Where To Buy ZyXEL DMA1100P HD Digital Media Theater with Built In 200 Mbps HomePlug AV Powerline Adapter

I bought a PLA401Kit, a PLA470 4-port, and a DMA1100 for my home setup. Hooking up the PLA401 near my broadband router was a cinch. To test the system, I ran into the other room and plugged in the 2nd PLA401...five seconds later my ethernet connection was recognized...WOW!

I installed the DMA1100 media server into the media room. This took a little longer to connect because I had to configure Windows Media Server but after about one hour of configuration I was listening to my MP3 collection, watching my digital movies and running a digital photo slide-show on my 111" projection screen all from my home office computer upstairs. I am also streaming HiDef movies over my broadband through the powerlines in my house; the whole thing is cooler than I ever could have imagined. I do have a few complaints though:

1. The new 1100 DOES NOT require an additional ethernet connection box like the old 1000 did. The 1100 is online once it's plugged into the outlet. I bought an additional box that I did not need because the diagram ZyXel provided was from the older 1000 model; confusing.
2. The remote control should be backlit. It's buttons are small and hard to see; backlight would help.
3. The system recognizes photos by their digital tags instead of their file location. I now have to mass tag my entire photo collection (3500+ photos) with tags.
4.The system is sometimes slow to respond because it inventories your entire collection with every remote click. I wish it had some onboard memory and could build some inventory files that would speed up access.

I also bought the PLA470 for my media room downstairs. The media room is the farthest spot away from my wireless router and neither my netbook nor my ROKU box (streaming Netflix) could pick up any signal in the room. I hoped the ZyXel system could get me online. This system works so well it literally brought a grin to my face. I chose the PLA470 because of it's 4-port connection. I plan to wire lines for my families notebook connections (yes we're online while watching movies). This setup allows all of us to be online at once downstairs.

I cannot recommend this system enough. It's so easy to set-up and use and it runs faster than I could have imagined.Get more detail about ZyXEL DMA1100P HD Digital Media Theater with Built In 200 Mbps HomePlug AV Powerline Adapter.
