The Bottom Line The Linksys PLK200 Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter Kit is one of the easiest ways to set up and maintain a home network that's fast enough to stream HD video content, but it's a bit of a strain on the pocketbook. Simple to set up and able to provide ample throughput, Netgear's Powerline HD Ethernet Adapters are a great solution for anyone who wants the benefits of home networking but doesn't want to rewire the entire house or mess with Wi-Fi. Be forewarned, though: it's not an inexpensive solution. The Linksys PLK200 Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter Kit is one of the easiest ways to set up and maintain a home network that's fast enough to stream HD video content, but it's a bit of a strain on the pocketbook. The speediest and most space-conserving way yet to network through power lines. Netgear's wall-plugged wireless extender kit is one of the easiest means currently available for extending the reach of a wireless network.
