Reviews of the Linksys Instant PowerLine USB adapter

  • 6.1

    CNET Review

    June 6, 2003

    The Good: Fast data-networking rates; user-friendly configuration utility; compatible with HomePlug 1.0 networks.

    The Bad: Larger than other compact power-line adapters; works with only later Windows-based USB connections.

    The Bottom Line: The PLUSB10 is a good choice for connecting to a power-line network through a USB connection, but its bulk can make it difficult to plug into outlets in tight spaces.
