Just to share an experience on Powerline network at home.
Make sure you set up a unique network name for your powerline network so that you are not inadventantly connected to your neighbour's powerline network and vice versa.
I had a personal experience that I could see my neighbour's router webpage on my laptop before I realised that he and I were both using powerline networks with manufacturers' given default network names, even our devices were of different brands.
Note: The manufacturers' given default names of powerline networks seem to be standardised so that powerline devices of different manufacturers can talk to each other without users intervention.
Plug in one powerline device to the AC wall socket. Connect it to your laptop by an ethernet cable. Use the software provided by the manufacture of your powerline device on your laptop to change the network name stored in that powerline device to a unique name.
Repeat the above steps for all your powerline devices, one at a time.
Now all your powerline devices have the same unique powerline name and will only talk to each other with the same name. Your neighbour's powerline devices cannot talk to yours and vice versa.
Good luck!

Agreed. I just purchased and am using 4 of these flawlessly (so far). Of course, my internet connecting speed is 10 Mbps download, so the 200 Mbps limit on DECA doesn't matter to me

Does these new ones work with Chromecast?
I have an older av500. It has issued detecting Chromecast. I read that it blocked multi cast protocol. Has that been fixed?

I was wondering if anyone has ever seen a security camera that works natively with powerline ethernet and/or a powerline ethernet adapter that outputs POE.

Many thanks to Fenix for introducing MOCA technology here on RFD.. I first bought DECA and after using for a month I bought MOCA (Actiontec - $240). Results of DECA were amazing. always had 90-95Mbps speed. Now using MOCA adapter and it is giving me solid ~496Mpbs as I'm on 500 Mbps package. I put my DECA adapter on sale for $50 if anyone interested. It is about a month old and works without any issue..
