Looking to try ethernet over powerline to stream 4K video from my Plex server to my Nvidia Shield. Anyone able to recommend the cheapest decent model?

So, it appears the TL-PA8010PKIT only have 100Mbps ethernet, so they wouldn't be suitable? I'll see if I can find some that have Gbps ethernet
I always use dlink 308AV. You can buy pairs of them for $40 on eaby

Test results
At the throughput speed at 25 meter test the TP-Link TL-PA8010 kit takes the lead with a speed of 511 Mbit/s,https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/428167
This deal features the PA9020p kits for $117+ $8-ish postage then $40 Woolworths rewards card via redemption, so effectively $85-ish.
I purchased this kit and it works pretty good (my older powerline kit didn't work in old apartment), but I cant give you speed test sorry as I'm at work.
Thanks - picked this up for $110 including shipping, including a $40 Woolies card. Nice bargain, hope it works for my situation.
PS - Wish the Shield was still on sale, I paid $329 for mine last week at Hardly Normal :(
The TP-Link ones are well reviewed and reasonably cheap (TL-PA8010PKIT) ($130ish). For 4K you're definitely going to need the gigabit connection so don't get fooled by the "500Mbps max speed" on the box when it only has a 10/100 LAN port.
