Customer Rating:      Summary: unusual set up worked perfectly Comment: I used two of these to connect my linux network server (the nslu29) and an old freecom 35 media player they worked perfectly out of the box, did not and indeed could not install any software and I can now watch my collection of Divx and mp3 files in my living room from the little server in a bedroom. Spot on
Customer Rating:      Summary: It works! Comment: Using these atm to stream music from media player to upstairs and also internet access for the playstation. They work so well, I can also stream high quality videos as well, something which was unreliable with wireless.
First installing them was as easy as plugging them in and turning on the power, they come with cat5e cables and the units themselves fit correctly into a double plug only restricting the power switch slightly.
A complete bargain!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Wish everything was as good and easy as this. Comment: After reading the reviews and a friend had recently fitted some Home Plugs, everyone seemed happy with them so took the plunge, ordered on the saturday 27th but an E-mail said delivery would be on Jan 5th, no worries there though they came on 31st. Opened the box put 1 Plug into socket and connected to a Router no problem, went upstairs same again connected Ethernet to Xbox360, switched Xbox on and Live came up straight away no problems at all. No lag which you can get with wireless, Overall an excellent and easy to fit product, early days but so far so good.
Customer Rating:      Summary: A note of caution Comment: I was unaware , until I purchased the homeplug that the circuit at the front of my home [a bungalow] is on a different ring to that at the rear.
The router is in the bedroom and the homeplugs were purchaed to connect a PS3 in the lounge.
After trial and error plus installing the utility from the disc, it was aparent that the homeplug was not recognised in the lounge.
The plug connected to the router also flashed with the red line conflict light.
I`m not sending them back, as I`m getting a good signal in my sons room.
He currently has a wireless setup bit it is quite elderly, and I may swap for the homeplug.
Before you buy , check that your ring main is on one circuit.
I suspect that my home is wired this way as the garage is below the lounge , hence the garage is on a separate ring to the house , and the electrician connected the longe circuit to the garage one - not good!
It is a good product, but it should be clearer that this is a possible limiting factor , and I`m sure it isnt uncommon.
Looks like I will have to try the wireless route.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Simple and a great connection speed Comment: Plugged this in out of the box and was up and running in 2 mins, its a lot faster than the wireless connection and even thou i have all sorts of ring mains running thru my house, it works perfectly, so far.. bearing in mind i've used it for a couple of hours now, great product, highly reccomended!
