Bottom line
While not perfect, the Actiontec PWR511K01 for now offers the best value among power-line adapter kits on the market.
The XE602 is a flexible choice for home users without Ethernet or phone wiring in every room.
Info unavailable
The Netgear WG111 is one of the best all-around wireless USB adapters we've seen.
