Hi guys,

Haven't seen this posted so I thought it may help others.

I bought a set of these ($97 at MSY currently so price match at the usual suspects for a bigger discount). Just requires you to send in proof of purchase etc and do the registration through the link listed. This brings them down to less than $50 per set which is a good price from the research I have done. Do what you like with the second set!

They're very handy as they seem to be one of the only ones that angle up from the base rather than hanging below the powerpoint. There are other adapters that are cheaper, but this is quite a handy feature hence why I have made this post.
This is handy if you have floor mounted power points and live in a rental property as I do.
Also really helpful if NBNCo placed your modem in a strange or inconvenient place as you can move your router anywhere in the house with these (dependent on wiring quality of course) without having to run unsightly ethernet cables everywhere.

Go easy on me and enjoy!

Specifications

  • PowerLine AV 500 technology for up to 500 Mbps throughput
  • 10/100 LAN port
  • AC Pass-through socket for connecting other electrical devices to the same powerpoint
  • Simple Connect Button for secure connectivity between other PowerLine devices
  • Wall-Plug design for more convenience
  • Quality of Service (QoS)
  • D-Link Green

    Just a word of warning, if your house is older than say 15 years, the speeds you receive with a device like this might not be ideal and hinder the whole connection speed of your "NBN".

    • LaScrooge on 04/01/2017 - 18:27

      I wouldn't say 15 years is the rule of thumb as my apartment was built in the bong filled haze of the early 70s and still manages full speeds, however yes end results may vary!

      • [Deactivated] on 05/01/2017 - 10:38

        Yeah, my friend tried a pair of these in their house which is about 10 years old and struggled to get above 30Mbps from side to the other. I think if you have things that make a lot of electrical noise it affects these a lot.

    • Make it so on 04/01/2017 - 18:44

      The LAN port is only up to 100Mbps to begin with, so consider your speed hindered for those on proper connections.
      Surge-protecting powerboards also render it useless.

        Yeah, admittedly I only have a 25/5 speed like most Australians!

        • theguyrules on 05/01/2017 - 09:47

          Hahahaha nope. You've got above average internet. That upload!

    • theguyrules on 05/01/2017 - 09:46

      Yeah, our house is rather old and has multiple electrical renovations, and these don't work between a lot of the sockets because they seem to be on different 'loops' or something.

  • unity1 on 04/01/2017 - 18:21

    Thanks OP. Do you have a list of participating retailers?

    • LaScrooge on 04/01/2017 - 18:29

      No I don't but as the promotion is run by D-Link, it would be any of their authorised sellers. Thus as long as you avoid random eBay stores and Gumtree, you should be relatively safe.

      I guess it would apply at all the main stores so MSY, Harvey Norman etc. MSY's price is pretty good for the purpose of price-matching other closer retailers.

      Thanks, was just about to add this in!

  • Yekul on 04/01/2017 - 18:41

    FYI if you don't need pass through the model without is is almost half the price. But then I dunno why you wouldn't just buy a tp-link instead anyway. Come in a two unit kit ready to go, and d-link make some horrid user interfaces for their network gear. TP-Link interface is basic, but at least what you need is there.

    • LaScrooge on 04/01/2017 - 18:46

      Oh I agree although these are auto connecting so no need to deal with the user interface.

      Main reason I had for this particular type was that the NBN box sits above a single floor mounted powerpoint, and all other types like the TP-Link are oriented the wrong way to fit.

  • Make it so on 04/01/2017 - 18:43

    These things have 100Mbit LAN ports, so what is the point of the supposed 500Mbps speed between the units?
    And having two of these is a bit pointless, because I am pretty sure that if you run two sets of them, they will interfere with one another and degrade the speed.

      1. Point is to bring network outlet without running cables
      2. AV500 is a protocol between the units, even most connections running NBN do fine, I get 96mbit / 39mbit on my AV200 version of these
      3. Running 2 sets doesn't cause interference, it adds additional outlets, its a homeplug network, you can add other brands if they are compliant
      4. I bought these for half the price recently, massive price hike on these
        5 These offer power passthrough, good for limited power areas
        500mbit means the combined throughput of the devices, I seem to get full NBN speeds on my units.

      Very happy with the performance even in a house built in the 60's

      thank me later

      • LaScrooge on 04/01/2017 - 19:00

        Thanks mate,

        I'm surprised about the speed on the AV200.

        A lot of the material online is very confusing but it seems like most networking stuff, the theoretical speeds are just theoretically speaking, marketing.

