I got my order in the mail a day before the delivery estimate. My room is upstairs and the router is downstairs and I don't want to run an ethernet cable through the house, so these things were my top choice.
It was laggy and unreliable. So I ordered this because I was tired of using a Wireless Networking Adapter for my Xbox360.
Xbox Live works like a charm using these things. I ordered two of this to connect my Xbox360 to Xbox Live and right now it is working fantastic.
Installing the powerline adapters were extremely easy and I was up and running in just a matter of minutes. The shipping was also unbelievably fast.
I am one satisfied customer.
These units are highly portable and you get an internet connection that is much faster than wireless.However, they tend to overheat and hang up (the lights flash quickly even when no data is being transferred) when used intensively. This is especially true for video applications.Whenever I use them for a videophone call, I unplug them for at least 30 minutes to make sure that they start out cool. If the call degardes badly, often unplugging for a few minutes solves the problem.
LLousy reseller - never shipped waited a month before I contacted them. won't use again.
I've been using these for a couple of years now. I love the fact that I can simply purchase another one, plug it into any spot in my house, and have instant ethernet capability. In my house wireless wasn't working too well so I needed another solution and this was it. I have no complaints and have had no technical problems using these.
After struggling with wireless for 5 years I couldn't believe that setting up a network could be this fastand easy.It took me longer to cook a bag of popcorn in the microwavethen it did me to get everything working.I only have been using it for 2 months but so far I haven't hadany problems with it.Now there is one bad point. The adapters have bright blue led lightsthat will illuminate a whole room. So it may not be a good ideato use them in rooms that you will sleep in.
