Just grabbed 1 of those powerline's, looked at them months ago, and I swear they were near the £100s. Have they taken a huge drop in price?
Since 500 Mbps has come in the 200mbps have had a nice price drop indeed. Even better at £10 today only deal
Got to love the iPhone & 3G access at work!
Managed to snag another 5850. Already got one from the Epic Tuesday deal & this one was too good to miss too.
Currently running a Powercolor 5850 & the Sapphire I bought on Tuesday too but 2 sapphires will give much better cooling in my case (stupid motherboard design puts the 2 cards in crossfire about 1mm apart).
Just so you know, my Sapphire is sat at 22% fan speed @ 40c in a Fractal R3 case.

LAN or WAN ?
Does anyone know if this TP-Link can be used in LAN only, or in conjunction with some router (like router + network device) acting as WAN-LAN gateway ? I mean is it any broadband provider in UK who uses power lines ? It would be nice alternative for my picky-from-time-to-time virgin

Yes, but let's imagine: there are typical Ethernet (802.3) and WLAN (802.11) adaptors built in the popular modem-routers that use phone or fibre optic WAN connection.
Originally my question was regarding to that WAN connection - was there any provider who offers broadband through power lines (and this is conjunction with TP-Link I was asking for - it would be another device, not TP-Link standalone, of course, but using power lines as Ethernet media, too) ?
But then, I realized there's no need to use any router to establish connection between two such devices: "The PLC connection is transmitting the data through the electric wire between two outlets, so it at least requires two PLC adapters pluged into the outlet to transform the data streaming. With twin pack design, the starter kit ensures to establish a powerline network for the first time. ". So - in theory - it's even easier to make WAN connection (broadband access) having just one TP-Link device at home, because somewhere there it should be (?) provider's device to make adequate connection and share Internet connection to client side. I presume such device at provider side are present, but the biggest issue might be data trasfer through whole power line network. But time goes on, many things change, so it's worth to ask - maybe someone did it at once

Just got my powerlines up and running great, plugged in an old router at the other end and using it to boost wireless signal and more wired!
Was a bit of pickle to set up, the button didn't automatically set it up so I had install the software and pair them manually. But all working great! Thanks!