    • alvian on 04/01/2017 - 19:02

      Ethernet over UTP is much more efficient than Ethernet over Powerline. AV500 matches well with 100Mb/s Ethernet. See for example, http://www.trustedreviews.com/best-powerline-adapters_round-…

      we expected this kit to deliver the ~10MB/s of other AV500 kits, but it could only muster up 5.2MB/s, which is actually worse than the AV200 Netgear Music Extender

        I have the same kit and I get 10mb/s easy transferring files
        so I would take reviews with a grain of salt

  • bruc3 on 05/01/2017 - 09:39

    I have just moved into an apartment, and thinking of getting a powerline adapter.

    So is this a good one? Or should I consider another brand/model?

  • bruc3 on 05/01/2017 - 09:59

    On MSY website it says on the homepage it is available for $89.

    But if you check their pricelist it says its $99.

    So can we buy it for $89 from them?

    UPDATE: Just spoke to MSY, and they confirmed they will sell it for $89 if you buy it from the store in person.

    • meticulousmatty on 05/01/2017 - 11:20

      Verify that it's the passthrough model, if so it's a good deal.

  • meticulousmatty on 05/01/2017 - 11:24

    Picked one up a few days ago, I had price matched TGG at JB Hi-fi for $102.

    The item is already a 'kit'. Comes with two in the box.

    Sent through the mailed redemption confirmation yesterday. So not bad to get two kits for that price.

    I know, I know. The non-passthrough kits are cheaper. But useless for me where there are single PowerPoints in a room. (Darn rentals)

  • boon_inc on 05/01/2017 - 13:59

    TGG Marion wouldn't pricematch MSY, said they were grey importers. OW was able to pricebeat MSY's $99 but not the $89 on their homepage, said it was a "bundle deal".

    Seriously can't believe the prices you guys are paying for this device. This is ozbargain after all, and you are paying Hardly Normal prices. $59 delivered from Wireless 1

    • bruc3 on 05/01/2017 - 21:37

      Wow thats an amazing price, even cheapest price on Staticice is $96+

      Now I definitely can't say no to this.Thanks unity1!!!!

    • LaScrooge on 05/01/2017 - 22:41

      That's a good find. I was in need of a bricks and mortar store but if you have the time to wait. Strange they don't show up on Shopbot or Staticice though

    • bruc3 on 06/01/2017 - 08:33

      Thanks, just bought one. Lets hope it works well in my apartment.

      • unity1 on 06/01/2017 - 08:42

        If it doesn't work you could sell the used pair and the brand new pair (by redemption) and be way in front of your initial $59 outlay.

        • bruc3 on 06/01/2017 - 09:29

          True that, so win win.

    • Noodles93 on 07/01/2017 - 07:15

      Nice find mate. Cheers.

  • bruc3 on 05/01/2017 - 21:39

    Question, so I have a modem in the living room and want to use powerline adapter in 2 bedrooms.

    So I have 1 adapter in each room obviously.

    But do I need to have 2 powerline adapters connected to the modem or just 1 adapter connected to the modem would work for both bedrooms?

  • Noodles93 on 07/01/2017 - 06:51

    Bit of a silly question but does the deal work by:

    1) purchasing 2 and receiving a cashback on 1 of them; or
    2) purchasing 1 and receiving a 2nd for free from D-link after lodging the claim?

    Thanks in advance :)

    • unity1 on 07/01/2017 - 09:58

      You purchase 1 kit (includes 2 powerline adapters) and you claim 1 kit free from D-Link.

      I ordered from Wireless 1 on Wednesday night and received mine in Melbourne on Friday. Great service from Wireless 1.

      • Noodles93 on 07/01/2017 - 15:58

        Thanks mate.

  • ensanguined on 12/01/2017 - 11:06

    When you buy this 309 kit do you actually get devices branded 308? Or can you accidentally buy some sort of older model? So confused about the feedback I am reading on Amazon…

    • LaScrooge on 12/01/2017 - 11:12

      I think mine were 309 but I'm not entirely sure where to check.

  • SevenSmurfs on 23/02/2017 - 11:37

    Anyone received their second one yet?

    • LaScrooge on 23/02/2017 - 13:20

      I received mine about a month ago!

      • SevenSmurfs on 23/02/2017 - 13:21

        Damn that's not good… mines been way over a month now since I put in the form and still no sign!

        Not sure what to do at this point :*(

        EDIT: shot Dlink an email in which they responded by calling me and clarifying that they have a huge backlog and it's at least in the system. Great customer service!

        • LaScrooge on 23/02/2017 - 14:51

          That's really good news. I think it's because I was pretty early in to the promotion.

          Funnily enough, I haven't even opened the second set yet!
