Customer Rating:      Summary: The future of networking is here! Comment: I needed a way of getting my ps3 connected to the internet with a decent router or someting of that variety. This is perfection! all i can say is, the future looks bright for solowise!
Customer Rating:      Summary: worth it!! Comment: I have now been using one of these for three days, and have noticed a marked improvement on my download speeds compared to the wireless network I was using.
I was a bit sceptical about this product, but after reading the numerous 5* reviews I took the plunge and i'm glad I did.
I have a Netgear Router and for a moment I was considering going for the Netgear version of this. Word of advice.. DON'T!! you can save a good £10 with this with no quality lost. Like most people say buy at least 2 of these, amazon do a 2 pack bundle which is slightly cheaper
Customer Rating:      Summary: Works with Macs! Comment: Bought a pair of these to network an imac G5 and MacBook. Plugged them into my Speedtouch router and they worked straight away with no setup. Attached an airport express and that also worked first time. My wife plugs in her Windows laptop and it works brilliantly. A really great product and extremely portable. Highly recommended.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Simple to use - a GREAT product Comment: Having just moved to a new house I spent quite a long time thinking about how to solve the problem of my main phone socket being too far from my computer - it was either buy a wireless adaptor for my pc or a longer internet cable and have that trailing all over my front room.
Then a friend of mine suggested getting a homeplug - I was a little unsure but he assured me they were great - and he was right!!
The set up is easy as pie and I have not noticed any drop in speed - I am now getting an extra pc in house which is going to be upstairs - so I will be buying a 3rd plug very soon.
Forget wifi adapters...this is so much better!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Very good but not 85MBPS =] Comment: Firstly i would like to say that this bit of kit is wonderful. Setup is a breeze plug in and done.
However the stated 85MBPS is massively off target. This piece of kit does not support my virgin media 20MB cable internet, it limits itself at 10Mbps. However the 250Mbps alternatives to this product are tried and tested to support my virgin media connection in my house.
On the downside these alternative products cost mega £££ more, and thus this product gets a 4 stars, it's great price wise. However it does not support my Virgin Media 20MB connection and for that it only gets 4 stars - The stated bandwidth is a far shot.
