Devolo DLAN av200 powerline adapters

So I inherited some Powerline adapters from some tenants that moved out. Probably because the small one made a worrying humming sound when plugged in. That got thrown and and Ethernet cable was run to where I wanted to use the main adapter. I wanted wireless coverage for the garden given that summer is getting closer and it works perfectly. 

A quick firmware upgrade and config and it was dead simple. There is a shorter character limit on the SSID as I couldn't put the main homes wifi SSID in but apart from that I was impressed. 

It replaced our Netgear N2200 that I was trying to get working as a wireless hotspot on the end on an ethernet cable but it was causing either DCHP or routing issues when setup correctly (i.e. DHCP disabled and a static route to the gateway).

Netgear D6300 mates 802.11ac WiFi with ADSL, risks one heck of a mismatch

Hmm Engadget sees this as a bit strange but the fact that people have a lot of traffic flying between devices internally with media centres etc make this seem like common sense to me. A lot of people will reside on ADSL 2+ until FTTC/P reaches their price point they are willing to pay...
