The last time we discussed these products, powerline adapters with claimed gigabit speeds were not very common, however these days they are the norm. Time for an update! We tested 14 adapters - the extensive comparison table can be found here - from various manufacturers that allow you to realize a network connection using your existing power grid.

These days powerline is no longer a new technology, however there are still quite a lot of new developments. Modern models claim maximum theoretical throughput speeds of 1200 Mbit/s, provided a ground wire and mimo can be used. Especially in combination with a 802.11ac wireless access point, they are potentially effective solutions for coverage issues at home, for example in new houses isolated with concrete and isolation material.
