Provides the solid connection my wireless setup was failing to do. Having moved to a new apartment my only initial option was wireless. Although I'm able to connect at 54Mb/s the wireless connection in my office just wasn't cutting it with frequent disconnects and slow transfer speeds.
Now, I've heard of Ethernet over Power (EoP) before, but never had I thought about using it until now. After reading up on the technology I wasn't any more assured about this technology than before I started. Reviews from various sources were completely mixed. I c...

Should have been advertised as "12Mbit/sec". That's 14% efficiency. I'm conflicted as to how many stars to give it because it does work, it's pretty cool, but performs WAY BELOW the stated speed, so then I'd have to say that it doesn't work as it should.
I'm getting 12Mbits/sec throughput (10 foot distance between wall plugs (upstairs/downstairs))
Let's calculate:
12Mbps / 85Mbps * 100% = 14% efficiency. How long would you last in your job/company if you were only 14% efficient?!
Now, if Actiontec had advertised this device ...

gives 4 ports at no extra charge. Tech Level: high
Ownership: more than 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: no heating issues. quite fast. unlike specified in the manual it also works with plug connected to the internet router and the base connected at the point where you might not have a separate router but it gives you 4 ports at your other location in this setup.
Cons: not fast enough to stream mpeg-2 but still fast enough to watch everything for...

Works as advertised This thing just works. I hooked up one to my Linksys router and plugged it in, and gave another one to my wife to use with her laptop. She loves it. She can plug in anywhere in the house and surf away. No setup or special software, just plug and play with XP and the Linksys. Then I got another adapter to hook up the xbox360 by the big screen so we could play online. No Problems! It also works with my Dish Network DVR. I checked the download speed over roadrunner and it does 8Mbps on downloads. ...
