Zyxel Hi Speed Powerline Homeplug Single

This device is the single PLA-401S allowing you to add to an existing network. You could buy two of these but it’s cheaper to go for the dual pack PLA-401D in this section.
This Zyxel PLA-401S is a brilliant product. If you have not used Ethernet over Powerline systems before then you will love this. Simply plug one PLA-401S into a 13A socket near your router/switch and connect the Ethernet cable. Then more or less anywhere in the house that you have a 13A socket you will be able plug in the other PLA401 and connect to your network. (As long as the power circuit is on the same phase – which in a house it normally is)
