Having never been a fan of USB wireless adapters with good cause we can finally say good-bye. No more trying to find an adapter that this or that device supports, hoping our router supports it and keeping our fingers crossed the wireless speed will be anywhere close to what we need.
Of course Powerline devices have been available before now however they have only offered one port, mediocre speeds, and high prices. Western Digital has fixed all three with their new WD Powerline AV Network Kit.
You connect one adapter to your router (along with an electrical outlet) and plug the other adapter into an electrical outlet next to your gear. Each adapter has four ports and can handle whatever you want to stream so you should be good to go regardless of your nerd factor.
