Surprised this hasn't already been posted. (apart from the fact it's D-Link)

$25 each in store, max 2 per person.
Makes it a slightly better deal than this one from earlier in the month
D-Link DHP-1324 PowerLine Router Kit $50 @ MSY (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/129635), cause you get WiFi capable routers at both ends rather than just one end for the same price.

Powerline Ethernet router capable of extending your Wi-Fi network and attaching up to 3 devices by Ethernet cable. Can use 2 of these units, or a smaller wall-wart style plug at the modem end.

Uses the Homeplug AV standard so should be cross compatible across brands, but for best compatibility, stick with D-Link.

    Just wondering if this is a transmitter or a receiver? I foolishly bought a switch which only a receiver but now need a transmitter. :) Thanks

    • scotty on 29/01/2014 - 10:35

      Looks like a transmitter to me. You connect this one directly to Internet (via ethernet port) and to power point, and receivers on the same point line can connect to the Internet. See the datasheet.

      • Bargain-er on 29/01/2014 - 10:37

        Thanks, yea found the utube vid as well. Now need to find a retailer in CBD who can pricematch… :)

      • fatice on 29/01/2014 - 11:12

        If I need a Ethernet port for the Internet, and use power point for power, does it make it a normal router ?

          You need at least 2 devices..
          One device connects into your modem (eg in your study) and transmits the Internet from your modem into the Power cables in your walls.
          The second device can be plugged into a power socket in another room (eg your Lounge Room or Shed) and it receives the internet (and home network) through the power cables in your walls and transmits it as WiFi or through Ethernet cables to your devices.

  • ESEMCE on 29/01/2014 - 10:47

    Are you sure?
    Powerline should all be both transmitters and receivers..
    They have to do both transmitting and receiving no matter what end of the connection they are.

    I can confirm that these network together. But the supplied instructions are nigh on useless! (and I have above average knowledge in standard networking)
    I've managed to get Internet through the "receiver" via ethernet cable, but as soon as I disconnect the cable, it appears that the Powerline network drops out.
    I can't work out how to connect to WiFi.. (possibly cause the Powerline network is down cause I've disconnected the ethernet cable.) Neither WPS or entering a password seems to work for me.

    great deal, but if you're going to be transferring files you're better off investing in an av500. I only get 5MB/s on a AV200.

    • megadeth on 30/01/2014 - 01:09

      Ummm… No deal… I can routinely get upto 13MB/s on my 2.4GHz Wifi (with 7800VDOX & NP902n) when neighbour's networks aren't up otherwise I get around 7-8MB/s easily.

      • ESEMCE on 30/01/2014 - 08:25

        Cool story…
        What about where there isn't WiFi?
        What speeds do you get then?

        • megadeth on 31/01/2014 - 01:13

          I'd opt for wired-LAN in those circumstances. 200Mbps is just too slow.

          Depends on your aim..
          For moving files, definitely worth the investment in proper Ethernet.
          for sharing Internet (unless you have a 100mbps connection), this solution is more than adequate.

    Hi,

    I'm thinking of setting up Powerline for a downstairs room with no wifi reception.

    However, the reviews for this model on Amazon are less than stellar:

    Cheers,
    Victor

    • ESEMCE on 29/01/2014 - 11:35

      There's more good reviews than bad which if anything is a good sign in my eyes..
      Everyone leaves a bad review, but few leave a good one!

      Couldn't agree more with the top review though.. The instructions are terrible.. and he reckons the Australian manual is better than the US!

  • wildstone on 29/01/2014 - 12:23

    Does this mean you will have to get another powerline adapter to use with this one?

    • ESEMCE on 29/01/2014 - 12:25

      Yes, or just buy 2 of these as per my OP.

  • he3at on 29/01/2014 - 12:35

    MSY store says limit of 2 per customer. Will these two network together, one hooking up to the internet/modem and the other acting as a remote bridge with wired and wifi clients?

    edit: nevermind - answered above!

  • dan76n on 29/01/2014 - 13:34

    Excuse my Noobness but can someone tell me if I'm on the right track here?
    I currently have a set of TP link AV500 powerline adapters I use for my Apple TV.
    Am I correct in saying if I buy one of these I can plug it into a PowerPoint and it will link with the AV500 and alow me to have another wifi point to connect to (or Ethernet). So I can put one upstairs to improve my wifi?

    • he3at on 29/01/2014 - 14:09

      The D-link has an "AP" mode which eliminates the router function, and they're both Homeplug AV standard, so theoretically it should work.

      However I have come across some comments that you're better off sticking with the same brand when pairing powerline gear, but I have no experience so can't confirm.

      Then again, for $25 it's probably worth a shot.

    • ESEMCE on 29/01/2014 - 14:45

      Should work.. but these are only AV200 and from what I've read, a single AV200 device slows all your other devices down to AV200 as well. (similarly it would slow the entire network to the lowest standard if you were using an even older standard)

  • grab_ur_freebies on 29/01/2014 - 15:04

    How fast would AV500 w/ 'gigabit' ports be in terms of throughput (in best case scenario- good quality copper lines)? Anywhere near 10MB?

    • [Deactivated] on 29/01/2014 - 15:37

      About that, yes

      • grab_ur_freebies on 29/01/2014 - 15:57

        Ok thanks. Good enough for bluray streaming, not 4K though let alone 2K (dreaming…).

        Was looking for something half decent to replace current setup. Guess I'll just stick to my (slightly messy) cabled dual bridged gigabit router setup which gets ~60MB/s on file transfers, any other uses its negligibly noticable. Still works out cheaper too.

        • megadeth on 30/01/2014 - 01:11

          I'd suggest not to ditch the wired in favour of the wireless… may be worth investing money to get Cat 6E cables concealed in the walls.

        • ESEMCE on 31/01/2014 - 08:46

          Agreed.
          If you need speed, investing in a proper network is worth it.

  • mady123 on 30/01/2014 - 01:24

    i have a very tricky question. i am planning to buy two of these units.
    as far as i understand one unit has to be on AP(access point) mode to transmit data through power sockets and other unit has to set up as Router.
    what i am looking for is to access Internet through Wifi from unit-1 that is on AP mode. Is it possible?

    I know it can be done easily on unit 2 because that is already on router mode but it does not solve the coverage problem at my place. Both units have to transmit internet to cover the area. Please shed some light on it. Thanks

    • ESEMCE on 30/01/2014 - 08:27

      Should be possible..
      WiFi is available in AP Mode

    • mady123 on 30/01/2014 - 23:16

      bought two units, Configured and both working like a charm.
