    Housemate bought one of these today. Works great! Have LG Smart TV connected now.

    Unfortunately, it doesn't have a Netflix app, and we have updated the software and searched online to no avail. Might be a little too old, 2011 model.

    Really sucks!

    Youtube works at least.

    GrumPy, I have a 2012 version LG smart tv which has a Plex client called 'MediaLink'. It works but it's really basic. And they have dropped MediaLink from 2013 onwards as well. There's an effort going on here to write a Plex client LG app:

    HTH!

    Are these wired only and is it possible to get WiFi at the second plug.

    For anyone on Vodafone, check with them to see will it be compatible. I'm on fibre and bought a new modem and Vodafone won't give me the setup details to set up the modem, told me nobody on vodafone has ever asked to have a new modem over there existing modem. After been on the phone for about 20 minutes there conclusion was we don't support different modems so you have to use the vodafone modem

    It's compatible alright. This is just for extending network without cables, the router is a different thing.

    I have a wireless access point with 4 port switch on the end of the second powerline adapter. So that means you have 4 wired connections, and another wireless network 'at the other end' (ideal for upstairs where you want good wifi access also)

    You can pick up a wireless access point for around €10-15

    Even better plug a cheap Wi-Fi router in to the one upstairs to extend your Wi-Fi access

    I have an eIrcom router do I need to tweak the settings to feed an ethernet signal into it and have it transmit wifi?

    Thanks for the input kazzer.I have very thick stone walls so my router only reaches a couple of rooms.This set up looks like it might be a solution for further away rooms.
