Cons: -no connection strength indicator-fairly expensive
Pros: -steady connection-easy setup Comment:
I bought this to hook up my PS3/Xbox360 and it works fine for this purpose. Probably wouldn't use it for hardcore purposes, but it is pretty good at what I'm using it for. Only thing I have against it is the stand is pretty flimsy and doesn't keep it upright very well. |

Cons: . Negoiating at 100Mb but yielding only 2MBytes/sec ( YMMV on electrical wiring ). Negoitates 10Mb when the circuits are further away ( eg: 1st floor to 2nd floor ). Encryption sync forces you to stay with this brand. flimsy plastic stands. price
Pros: . consistent speed, stable connection. AC Plug has extension cord so that it only blocks/uses one outlet.. Built in Hub/Switch Comment:
Decided to try this to replace my flaky wifi-g as I do not have the option to wire my place with cat5/6 cables. It is much better in than my wifi as it provides a consistent transfer speed and does not drop. I am happy with this.Seems to be reliable/stable at 2MBytes/sec (filetransfer) going from Circuit A to Circuit B in my house on same floor on my PCs. Within one adapter is a built in Hub/Switch( I got 10MBytes per second for a file transfer while using 6ft cat5 cables ).The box packaging forces you to rip the box. Encryption setup is like how you would do it for your XB controller; no software; that makes it easy but most likely locks you to this brand; I would have preferred to set the encryption myself.

Cons: - Advertised speed is too much exaggerated (200Mbps??) I get one tenth of that only (~20Mbps). Some plugs perform even worse (
Pros: - Instant networking, no set up required, just plug the units in- Connection never drops Comment:
If you want to have a solid network connection without any signal drops, the kit may be for you. For Internet browsing and SD video streaming, it works well. I would say that the kit performs slightly better than a 10 base T network and on par with my wireless G router. Don't expect to get high speed file transfer. |
I just linked this from my PC via HTPC & PS3.The installation was pretty easy and straight forward.The only problem I had was I wasn't able to connect if it I connect through surge bars. Otherwise I was pretty satisfied with the product.
