saying one of these is "Gigabit" is pretty misleading. Mind you this really isn't a complaint. This feeds into the "more must be better" mentality in the tech industry. If you haven't figured out that this isn't always true, then let this product type be a key example. BUT...for me the question always has boiled down, for these types of products, is it in fact fast? Fast for what? Faster than the previous line? (I'm a habitual... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Not as fast as advertised, but very good, February 8, 2011

This review is from: Netgear XAVB5001 Powerline Network Adapter Kit (XAVB5001) (Personal Computers)
After recently dropping my satellite subscription and moving to MythTV, I needed to find a way to get HD video streams from my Antennas Direct DB2 Multi Directional HDTV Antenna and SiliconDust HDHomeRun HDHR-US Dual Networked High Definition Digital Television (White) to a TV in the house that has no options for directly wired ethernet. Wireless (G or N) didn't prove to be reliable or fast enough, so the Netgear 500 mbps (theoretical) powerline adapters seemed like a good bet.

Testing was performed in a ~3-year old house and the 2 adapters were several rooms apart from one another on the same floor. With these adapters, performance can typically vary significantly based on wiring... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally I can use my Blu-ray for Netflix!, March 31, 2011

This review is from: Netgear XAVB5001 Powerline Network Adapter Kit (XAVB5001) (Personal Computers)
This new Netgear XAVB5001 was worth the wait! I had been waiting since December for this product to come out. I had gotten a Sony Blu-ray for Christmas and already had a Netflix account. So I wanted to watch "instant" movies through the Blu-ray. I had a strong Wi-fi connection throughout the house, so I didn't think using the Wi-fi for the Blu-ray would be a problem. Watching a movie through Netflix instant cue was impossible. The movie might run for 10 minutes, but then it would freeze and wait to buffer, but it never would. So I started looking at Powerline ethernet adapters, as the second story of our house prevented easily running ethernet cable to the TV location.

Netgear really strung out the release of these AV500 compatible adapters, and I almost gave up waiting, instead going with some AV200 units. But I decided it couldn't be much longer...so I waited for the Netgear release. I can honestly say that when these arrived, I plugged in one unit near the... Read more
