I can’t easily uninstall the whole-house surge suppressor (nor would I want to), so I walked over to the other side of my property and retested the pair of PLA5405 adapters in the house where my daughter lives. When I tested the PLA5405, I saw disappointingly slow performance: Where TechHive freelance reviewer Denny Arar saw TCP throughput of more than 100Mbps while benchmarking this adapter in her home, I got a miserly 27.4Mbps (and that dropped to just 22.7Mbps when I enabled encryption between the two adapters). It’s easy enough to plug the adapter straight into the wall, versus a power strip, but I have a whole-house surge suppressor installed in my circuit-breaker panel. One of the other drawbacks of powerline adapters is that they shouldn’t be plugged into a surge suppressor (the surge suppressor will identify data traveling over the powerline as noise and try to filter it out). It’s based on the latest HomePlug AV2 MIMO technology.

ZyXel’s PLA5405 is one of the fastest HomePlug adapters on the market. Non-MIMO powerline adapters have just two-prong adapters, but they deliver much lower performance, as you’ll see in this product roundup, which also contains much more information on the technology.

I plugged a second PLA5405 into a receptacle in my home theater and connected it to my home-theater PC for measuring TCP throughput.Īs with all the products in its class, ZyXel’s adapters require grounded electrical receptacles because they transmits data on any two pairs of wires on a three-wire electrical cable: Line/Neutral, Line/Ground, Neutral/Ground, and so on. I plugged one of ZyXel’s PLA5405 adapters directly into the wall at my homerun and connected it to my router using a CAT5e cable.
