As per previous post comment.

Just in case.

The picture for the powerline equipment is showing the "Continental 2 pin type plug" not the UK standard 13 amp plug.
So if anyone is interested in it, you may want to ask for further information.

****************
edit:
On closer inspection of the other pictures, it is showing the UK 13 amp type plug.

good spot OF I hadnt noticed that in the pic

According to the specifications, the model no they are selling is a XEB1004-100UKS and all the other photos seem to show the UK plug correctly.


At a guess, theyve probably grabbed  standard netgear stock photos and not noticed themselves :/
That particular photo seems to be for Model XEB1004-100NAS which is the one with the North American plug?
& XEB1004-100ISS seems to be the one with Continental plug. (IEC Standard)

Since they are quoting model XEB1004-100UKS it should be OK.

I think the only caveat would be that this is 85Mbps (still better much than 14Mbps model) which should be more than fine for internet and gaming streaming etc.  
But the latest model is 200Mbps if you want to future proof your setup for Home content across your LAN & HD.
