MODEL- WGXB102NA VENDOR- NETGEAR INC. FEATURES- 54 Mbps Wall-Plugged Wireless Range Extender Kit Receive Wireless Internet Access from any Power Outlet in Your Home. As home networking continues to spread and evolve at rapid speed, some users find that their wireless router does not reach all corners of their home, or that they would like to have their wireless network originate from a point of their choosing, rather than be tethered to the point where the Internet enters their home. Other users would rather have a wireless network where no product is on the floor, and no cables are visible at all. The WGXB102 allows the user to have their wireless network originate from the middle of their home, or from even the furthest extremity, with no cables visible. The kit consists of the XE102 Wall-Plugged Ethernet bridge and a WGX102 54 Mbps Wall-Plugged Wireless Range Extender. The XE102 connects to an existing wired or wireless router from any vendor, and the WGX102 can be plugged into any electrical outlet to create an area of wireless access. Includes Wall-Plugged Ethernet Bridge XE102, 54 Mbps Wall-Plugged Wireless Range Extender WGX102, XE102 Resource CD, WGX102 Resource CD, XE102 Installation guide, WGX102 Installation guide, Ethernet Cable, Warranty/Support information card, Readme Flyer. NOVEL Plug the XE102 into a wired or wireless router from any vendor, and then plug the WGX102 into any power outlet at your desired location to provide wireless access where desired. ATTRACTIVE A new wall-plugged form factor allows the user to have a full wireless network without any visible Ethernet cables, and without any floor or desk space occupied. The sleek platinum casing blends well into any home decor. -- SPECIFICATIONs -----------------------------------STANDARDS - 10 Mbps 10BASE-T; 20 Mbps full-duplex 10BASE-T; Homeplug 1. 0, 802. 11g wirelessINTERFACE - RJ-45NETWORK PORT - 10 Mbps twisted-pair RJ-45INDICATORS - XE102: 3 LEDs, Power, Homeplug, Ethernet WGX102: 3 LEDs, Power, Homeplug, WirelessREQUIREMTNS - Windows for Workgroups 3. 11 Windows 95, 98, 2000, Me, (drivers inside Windows XP), Windows NT 3. 51, 4. 0.

Good concept, Poor design

"[...]it will work across different circut breakers, but the outlets must come from the same panel box. This means that it SHOULD work anywhere in your average home. However, it doesn't allow for any kind of encryption on the network you're boosting and the reliability is horrible. Furthermore, the user-manual and setup guide are very poorly written with inadequate details where it counts. I would not recommend e..." Read Full Review »
