Netgear Powerline 1200 review Expert’s Rating Our Verdict Powerline adapters are brilliant for making fast and simple home networks, and the Netgear Powerline 1200 models passed our speed and set up tests with ease.

EE Harrier review: 4G and a full-HD screen under £200 Expert’s Rating Our Verdict At £200 EE’s Harrier offers 4G connectivity, a great 5.2in full-HD IPS screen and the promise of Wi-Fi Calling. For many people that will make it an excellent deal.
