We've looked at several EOP kits before, like the Solwise HomePlug Ethernet PL-85PE and the Panasonic HD-PLC Power Line Network and have been impressed by all of them but today I'm looking at the Netgear HDXB101, the fastest rated version we've yet to come across, claiming to support up to 200Mbps.

The move towards affordable SSL-VPN appliances is definitely under way. We've already looked Billion's slick little BiGuard S10 and now its Netgear's turn with its even lower cost ProSafe SSL312.

Netgear's Powerline HD Ethernet Adapter's simplicity is unbeatable, and it's a great way to get faster, more reliable, convenient and uncomplicated network connections throughout your home or office, in order to support a growing number of applications like online gaming, audio distribution and HD video streaming, all of which require copious bandwidth. For simple, reliable, high-speed connectivity, Netgear's Powerline HD Ethernet Adapter is a must for any modern home. The only issue you may wish to consider is that the adapter won't work with a power strip, extension cord, or surge protector, as these may prevent the adapter from working properly or degrade the network performance. It's also not an entirely wireless solution.

Netgear is undoubtedly best know for its consumer networking products but its ProSafe router lineup aims to provide businesses with that little bit more in terms of features and security options. The VPN Firewall 50, or FVS338, offers the usual SPI/NAT firewalling and protection from DoS attacks but augments these with Internet failover and VPN support for up to fifty mobile clients. Netgear has also done a deal with Trend Micro to incorporate optional anti-virus and anti-spam measures...

The storage industry has far more than its fair share of acronyms and just when you thought manufacturers had made up enough, along comes Zetera Corporation with SoIP (Storage over IP). This storage networking technology certainly look to offer some significant benefits over common or garden NAS appliances and Netgear's Storage Central SC101 is one of the first consumer products on the market to utilize it. Firstly, we'll take a closer look at SoIP as it is a remarkably simple yet potentially powerful solution...

The DG834PN is presented as a smooth plastic lozenge that looks and feels well built. There's not much to see at the rear as along with an integral ADSL modem it offers a four-port Fast Ethernet switch. If you need to connect more network devices it's easy enough to cascade another hub or switch from any of the ports. Netgear has perfected its installation routine down to a fine art as you simply connect your ADSL line, link a PC to the unit and point a web browser at its default IP address. The home page opens with a quick start guide that asks for the country of operation and then attempts to detect the type of Internet connection for you. If all is well it requests your login details and that's all there is to it...

Now that the idea of using the Internet for making phone calls is catching on in all walks of life we're starting to see some real bargains out on the streets. With the TA612V, consumer and small business champion Netgear has teamed up with service provider sipgate to deliver a complete VoIP (Voice over IP) package that aims to be small on price but big on ease of use. It uses the SIP (session initiation protocol) and as a sweetener comes with over nine hours of free calls to get you hooked...

There's no denying MIMO wireless products deliver in the performance and range stakes and Netgear's WPN824 offers a good selection of features suited to home users and small businesses alike. Of course, the downside is that to get these speeds you'll have to purchase Netgear's accompanying RangeMax PCI and PC Card products. Though this means losing the convenience of the built-in wireless that so many laptops are now equipped with, the speeds benefits of making this switch are palpable. And as with the router itself these products are available at competitive prices.

Wow. Simple as that, once I had ironed out the WEP problem, it was all systems go, and it has been going for about 4 hours a day for over a week in my house. Fortunately, I am at home all day on my own, so no nagging family to tell me "turn it down" ! It was loud and it was good quality, it was easy to control and very reliable even with the host PC doing a 500MB photo upload and download - it didn't glitch once. Construction is simple, it looks neat and is quite discreet.

The main differences between the DG834GT and the older model is the fact that it supports faster 108Mbit/sec operations. Physically, it's much smaller than its predecessor, although this white plastic lozenge offers an equally good hardware specification. For starters, you get an integrated ADSL modem teamed up with a four-port Fast Ethernet switch, while the internal wireless access point (AP) supports simultaneous access from 802.11b and g clients.
