Powerline networking

Decent performance, but there's nothing new here. Devolo's similar kit may not be quite as fast but it also includes Wi-Fi for the same price

Powerline networking

A simple yet fast and effective networking solution, the Piggy Mk.2 comes out top for speed and won't take up a power socket, and at £40 it's keenly priced too.
