Review: BELIEVE IT OR NOT POWERLINE WORKS - When you are looking at either choice #1- Wireless which unless you spend many $ is spotty when you are watching videos or movies (i.e. streaming from internet, aka Netflix, etc)..... or a difficult #2 choice where you run Cat5 or Cat6 wire from your internet source (router) to where you want to use (i.e. TV in living room of Bedroom, computer in office or another bedroom) A lot of work and often a lot of $ to achieve. ............. consider this as option #3 which personally have been using for over six years, five with another product and one year with this one (the other still worked but internet provider blaming their problems on the older powerline, I bought a new one (buy at least 200 mnps and 10/100/1000 if possible) ........... This UNIT BEING REVIEWED JUST WORKS. ........ Plug one powerline unit in wall outlet near internet source. run cat5 cable from Internet source (router) to powerline unit............... plug another powerline unit in wall outlet near TV in living room (mine runs cat5 to a 4-outlet switch to run cat5 to TV-AV amplifier-BluRay player/ media player for internet access (Sony) )- .............and all FOUR sources for using the internet (i.e. netflix/Hulu/desertcart etc.) work from the single powerline when using the switch. ...............(FYI- there are some units which have 4 outlet on powerline which eliminates the switch (mine is powered and still not expensive)...................... Most run as many as four powerline or more in network........................ and is almost as fast as one TV where Cat5 cable was run directly from router to media streamer (Sony) to TV. (i.e time it takes for system to boot and give full menu at media streamer desktop- cat5 is a little faster but not enough to run cat5 around a home.. not in my world and pocket book. Review: Works like a charm - FAST FAST FAST! - I purchased this starter kit because one of the adapters from my old set (Netgear XE102G) failed one day. I tried connecting wirelessly in my home but the response time was much too slow. At first I could not decide if I was going to replace my one failed old adapter or buy something else, so I did some research and read reviews and found this product. Well, now that I see how fast my connection speed is with this D-Link set I am actually glad my old ones stopped working. I am not techy enough to measure mbps, but I can say that the response time with these is noticeably faster to me than any other type of connection I have tried. And the set was easy to set up (just plug both adapters in and they work!) I had read somewhere that when these adapters are plugged in they take up the whole wall outlet...but I have mine plugged into the top of a standard 2 outlet wall plug unit and I can still fit another plug in the bottom socket...so that was a pleasant surprise. I would highly recommend this product to anyone. ## Features - Gigabit port for connecting high speed devices - Speeds up to 500Mbps - Use Your home’s electrical wiring by plugging into existing power outlets - Backward Compatible with HomePlug AV devices - Push and Secure encryption button - Supports 128-bit AES Encryption for Network Security - Plug & Play Installation - QoS Support Helps Prioritize Internet Traffic ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004YW7W1A | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,323 in Powerline Network Adapters | | Brand | D-Link | | Color | White | | Compatible Devices | Desktop | | Compatible Operating System Family | Windows | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 82 Reviews | | Data Link Protocol | Gigabit Ethernet | | Data Transfer Rate | 500 megabits_per_second | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 7 years | | External Testing Certification | FCC Part 15 Class B\nCE EMC Class B\nUL\nCE LVD\nK21 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00790069347641 | | Hardware Interface | Ethernet | | Item Weight | 4.96 ounces | | Manufacturer | D-Link Systems, Inc. | | Mfr Part Number | DHP-501AV | | Minimum Required Operating System Version | Windows 1 | | Model Number | DHP-501AV | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 2 | | UPC | 071090288111 132017693842 778889321805 151903029275 666672922684 072090532266 072090528368 353791852823 778890631788 191120038902 999994763025 790069347641 777781896046 | | Unit Count | 2 Count | | Warranty Description | 1-year limited | ## Product Details - **Brand:** D-Link - **Hardware Interface:** Ethernet - **Color:** White - **Compatible Devices:** Desktop - **Data Link Protocol:** Gigabit Ethernet - **Data Transfer Rate:** 500 Megabits Per Second - **Item Weight:** 4.96 ounces - **UPC:** 071090288111 132017693842 778889321805 151903029275 666672922684 072090532266 072090528368 353791852823 778890631788 191120038902 999994763025 790069347641 777781896046 - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00790069347641 - **Manufacturer:** D-Link Systems, Inc. ## Images ![D-Link PowerLine Adapter AV500 Gigabit Mini Starter Kit (DHP-501AV) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41udEb46q+L.jpg) ![D-Link PowerLine Adapter AV500 Gigabit Mini Starter Kit (DHP-501AV) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51EhvUODKhL.jpg) ![D-Link PowerLine Adapter AV500 Gigabit Mini Starter Kit (DHP-501AV) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41F9+f0Ze8L.jpg) ![D-Link PowerLine Adapter AV500 Gigabit Mini Starter Kit (DHP-501AV) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51cWlw8O4GL.jpg) ![D-Link PowerLine Adapter AV500 Gigabit Mini Starter Kit (DHP-501AV) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/512pBkTWWbL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ BELIEVE IT OR NOT POWERLINE WORKS *by D***Y on February 26, 2013* When you are looking at either choice #1- Wireless which unless you spend many $ is spotty when you are watching videos or movies (i.e. streaming from internet, aka Netflix, etc)..... or a difficult #2 choice where you run Cat5 or Cat6 wire from your internet source (router) to where you want to use (i.e. TV in living room of Bedroom, computer in office or another bedroom) A lot of work and often a lot of $ to achieve. ............. consider this as option #3 which personally have been using for over six years, five with another product and one year with this one (the other still worked but internet provider blaming their problems on the older powerline, I bought a new one (buy at least 200 mnps and 10/100/1000 if possible) ...........

The throughput is much better, on it, 500mbps vs 65, BUT it would not extend the network nearly as far as the one would. Ended up going back to the old one at my client's location and now using the d-link model at home where it works great, much faster than the wireless extender I was using before, 4x the speed! I was transferring files between computers at 1mb/s or less. now it is around 4mb/s or greater, hit almost 7mb/s. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fi/products/1279919-d-link-powerline-adapter-av500-gigabit-mini-starter-kit-dhp](https://www.desertcart.fi/products/1279919-d-link-powerline-adapter-av500-gigabit-mini-starter-kit-dhp) --- *Product available on Desertcart Finland* *Store origin: FI* *Last updated: 2026-10-01*
