The Bottom Line The Zyxel PLA-400 is a compelling alternative to a wireless home network, but the competition offers faster throughput for about the same price. The Netgear XE102 is one of the most compact power-line Ethernet bridges on the market, making it ideal for outlets in cramped corners or along baseboards. The XE602 is a flexible choice for home users without Ethernet or phone wiring in every room. If you're not on the wireless bandwagon, you don't have to forgo a home network or pay to have a network professionally installed. With the Panasonic HD-PLC power-line Ethernet adapters, you can have a wired home network up and running in minutes.
