A successful experience

When I installed an SFR BOX Fibre with a speed of 1 GigaBit/Second, I noticed a clear degradation in the performance of the old PLCs that I had installed about ten years ago (4 LEA DHP-P601AV PLCs capable of 85 MegaBit/Second). I then said to myself intuitively that my old PLCs must have had difficulties in communicating efficiently with a box 10 times faster than them, and I decided to buy faster PLCs (1000 MBPS), with speeds close to that of the SFR FIBRE BOX. As I was not sure of the result, I chose a relatively cheap D-LINK model (89.90 euros for 4 PLCs), thus minimising my financial risk in case of failure. I installed 4 D-LINK PLCs model DHP-P601AV a little more than 4 weeks ago, and I am fully satisfied: => The speed of my network gives me satisfaction, => The source PLC, connected to the BOX is plugged into a power strip (which is not recommended, but it works), => My first receiving PLC serves two computers (via a switch), => The second receiving PLC serves only one computer, => The third powerline receiver is connected to a power strip, connected to a switch-controlled socket (not recommended at all, but it works well). The installation of the 4 PLCs was done quite quickly, using the manual activation procedure (you have to press the button of the PLC you want to activate). Excellent value for money for this product.

Not good

There are some manipulations to do so that the two packs of two plugs can work together. It would be simpler if they made 4-packs of plugs directly, so there would be less hassle in pairing them.

Good quality appliances. Works perfectly. Start-up couldn't be simpler: plug into the mains and it works.

Simple and effective

I received two pairs of sockets and not a set of 4 as other buyers have pointed out, but I didn't have to configure anything, I just plugged in the three sockets I needed. I can finally watch TV without any disturbances!

the disappointment was great

I bought this pack of 4 cpl because 2 were not enough in my home, and the fibre having just arrived, I might as well take spl with a flow that follows, except that .....
It's a bundle of two sets of two cpl, they are associated with each other by set, once the association procedure is done I was tempted to believe that it would work in the room upstairs, and nothing... no communication between the boxes .... direct return, after 5 hours of hell trying all possible combinations, nothing works in the place where I have the most use for it .... while on the ground floor all the cpl work well together.

Essential complement to a home network

It is the ideal complement for my local network between the Freebox Delta and the Pop Tv box. I took advantage of the package of 4 to also put my PC and TV when I don't use the Pop Tv box.
These PLC boxes configure themselves without any intervention. They go into standby mode when not in use.

Branch as indicated, has been working

Easy to order (help available at all times). Interesting price and worked on the first try. Nothing to do but plug in. What more could you ask for? Fast delivery. The only drawback is the huge transport box. Could have put four extra boxes.

This is the maximum I would give, 9 or 10 is exceptional. The service is expected and perfect.

Super CPLs

Having problems with the stability of my Wifi, I bought this set of PLCs. These are the first ones I've bought. They are super easy to use: you plug them in and they sync themselves, which is perfect for users who don't have a lot of network knowledge. I now have a lot less outages than before, which is a pleasure.

Plug and play, nothing to do, just plug in and it works. I have 700 Mbit/s in the main room with the fibre, I find 300 in another room with this device, it is very very correct.

Good product

Good product, however it is not worth a live wire. It loses connection when the network load is too high. This involves unplugging and replugging the adapter that lost the signal to reset it. It's true that there is a reset button but it didn't work for me.

I'm not sure how to use this product, but I'm sure it's a great product. I've been using it for a while now and I'm very pleased with the service.

Average flow rate

The speed drops by 3/4 through PLC. I ended up buying a wifi card that took me from 85 to 400 download. But this is the case with many PLCs, but it allows you to bring the network to the whole house.

Doesn't work too badly

As is often the case, the box was oversized in relation to the product.

Apart from that, on a recent electrical installation, the operation is instantaneous as soon as plugged in. The transfer rate seems correct, few interruptions.

Nickel the PLCs

Hello,
I bought 4 D-LINK PLCs and I am fully satisfied. It's a brand used by PROs and the installation is done without any problem.
Now I have a connection in all the rooms of the apartment so great!
I highly recommend the purchase of this product

Almost perfect

Received within the usual time frame for me. A few days. Great.
The product is exactly as described.
The RJ45 cable is just a joke. 1M length is not even enough to connect my PC which is on a desk.
I've been using it for a while now, but it's not a big deal. I connected the 4 PLCs and everything worked fine the first time. I'm happy to have internet in my PC repair shop which is at the other end of the house. For gamers, about 4 ms of extra latency. This is not a problem for me as I run at 50-60 MS on an ADSL connection.

You plug in and off you go...

