The battle between HomePlug and HomeGrid to emerge as the de-facto powerline networking standard was fairly interesting between 2010 and 2013. However,despite silicon getting demonstrated at various trade shows, G.hn was unable to get a retail product out for a long time. This changed final summer, and when Comtrend introduced the PG-9172,a 1200 Mbps G.hn powerline adapter. In this review, we take a scrutinize at the performance of the Comtrend PG-9172, or how it compares to some of the HomePlug products already in the market. With Arris launching a suite of G.hn networking products under the RipCurrent branding final month,we also analyze whether G.hn is finally alert for retail prime time.
