I received a set of these 2 weeks ago, also to replace my Netgear 200meg HD kit. My experience has been different to the last reviewer…its more like a parallel between the step up from Wireless-G to Wireless-N or between upgrading broadband. When you upgrade your broadband speed from 8meg to 20meg you don’t expect to max that out but the extra speed does increase your line to a relative degree – ie from 5meg to 14meg in this example. The same can be said for wireless-g and wireless-n difference – N will give you more bandwidth and thus improve speed but it wont get you to the fabled “300meg”. These gigabit powerline work in much the same way, I am now able to stream more on the network without any degradation – something that wasn’t doable with the Netgear 200meg kit! I’m more than happy with these, plus they look the business!
I replaced a set of Netgear 200Mbs Powerline HD with these new Belkin Gigabit Powerline adapters. Seems like there is no speed benefit over my old set. I was expecting these new Belkins to offer better error detection/better reliability/faster speeds, but they offer pretty much exactly the same as my old Netgear 200mpbs were able to offer. My house is 2 years old, I only get speeds of less than 200 Mbps. Seems like they can achieve 1Gbps if they are right next to each other (20cm apart) and a clean line. Belkin haven't improved error detection/inteference removal. Whats the point?
