dlink av2 1000 dhp p601avb

   Powerline adapters have come a long way since I first started using them well over 7 years ago and although no matter how good and fast they get their performance is always dependent on the quality of the local electrical wiring in the end they provide much better and reliable data transfer speeds compared to WiFi. The AV2 1000 HD Gigabit Passthrough Kit by D-Link may not be at the top of our charts (the FRITZ!Powerline 1000E by AVM still holds first place) but it’s second best (took that place from the PLP1200 by Netgear) and that combined with the passthrough electrical socket and its price tag as you will see later on is really a very good result. Unfortunately you can’t monitor the status of the adapters like you can with other models but for the majority of users out there that will most likely not be an issue.


   For some weird reason the AV2 1000 HD Gigabit Passthrough Kit (DHP-P601AV) by D-Link is not currently available in the USA but inside the EU you can find it for just 73Euros (Amazon.de). The non-passthrough power socket kit (the DHP-601AV) is however available in the USA for a price of USD69.99 (Amazon.com). This price is quite lower than what most competitors ask for their equivalent products and we expect that to go a long way with people who are not after the crème de la crème of powerline adapters. In the end D-Link has released a very good product with the DHP-P601AV kit and that’s why it gets our Golden Award.
