Hi.

I want to buy a Powerline so I can have an ethernet network on my home without too much difficulty. A powerline seems like a great choice, but they all come with ethernet 10/100 only. I want to attach a NAS (DS1511+ with 180mbps reads/writes), so I think I'll need all the extra power possible. Therefore, I'm searching for a powerline with ethernet 10/100/1000, but cant find any.

Does someone know a brand and model?

Do this powerline perform well for use with a NAS?

Thanks!
 
I know, but at least this way I could get the maximum transfer rates, right?

I mean, better to have 10/100/1000 than just 10/100. Maybe I could get a few more Mbps with a gigabit powerline, enough to make smoother the playback of HD video, for example.
 
I just found a powerline 500mbps with ethernet 10/100/1000. Its a TRENDnet. Looks very very good. Maybe with that powerline and the DS1511+ I could get very decent speeds for video playback.