It's all in the title, you plug in the PLC and it's done.
I bought it to replace a wifi repeater for fibre, I don't regret this purchase at all.
I'm not sure I'll be able to use it again, but I'm not sure I'll be able to use it again.

perfect

You plug in the 4, you connect the 4, it's done. I also liked the fact that these sockets are quite small, so they don't take up too much space on the wall. I'm not sure if it's a good value for money, but it remains to be seen over time.

Impeccable

A very simple and effective product. Minimal loss of speed compared to a traditional wired connection. It's perfect for everyday use, but perhaps a little bit limited for gaming. The only drawback is that the Ethernet cables supplied are very short, so you'll need to allow for longer cables if your PC or box is not right next to the socket.

Good but sensitive.

I bought these boxes to complete two old boxes.
First of all it took me a while to install them because there are no instructions. The lack of instructions is just to make it look easy.
Secondly, plugging them into extension cords doesn't work well (20MBs instead of 80MBs when plugged directly into a socket) whereas my old 20MBs boxes worked)
The outgoing data rate is 5MBs at home, no better than my old boxes.

Great for the price

Just unpack and plug in. The throughput seems very good (but I haven't tested it to the limits). They are not big.

The LED is a bit bright: you'll have to be careful before putting them in a room (a bit of tape will do the trick).

It took me a while to understand that if they were flashing, it was because they were going into standby mode (because they were not connected to any equipment). I thought they were going out of sync, but in fact they weren't.

Beware, the model I received had an "F" format plug (grounding plug with metal lugs on the edge of the plug). Not all cables found in France are compatible (hence the 4.5).

Very good product

After switching to fibre, we had a problem with our old PLCs not carrying enough speed. I found these plugs, very cheap, and they have replaced my old ones very well.
I have had them for a month now, and they work perfectly (official speed at the box of 100 Mbps and speedtest of 80 Mbps on a desktop computer connected to one of the PLC sockets).

Works very well

This set of 4 powerline 2+2 adapters works great. Cables are provided, they are not very long.
As far as operation is concerned, nothing could be simpler.
You just plug it in and you're ready to go.
I was able to connect my TV decoder and 2 computers to the fibre box without any problems. The speeds are very good, for a 300MB/s fibre you get down to 270MB/s.
For the price it's a bargain.

Works perfectly

Easy to install, a bit big but it's ok, I was a bit sceptical about the price for the 4 (90€), which is not really expensive if you compare with other powerline adapters on the market, so I was expecting a lower quality but it works perfectly.
I've done different tests on different speed test sites and the results are pretty much the same:
106 in downloading and 107 in uploading on a 100Mb Orange fibre connection which I think is pretty good.
I strongly recommend it if you have a 100Mb ADSL or fibre offer like me. Afterwards, for fibre offers above 100Mb, it remains to be seen.

The sockets are easy to set up and the operation is flawless.
Online gaming with a ps4 is better than with wifi.
The only downside is that the RJ cables supplied are really short... less than a metre

Products seem to be of good quality. Easy to connect. They replace very old Devolos but are much more efficient. Very good value for money. The only weak point is that the RJ cables supplied are quite short but I didn't think they were supplied so for me it's fine.

Really good

Replaces Netgear Powerline AV500 powerline to connect the 2 Freeboxes.
Sometimes the old PLCs got out of sync and were a bit slow to watch 1080 HD movies. (too short flow)
With these PLC DLink no more problem it works perfectly.
I am fully satisfied with this equipment really well developed.

Until recently I was using Devolo.
I must say that this Dlink equipment does an equally good job but for less money.
The installation is quick and easy and I have a perfect connection between my server and my computers.
Very satisfied with this equipment. Good value for money.

On my PC, the speed was x3 to x4 when going down compared to Wifi (a bit far)
The device is discreet and knows how to be forgotten: no noise, no LED too visible.

Frankly, it's almost as good as a wired Ethernet connection. Easy to install, and very convenient to use. Well, if there had been 2 RJ45 sockets per box, it would have been even better. But frankly, at this price, it's hard to ask for more.

Works OOB

As my electrical installation is very recent and "clean", and while waiting for cat6 to be installed throughout the house, I chose this fairly economical solution; I didn't take the time to measure the speeds, but I can say that I didn't notice any denial of service, whether it was for the internet or file exchanges, or the streaming of my nas or the Broadway 2T PCTV, everything seems to work correctly.
Not recommended for people who use extension cords or starter tubes or fancy electrical installations but that goes for all PLC systems!

slightly low throughput

I received it a short time ago and I am satisfied with the product as far as installation and ease of use are concerned.
However, the speed is disappointing for a 1000 Mbit/s certified device. I'm running at a maximum of 20-25 Mbps whereas with an rj45 I'm at 90-110...

Installed with the Orange Livebox, I put the cpls on the network without any problem and they are stable without any interruption. They work perfectly together. The speed is great (30-32 mega/second) (my line is at the maximum of 40 mega), the ratio is very satisfactory for me.
I recommend it.
