Cons: - Glossy finish is a dust magnet- Speeds less than advertised
Pros: - Easy setup- Works well and connection seems very stable- 3 ports!- Price when on sale for $65.00 Comment:
Overall I'm very happy with this device. The setup was a snap, just plug one end into your router and the other in the room you want to feed. All 3 ports grabbed router IPs and connection is around 60 - 80Mbits. I live in an older house so I was worried that I might have issues, but so far everything is rock solid.I'm using it to stream 1080P high bit-rate video from my server to my WDTV and even on the highest bit-rate video at full 1080P no stutters at all. I would recommend this for anyone wanting faster than wireless without having to run cable. |

Cons: Connects at 100Mbps.
Pros: Simple setup, Price Onsale, 3 LAN ports, 2 wall plug useable. Comment:
Simple, remove from box, pluggin each adapter, attach cable, press encrypt button on each adapter, done.How easy is that! I suppose if you didn't have a free wall socket handy then this would be a factor since these require this (no surge bar connection).My connection showed 100Mbps but still transfered anything faster than my wireless connection as did 1080p play seamless. |

Cons: None so far... Data transmission light is a bit vague however.
Pros: So easy to setup, 3 ethernet jacks on 1 unit. Price. Look. Performance Comment:
Just installed these and wow is it amazing. I was going to buy the usb wifi dongle for the blu-ray suround sound system but at 70 bucks plus tax for my already congested network. I decided to get these... a little bit skeptical on how well they would perform but I have to say it's doing its job, and doing it well!To start with setting it up was about as easy and opening a door. Two units one next to the router the other where I want the ethernet jacks to be. Since my router is plugged into a socket that was easy to find. Same with the setup in the living room. Everyhting else is hooked up to the surge bar so perfect. Before I even blinked they showed connected. Plugged in all three ports(wii, ps3 & blu-ray home theatre) The router recognized them and gave them all seperate IP addresses and off I went.It seemed to take the units some time to get organized as the "low bandwidth high bandwidth light" stayed red for a while then went green. Seems to be pretty good throughput and no drop offs, watched 5 .mkv hour long shows tonight without a single hiccup.I can see these units being tempermental in older houses. I can see they can get upset with a lot of noise in the pwer but newer houses should be fine. As new building codes require microwaves, fridges, seperate breakers the noise being generated on a particular breaker should be pretty low as well as less plugs on a breaker overall.Overal super easy to setup. Convienent as all hell. No setup or configuration needed. Seems to be a "works or doesn't work" kind of device and without major rewiring or exploratory surgery on your house to find out which jacks go where this unit will serve me well for years to come. The 200mbps is a bit of a stretch, regardless if it can even run at 200mbps I think it's pretty much bottlenecked at the 10/100mbps speed at which the unit can talk to the router. So that part sort of confuses me.Recommended! |

Cons: - Don't know yet
Pros: - I didn't install the CD software, plugin and it worked instantly. (though my friend had a problem, he needed to reset the adapters at the same time) Comment:
With hard wired, I got download speed around 15M, with Belkin powerline adapter, i still get around 14M download speed which I am very impressed. |

Cons: -more expensive than wireless-cables provided were a little short
Pros: -better than wireless-no connection drops-multiple connections Comment:
I had a wireless n card which was cutting out a lot so I decided to get this which has made a big difference as the connection does not drop anymore. I can also see a significant increase in performance over wireless. The cables that were provided were very short but I had extras so that wasn't a problem. I am very happy with this purchase. For the record it does come with 2 adapters. |

Cons: 4 foot ethernet cables where too short to reach from wall outlet to media player.
Pros: Easy setup. Fast enough for video. 3 ports meant no additional switch was required. Leaving radio waves for other devices. Comment:
Running just ethernet cable was not an option. Wireless N had too many dropped connections to nicely watch video, possibly due to separating floors and walls between router and media player. There are also more then half a dozen other visible routers locally, so I may as well leave the airwaves to other devices such as laptops that need to be more portable.The 3 ports on the Belkin adapter, allowed me to plug in a media player, blu-ray and networked TV, avoiding an extra switch, or just plugging in one at a time.As the adapter should be plugged into a wall socket, I ended up switching to 6 foot cables, which maybe a common situation for others. Had spare cables around.Searching the internet before purchasing, left me confused as to whether this was just an adapter or a full kill. It does have 2 adapters, one to connect to your router, and one for the remote location in your house. |
ordered this product on sale for $55, still expensive but you saved works to re run cables or wireless stuff.works great on my house, but sometime speed is pretty high, sometime it goes low. not good for online gaming, but enough for viewing web/music/video.
