D-Link Powerline AV2 2000 Gigabit Passthrough Starter Kit
The D-Link Powerline AV2 2000 ticked all the right feature boxes, offering passthrough sockets and MIMO promising 2000 Mbps speeds. And while it performed very well on the same circuit tests, it produced lower throughput speeds and higher ping when moved to a different circuit.
Trendnet Wi-Fi Everywhere Powerline 1200 AV2 Wireless Kit
Trendnet's Wi-Fi Everywhere Powerline kit had lower throughput speeds on wired tests compared to our pick, although it did keep up in the wireless arena. We also didn't like the odd placement of the three Gigabit ports on the top of the adapter. With the lower Amazon rating in mind (3.5 stars), it did not earn our recommendation for this segment.
