I purchased the following units recently and just tested them today:

It's a bit quirky to configure, but Fyodor covers the things you need to change quite well. The only other thing I did was to turn off upnp in the advanced settings.

There's a screen where you can monitor the connection between moca units in Mbps. I connected the 2 I purchased with a 10 ft cable and then added a coupler and a second cable for a total distance of 15ft and had a solid 630Mbps connection being reported. I used iperf to check the connection and it would transfer just under 500Mbps--a huge jump from anything I've been able to achieve over powerline for around the same price. There's a little more configuration involved, but you also get a built-in 4 port switch and ac access point on each side for the price.

Overall, I'm really happy with the results and can't wait to deploy them. I originally thought these 2.0 bonded, but they're quite fast even non-bonded. Good bang for the buck.
