The HD-PLC (High Definition Power Line Communication) Ethernet adaptor makes it possible for your home electrical wiring to serve as a link between your PC and modem. Getting online access is as easy as plugging into a power outlet. You can move your PC and connect to the Internet anywhere there is a power outlet in your home!There's no tricky installation or complicated settings. Just take the BL-PA100A out of the box and plug it into the power outlet. Set up the other equipment on the network, such as routers and PCs, as described in their respective instructions. With speeds up to 190 Mbps, advanced error correction, and AES 128-bit encryption, the BL-PA100A provides peace of mind at the speed of light.

| Although I did not get the top advertised connection speed, the 30 Mbps I got was plenty to share my cable modem with my husband's two PC's and PS3 in his study. The setup is a breeze, the units work out of the box without any software or configuration. It's a truly plug-n-play system that has worked flawlessly since we got it. The fact that they use a power cable instead of hanging off the electrical outlet is an added bonus since it's possible to hide them away. Not that it's necessary - they are rather attractive, silver color and shape. As an alternative to hard wiring our new home with CAT5 cable or using a wireless router, this has been the best option for us and a portable one - we can connect our computers from any point of the house with an electrical outlet. The perfect, and still wired, option for networking a home. |

I was somewhat skeptical about these; it seemed too good to be true. But after struggling with the wireless in my house providing spotty performance I figured it was worth a try.
The units themselves are well made, just what you would expect from Panasonic. The instructions were downright "stupid proof" to follow (ie: EASY!!). Set one unit to "Terminal" (default) and the other to "Master". Plug both into the same wall receptacle at the same time and press the "Setup" buttons on each unit at the same time. 30 seconds later, it is done. Move them to their final installment location, plug them into the wall and run a standard Ethernet cable to your PC. That's it - you are up and running.
There are only 2 stipulations to be aware of 1- Do not run the device through a power strip as these often have noise filters in them. Plug the unit directly into the wall outlet. 2 - do not share the wall receptacle with a power transformer; the buzz could interfere with the unit.
I went from 2 sporadic bars over a wireless G to 4 continuous bars with these units. Up & download times are a lot faster than they were over wireless.
Simple, easy to use and effective.

| I have photo electric panels on my roof with an AC converter and I wanted to be able to monitor the output without having to install extensive cable to make connections. Instead I used ethernet adaptors that use household wiring by simply plugging into a socket nearby. Setup was simple and worked the first time, no wireless nonsense to deal with. |

| This is a great product. I opened the box, plugged them in and they worked. What more can be said? I would absolutely buy them again if needed. |

| My son's wireless Xbox adapter (P.O.S. like most Microsoft crap) couldn't get a signal in our basement in spite of the fact that every other wireless device I have can. So I tried Panasonic's PLC adaptor. I followed the easy instructions and it worked right out of the box with no more fussing around. The signal was adequate for our purposes. I had hoped it would have shown a somewhat higher higher speed than it did, but it was good enough. Also, we have a lot of things on our power lines that they say might interfere with signal integrity and the signal had to reach almost as far as is possible in our house. So, I'd definitely buy this again and if I need internet elsewhere in the house this is what I'd choose. |
