Awesome network solution

"I don't normally write reviews - too lazy I guess; but this product rocks! My daughter and son were on our home wireless network with moderate to poor connectivity. Since their poor connectivity really did not affect me, my wife and I are hard wired (Ethernet) into our Linksys Wireless G 802.11g router, I could live with it; if that makes me a bad Dad - so be it. And, frankly they did not know any better, any..." Read Full Review »

Two caveats to be very wary of

"I like the product but beware of the following two caveats: 1) Since the ethernet jack included in the product is 100Mb/s you are never going to achieve the 200Mbs stated speed. 2) It is NOT compatible with other Homeplug products - and this includes Actiontec's own 14Mb/s and 85Mb/s products. I have 4 85Mb/s Actiontec adapters and this product was unable to create a link with them. This problem has been confir..." Read Full Review »

Very stable/reliable, but max speed drops with distance

★★★★☆

4.0

"So I did my own benchmarking of this product just yesterday. The conclusion overall is that the product is stable, but the 200Mbps is a wildly optimistic speed.

For all my tests, I used one piece of software: Aida32. It runs a point-to-point network speed test, and gives you max, min and average tra …" Read Full Review »
