Nothing is wrong with the DHP-1320. In fact, it's a great router. The only problem is that it lacks both of what I consider "must-have" features for routers and a power-line device: Gigabit Ethernet and support for the latest 500Mbps Powerline AV standard."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/dht/auto/1326434359.usr1.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>If you're not fortunate enough to have ethernet run to the rooms in our house where you need it, and you happen to live in WiFi signal hell, powerline networking is a viable option now. D-Link's new router supports 500Mbps powerline speeds, which is a big boost from where things used to be a few years ago (think two-digit numbers in terms of real-world speeds). I've never implemented powerline networking technology myself - any Digital Home Thoughts done so? How did it work out for you?</p>
