Create a multi-user HD home entertainment network through your electrical wiring. Imagine streaming flicker free HD movies, lag free gaming and more all at the same time. No need for special wiring, with Belkin’s Gigabit Powerline HD Networking Adapters, it is that simple.

Powered by Gigle Semiconductor’s mediaxtream™ chip, Belkin’s Gigabit Powerline provides a secure, stable networking signal anywhere in the home—even for areas that are hard to reach by wireless connections.

Because of its high Gigabit speeds and consistent connection, Gigabit Powerline reduces online gaming latency and provides large bandwidth, making it ideal for online PC gaming and ultrafast high-quality transmission of multiple video streams delivering content at 1000Mbps of speed.
Create an even stronger network by adding a third or more Belkin Gigabit Powerline HD adapters to your set up. This enables the Xtendnet feature that provides more stability and better performance, essentially making the network “self-healing.” The more adapters in your network, the more reliable the connection will get.

Setup of a powerline network is simple with its plug-and-play connectivity:
Plug one end of the Adapter into an available wall socket. Connect the other end to any device with an available Ethernet port (RJ45), such as a gaming console, set-top box, or computer

Here is an image that should help.

Basically if you have a power line connected to your router you’ll be able to connect as many other power lines throughout your house (making sure these are on the same electric circuit) It takes up to 300 Metres away from each other before they start getting poor quality speeds so you have to have one big house in order to suffer from using these. :)

Thanks! :) Presumably, you can only attach one of the devices on the right directly to the Belkin "plug", right? But could you insert a hub/switch between those three devices, thereby connecting all of them to the router on the other side of the house?

(In my case, I want to hook up my PC and my printer, which are sitting on the same desk. I'd like to get the PC off wireless, as it's unreliable; and I'd like to get the printer networked, so I can print from my laptop.)

Thats correct GS105 would be ideal as its gigabit.

Also Fortune, if I was to buy them and find out they didn't perform any better than the Netgear, would I be able to return them under the your returns policy?

Thanks

Not a Problem, Though you shouldnt have any problems with this to be honest these are very good I use one and have now become a hate fan of wireless connections :cool:

Though if you have any problems just contact me and I will be happy to help.

What I'll do is a comparison

Server -> Router -> HTPC
Server -> Router -> Netgear 200 Home Plugs -> HTPC
Server -> Router -> Belkin HD Gigabits Plugs -> HTPC

I'll do a ping test and also a file copy test.

If anyone wants any other combinations, as longs as they're not to complicated let me know and I'll give it a try.

How long are these on offer for? The only reason I ask is that I've just ordered a new router off ocuk, and may possibly invest in some of these depending on how good/bad the router wireless is!

only while stock lasts.. and they are going very fast!
 
Supertaff said:
Ma ny apologies to those who have been waiting for my results on this.

I've been delayed as I've been putting my new study together so all my kit has been disassembled.

I finished putting my new PC's together last night. So I'm hopeful that I can set up a test either tonight or tomorrow.

I am sure overclockers watch what I buy from other suppliers and then drop the prices to torture me. I kicked myself when I noticed Ocuk were selling them for £86 and I paid £100 about 2 weeks ago at this price its a steal.

One bit of warning about these, they are large and if your plug socket is near the skirting board they can have issues plugging in.

I am tempted to buy another pair so I have greater connectivity around the house at this price.

Agreed this is the only down floor regardsing this product :( but overall this is a fantastic buy!

How hot do these run?

The HDX101s I've had ran scarily hot. In fact, I managed to kill two of them, quite possibly due to heat issues. While that experience did leave a rather bitter taste, I got a second pair but bodged a Cat 5 run in while I was waiting. That bodge is still there and the HDX101s never got taken out of their box.

If these are substantially better quality, and in particular run cooler, then I'd consider replacing the Cat 5 with these and selling the HDX101s.

These run at the standard heat and just slightly above room tempurature though you'll not need to worrie about this as there designed to and tested via the manufacturer.
 
Supertaff said:
At present the answer would be no I don't see a benefit from these. For me the main reason to try these was to get Blu Ray working between the server..............
Click to expand...


OH ok no problems keep us informed if there was any conflict :) Im getting a pair of these anyway beeing a gamer so going get some results on these also for you!

regarding Blueray Ive been informed these Belkin Powerlines should be giving you a lot more than 7.5Mbs :confused:
 
Supertaff said:
Hi Mate,

Is it possibel for you to copy a file between 2 pc's that are connected by the powerline and see what windows is reporting as the transfer speed by clicking on more details when the file is transferring?

I'm just trying to see if other people are getting much better results than I am.

Thanks
Taff

Fortune,

Have received mail from Belkin, but still trying to track problem is with kit and not with my set up here.

No problem, I have spoke to belkin they are going to refund you the whole amount for the product and send you a new one free of charge, and give you one of there brand new Concerve products free also :eek: though this would be good to see what tests have been done via yourself and to see if this is a fualty unit or not :) Belkin believe this maybe a faulty unit but are also looking forward to the results you find.

Quote Paul from Belkin:

"Good afternoon

I am really sorry to hear that you are having issues with one of our new products, as a way of good will we at Belkin and Overclockers would like to offer you a New Power line product to see if it was rouge unit that is not performing properly and your Money back in full, and as you have taken the time and effort to contact us we would also like to send you one of our new Belkin Wireless Conserves as way of compensation for any trouble caused."

Replacement HD plugs arrived yesterday from Belkin, hope to test them this evening to see if the first set was faulty or if there is a problem with the wiring in my house.

As a gift Belkin have also delivered a Conserve Plug block product. Which I first thought wouldn't be of use. But now having used it I think it's an excellent peice of kit.

For those who don't know this product it is a 8 plug power extender where 2 of the plugs are always on (when the wall power is on) and the other 6 can be controlled via a remote control. This for me is an excellent version to have this split set up. So my monitors (4 of them) and sound system are connected into the controllable sockets and the charger for my phone and laptop are in the always on sockets. This means at night when I'm finished with the PC I can use the remote to switch of all the monitors and speakers by remote without having to climb under the the desk and remove the plugs and leave the laptop and phone constantly charging. I'm not saying it will make a huge change to my electricty bill, but it will make me a little bit greener by not having all these items on standby 24*7.

I'd also like to take this oppurtunity to thank Fortune and Belkin for the help and support in trying to sort out this issue and hopefully tonights test will give me the results I'd hoped for.

Regards

Taff
