No need to run extra wires around your home or office

Just plugs into any standard electrical wall socket

Can extend the range of your wireless network

Low cost compared to getting contractor in to run extra cables

No drilling of walls or need to run CAT5 cables throughout your home or office

Very reliable homeplug units from a leading manufacturer

Compatible with other manufacturers that meet the official homeplug adapter standards

Contains integrated network switch and has 3x gigabit ethernet ports on output side

Saves having to buy an additional network switch at end of run if you have a few wired devices

If you are capable of running the CAT5 cabling yourself, these can be more expensive

4 output ports may not be enough for some folks, in that case you would need to buy an additional network switch
