What's not so great:?For longer runs (30 feet) the bandwidth speed is very slow. "With my wireless-G I achieved 3x faster speed. Using Roadrunner speed test (and less reliable C-Net) I achieved 6Mpbs with my wireless and around 2Mpbs with this product consistently. I actually bought 2 units and tested the second one just in case the first was defective. from Bestbuy.com This item is no longer for sale here, so I'll just be brief. I bought a XE104/XE102 pair, plugged one in at my cable router, plugged the other in ten feet away, and measured the speed. They weren't able to run the cable connection at full speed (14mbps), but pretty good. from Amazon.com This is the second Netgear wall-plugged bridge I've purchased. It works just like it's supposed to. from Amazon.com Purchased this item for on-line play with my XBox 360 based on lots of positive feedback from others, but I haven't had the same experience. Connected everything as instructed, both wall units light up as they should, but I get an error message when trying to access XBox Live. Called NetGear tech support, but the guy I spoke with had difficulty with English and was rather condescending (at least the bits and pieces I could understand). Really disappointed. from Amazon.com This works ok, but not as well as hoped for. But be warned -- the SEE IT NOW video link from THIS product shows truly wireless adapters. This is NOT one of those so I'm not sure why Netgear would show those in a video for a non wireless adapter. You plug this device into an outlet and then run an ethernet cable from the device to your PC/laptop. from Amazon.com We moved into a new one-level town home within the past year. Previously we had been using a wireless "g" router to send the internet signal from our house's basement (where the internet connection came in) to my wife's computer upstairs. This had worked fine for several years. from Amazon.com I tried everything I could to solve this problem and then someone recommended a wireless booster. After intensive searching I came upon this item. I called netgear and they also advised me to purchase this. After reading some of the reviews I was hesitant about the installation, people said that it took a long time. from Amazon.com The NETGEAR Powerline Network Bridge XE102 works perfectly. I have two of these devices, one for a desktop PC and the other for my laptop PC. from Amazon.com I already had some of the Netgear Ethernet Extenders, but I wanted to add some additional locations. The product did exactly what I had hoped for. from Amazon.com It worked for a day or two, then three green lights on the device started going off along with the internet access. I had to return this product twice (thinking the first time it was simply a defective device). Take a pass on this Netgear device! from Amazon.com
