You've all felt the pain a WiFi network can bring, with fading signal strength through walls or over even moderately long distances inside your home or office. The only other option, short of snaking CAT5 cables inside walls and around your home or office is Powerline Networking.

Initially, Powerline Networking technology was spotty at best in terms of its performance and reliability. Though it's not new, only recently have products entered the market which have the potential to meet or even exceed 100 Mbps wired Ethernet. One such product is the Actiontec MegaPlug AV 200 Mbps Ethernet Adapter. Rated for peak throughput of up to 200Mbps, we look the current state of Powerline Networking to task with Actiontec's new kit. You might be pleasantly surprised with our results.
