Easiest way to extend a network
Pros: This is a great device if you are trying to extend your home network, either wirelessly (AP plugged directly into your router via powerline) or just a direct connection via the powerline. Too many people try to extend their wireless networks by placing a repeater somewhere in the middle, but then all you are doing is relaying a weak signal. This device is pretty much Plug-and-Play. I am renting, so I do not have the luxury of running cables through the house, nor would I want to with this capability. It has been completely full-proof - full duplex and the lowest throughput I have experienced (even with the dryer, plasma TV, and dishwasher running) is 100Mb. Worth every penny!
Cons: Somewhat bulky
Overall Review: Because of the "Bonus Outlet" this device doesn't even use up available plugs. I plugged my Access Point (AP) directly into the Powerline adapter and can even move it from outlet to outlet if I need to move the AP to a different part of the house for some reason (say a picnic in the backyard - where I wouldn't normally leave the AP, but want to have it available during the picnic).
More than satisfied
Product was exactly as advertised. Good quality, fast delivery, well worth the price paid...overall a very smooth transaction.
