INTRODUCTION

   WiFi is widely considered to be one of the most important technologies people currently use so it's no wonder that you find it pretty much everywhere you go from cafeterias, bars, clubs, fast food joints and restaurants up to airport terminals, shopping malls, hotels, parks and even in hospitals. Well there's no denying that WiFi has opened new horizons in the industry since thanks to that people can have access to the internet (amongst things including personal and public content) without the need of cables but wireless connectivity is far from perfect and due to signal strength limitations it's not really suitable for every possible scenario. Powerline adapters have come a long way since their introduction in the market several years ago and now offer much higher data transfer rates and much further compared to most WiFi enabled modem/routers. The latest Power line model by Netgear is the Powerline 1200 (PLP1200) and that's what we'll be looking at today.

   The PLP1200 is the very first powerline adapter set by Netgear to feature the brand new 1GbE standard (supports speeds up to 1200Mbps) developed solely for one reason, to make it possible for people to use such devices for lag-free gaming and streaming of 3D and even UHD 4k content to multiple compatible devices. Since the PLP1200 is Homeplug AV2 compliant it also supports MIMO technology (multiple-input and multiple-output) with beamforming, energy saving mode and 128-bit AES encryption. These powerline adapters also feature a noise filtered power outlet so you don't have to worry about them occupying one of your valuable wall outlets in the process.
