Works as advertised... as long as you are on the same circuit breaker...
By Benjamin M. Bethel
I purchased this item in November and it works as promised - plug one into one outlet, and another into another outlet, wait a few seconds, and then connect your ethernet cable to each one and you're up and running in no time. No software to install, no crazy configurations, it's as easy as pie.Now for the caveat - if you're getting this, make sure that both outlets are connected to the same power subpanel in your building. I own a hotel and originally bought these to extend the range of our wireless network - I wanted to add another wireless access point at the other outlet. However, since each of my guest rooms has a separate breaker panel, this will not work between guest rooms in my hotel. At my house - I live in a high rise - this works fine from one end of the house to the other... and works very well. But I tested this between a neighbor's condo and my condo, and since they're on separate circuit breaker panels, it wouldn't work between the two units.So, long story short: works great in a house, or large apartment, or anywhere that both outlets are under the same circuit breaker panel....

Home networking couldn't be easier, or more unreliable!
By GymBob
First off I'm an IT professional so I'm very critical of networking gear. These powerline adapters worked exactly as advertised. No configuration was necessary, just plug them in and they work. I gave only 4 stars because the link speed is not what I hoped for. I have 3 devices in my house and only one is running at full speed, I'm sure it is because of my 25 year old wiring but 1 one of the devices is running at slower speeds than 802.11g wireless. Another reason is the price, I think they are charging about double what they are worth, but that's my opinion of course.Dec. 28, 2008I would lower the rating to 1 star if I could. I was a bit hasty in reviewing this item. I eventually had to return it. The powerline devices started acting up after a week or so. The speeds got even lower and they completely locked up a few times. I had to remove them from the power plugs just to get them to work again. This started to happen on a regular basis, so I just got fed up and returned them.

By Ahjishan
Since I have a Samsung blu-ray player, I have the ability to download Netflix instant streaming of movies. However, the broadband connection needed through my computer is in a different room. How to solve the issue? After a lot of research, the Netgear HDXB111 Powerline HD Plus Ethernet Adapter Kit was the perfect way to set up my system.I have one of these neat adapters plugged into the wall near my computer (connected through the broadband router); then the other adapter is plugged into a wall near and connected to the blu-ray player. Wow! The adapters "talk" to each other and I can instantly stream movies to my TV from Netflix. Issue solved!
