Pros: small foot print, allot of USBs

Cons: Down Grading 8 to 7, if you do not understand the bios - you will have trouble getting rid of 8. Would have purchased the version with windows 7, after placing order - the PO was rejected for lack of stock. Had to buy this one with 8 and spend the time to dump 8, cost extra $$$. Will not work with XP, just hangs at OS install - system too new.

Pros: all of these units are really plug and play, they find the other end quickly and work flawlessly. As long as you read the instruction and/or kinow how they work. They must be on the same electrical circuit. Most house are and it is no big deal. Can also be used in conjunction with a hub or swicth. Solid performance.

Cons: The wireless protion required a bit of technical know-how, it is seen as two devices, one for the line connection (ethernet) and another as a wireless access point.

Other Thoughts: any device works as design, not as you expect - read the description and research the devices at manufacturer's website. DO NOT GUESS when it comes to technology, your will mostly be disappointed. (read the cons on other reveiws)
