For best performance you really only want to have two or three of these plugged in at most. Any more and they will start stomping over each other and both bandwidth and reliably will suffer greatly.
It would be nice if these gizmos didn't try to constantly train their highest speeds and then drop-out for 20 seconds when it fails. I'd be much happier if they trained a reliable (but slower) speed and just stuck with it. And it would also be nice if they didn't try so blasted hard to deliver a single packet and wind up causing half a second of latency for everything running over the net. When it works:
ping -s 512 -i 0.1 -c 200 BLAH
200 packets transmitted, 200 packets received, 0.0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 1.182/20.302/492.494/53.516 ms
And when it decides its gonna retrain for no reason, boom, drop-out for 50+ packets.
200 packets transmitted, 141 packets received, 29.5% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 1.182/50.824/473.906/84.495 ms
The protocol that thinks long dropouts are a good idea sucks, honestly. It would work so much better if it just slowed down a little and didn't drop-out in the first place.
Update #1:
I dropped it down to 1 star. These things are just so freaking frustrating and unreliable! I'm convinced that the problem is in the firmware. The idiots who built this protocol and did the firmware for these things don't know what the heck they are doing. Packets can buffer for 50 seconds (I can literally get a ping response to a sequence number I sent 50 seconds previously). It causes self-inflicted packet storms even when it manages to retrain. Often its working perfectly (sub 5ms ping) and boom, for no reason it just stalls out completely and decides to retrain. That isn't power-line noise, that's the firmware deciding to do something stupid. What a piece of junk.
Update #2:
Mei Culpa! I found the biggest source of noise messing up these powerline ethernet devices so I'm going to pop my rating up to 3 stars. I still can't give it 4 or 5 stars. The culprit turned out to be a Winix Aircleaner. But here's the thing... sure it has an AC fan, but the fan was on ultra-low and no special cleaning elements were turned on. So it kinda annoys me that just one of these winix's managed to destroy the house network.
What I wound up doing was putting a fairly expensive Furman powerline filter on the Winix (thinking it might work in the opposite direction).. and it does! Now with Winix isolated, the house network is operating decently with these Comtrend devices.
So I think... generally speaking, all of these powerline ethernet devices are really sensitive to other stuff plugged into your house, and sometimes it is due to things you least expect. But all is not lost! If you can find the offending items a good power strip EFI filter can prevent them from blowing up the house powerline ethernet network.
Update #3:
Back down to 2 stars... one of the units 'crashed'... got into a non-working state where it left itself disconnected permanently, requiring the unit to be physically unplugged and plugged back in to return to a working state. But other than that, the Furman powerline filters on other noise sources in the house did the job.

The concept is brilliant. Take a Power over Ethernet plug and inject PoE to allow the connection of an IP camera (capable of PoE) to be placed easily around the house.
However after installation I have been getting multiple trips of the breakers involved in the circuit between the various powerline adapters.
On researching using powerline can effect the noise on the power cables causing certain breakers to trip.
I have removed the PoE specific units, and will be testing first without any - and then power <> powerline (without the PoE) to see if thats causing any issues.
