Brought the product a month ago. It was defective and I had to request for a replacement. The return was easy and I had my replacement in a week. This kit is easy to install and works great with streaming movies.

5 of 5 has worked 3 months flawlessly Wednesday, October 08, 2008
TrickyHead from Seattle, WA  
Wireless doesn't work too well in my apartment. Lots of wireless interference and network drops. thinking in powerline as an alternative solution never failed me. This Kit was literally Plug and Play, and easy to install. up and running in 2 mintues; and for 3 months now flawlessly, it never froze. With it's 200 mbps it's also perfect when streaming movies, or listening to music. I use it with my Xbox live as well, no complains. the only drawback, for me, it's Bright white color; but who cares!!!

5 of 5 Made my wireless work Wednesday, April 02, 2008
A Customer from Atlanta, GA  
Good for network extension in case you don't have the budget to wire your home. I used a pair of these powerline adapters to extend my wireless service. I think they are very easy to install and works well in my home. I connect one adapter to the cable modem and one adapter to my wireless router. The router is in the hallway so I can cover all the bedrooms and patio. The easiest part is to connect the powerline. C and configuring the wireless router to talk to oher computer actually takes more effort.
