Intellinet Homeplug Ethernet Bridge Review

Have you ever wanted the freedom to connect computers to the net from anywhere in your home without the use of complicated and sometimes lagging wireless technology? If so then the Homeplug AV Ethernet Bridge from Intellinet is for you. This magical piece of technological gadgetry allows you to network computers through your home’s existing AC power line with the latest power line technology and enhanced security.

I was lucky enough to get my hands on one of these Intellinet home kits and I must say that it really does an outstanding job. I happen to have an older house that I would rather not be ripping apart to run my own cat5 lines and I just can’t stand the unreliability and slower speed of regular wireless connecting so the Homeplug is a perfect solution. The best part of this product was that it is so easy to use and set up that I can say with confidence that absolutely anyone could do it

The Ethernet Bridge Kit came with everything I needed including two bridges, plugs, and Ethernet cables to connect to my router and any other workstation of my choice. I had my network up and running within 5 minutes of un-boxing with its exceptional plug and play capabilities and the performance was better than I expected. My testing station was a full 3 rooms and 50 feet away from my router and I had no noticeable loss in speed from a standard Ethernet connection and 4X better speeds than my wireless connection. At 17 Mbps down and 3 Mbps up I could not detect the slightest difference in my connection speeds.

I can’t stress enough just how pleased I was with this device and how amazed I was that it ran so perfectly in a big old house with lots of big old wiring. If you want to extend the range of your network without all the fancy wiring you can get your hands on one of these 200Mbps starter kits for just under $250 or if you don’t need that kind of speed, $129 for the 85 Mbps version and be confident that it is money well spent.
