I love the convenience of the Comtrend kit. The connection speed is more than enough for most uses, and the ability to add a network connection this easily to an area that would otherwise present much difficulty to do so, is just a great plus. No matter h
The only thing I would like to see improved is the ability for the Comtrend to provide even faster network downstream speeds, but this may differ by location and structural characteristics within the environment, and may not actually be a factor that need
I really like the Comtrend G.hn Powerline adapters and they have already become a permanent addition to my network. The stability of its network connection and the versatility that it adds to a network make it a winner all around. I can see myself buying...

Abstract: The powerline adapters are gradually becoming better known and more popular since they represent a reliable alternative to the traditional Ethernet wiring. So, in order to find out which are the best powerline adapters, we tested some of the most popular...
Positives aside, Comtrend could definitely do with better default settings in the firmware (particularly for power efficiency). The firmware update process must be made more reliable. Better software QA wouldn't hurt. The HTTP interface should also be mad...
Can coexist with HomePlug, Highest yet throughput in worst case test location, Seems to handle "bad" AFCI breakers better than HomePlug
Can't interoperate with HomePlug, Not recommended for "short loops", No electrical safety certifications

Good throughput performance. Simple setup. Small form factor.
Expensive. No pass-through outlet
The Comtrend G.hn PG-9172Powerline Adapter Kit contains two relatively small, albeit pricey, Gigabit Ethernet Powerline Adapters that deliver solid throughput and file transfer performance....
The Comtrend PG-9172 G.hn Powerline Adapter has top performance and is easy to use
The suggested retail price is high and the relatively bulky adapter might obstruct adjacent wall sockets. It doesn't have a pass-through power socket, either
The Comtrend PG-9172 G.hn Powerline Adapter has near-Gigabit performance but the suggested price is too high for what it has to offer....
Respectable performance, Compact form factor, Attractive price
It's not the fastest powerline adapter, Incompatible with more common HomePlug powerline adapters
The Comtrend PG-9172 demonstrates the G.hn standard's ability to deliver decent powerline performance at a good price, but it's incompatible with the many HomePlug AV2 MIMO competitors, and it's not as fast as the best of them...
Comtrend's PG9172 is a solid performer when compared to AV2 600 solutions, but falls short in today's PL1200 market. There are just too many higher performing solutions on the market for this unit to be considered...
