As with the Nano500 set, the 200 Mini adapters are finished in white high-gloss and feature the same three status LED's indicating power status, Ethernet connection and Powerline connection status. The vents around the adapters are a lot more subdued due to the larger size of these adapters over the Nano's and also the lower connection rate. Again we have Pick-a-Plug capability using the 3-colour status light and the same boundaries are used >80Mbps, >50 <80Mbps and <50Mbps. The theoretical maximum connection rate is 200Mbps. This is not full Duplex, meaning the device cannot send/receive at this speed and so only includes a 10/100 Ethernet port and not Gigabit like the Nano500's.

On the rear side we have the label detailing the model number, mac address and password - required if manually configuring security through the Powerline Utility.
Below we have a comparison between the Nano and Mini adapters:
