Its all white, and although height and width about the same as the AV it does stick out from the socket about 10mm more. It is still pretty small though compared to HomePlug adapters of old. The pair button has been moved to a much smaller button on the underside, the lights have a different arrangement and the Ethernet port not quite as nice coming without a metal surround. Test 2 would be typical situation maybe in a flat where you would have a single ring main with your router in one room and PC in another room.
Test 3 would be in a house with maybe your router upstairs and PC downstairs. The table below shows the results all figures in Mbps using transfer of a Mb file. LAN Speed Test creates a temporary Mb file on the source and uses this as the write test, it then reads it back as the read test. The results in the table were an average of 5 runs.
Something to note is its the Powerline transfer of data that is the limiting factor and there is very little difference between read and write. In fact on some runs write came out ahead of read. The maximum test was a bit shy of the test that avforums performed.
They managed to get Mbps read and Mbps write. The Av in comparison was quite a bit lower — less that as expected due to the Fast Ethernet only port. However, no-one will be using these plugs in the same 4-way.. I was expecting similar drops on both so not sure why the Av dipped so little.
I also did one final test using just the AV The difference was considerable. This shows the importance of trying to get the cleanest signal possible and using wall sockets in preference to extensions. On both Av and Av playback was flawless, no buffering or dropped frames. I could have done a lot more tests with file transfer times and the like, however I was mostly interested in comparing raw figures for this test and to see whether its worth the extra expense of Av over Av If you want to play HD videos, even across floors in your house, then get the Av kit and save your money!

Same ring test: Plugging one Powerline adaptor in a wall socket in one room and the other Powerline adapter into a wall socket in another room on the same ring main, i. Different ring test: Plugging one Powerline adaptor in a wall socket on one floor, and the second Powerline adapter into a wall socket on a different floor and hence the signal would have to hop rings via consumer unit.
