My Slingbox functions great both on my network and over the Internet; very few problems streaming video so far. Gaming is great, though I noticed a poor ping and some lag when using the 360 and Slingbox at the same time, but let's face it, those are two very bandwidth-hungry applications. All of my switches/routers/adapters are 10/100, so there's no way I'd hit the advertised 200Mbps under even the most optimal circumstances. Overall I think these are overpriced by about $30, but unlike alot of powerline adapters out there, these seem to be the most headache-free. from Amazon.com When I first saw this product on my vine page I was not 100% sure what it was supposed to do but I thought it even tho it said it worked on connecting gaming systems wirelessly to your router that it might work with setting our computer network up as we had one computer that would just not work with our current router. My husband was the one to hook the kit up and within minutes it was pulg and play! He was deliriously thrilled that it solved the nagging problem we were having keeping my son's computer connected to the network as the router kept dropping it and would not allow it to print but since we have set up the Actiontec we have not had a single problem. The set-up was quick and simple - even non-tech minded people could work with this product and get the desired results. from Amazon.com This Actiontec Powerline Adapter Kit provides a fast and reliable network connection for locations in your home where wireless is not fast and reliable, or for computers or game consoles that don't have a wireless adapter. It comes with two adapters and two 6' ethernet cables. from Amazon.com I'm sure the PS3 and GameCube will have NO issues with using the PowerLine in the same socket as the console, but if you have an XBOX 360 like me, it might be a good idea to use completely separate wall outlets to be safe. The PowerLine works perfectly for me and I will not deduct any stars due to my issues with my 360. It's certainly not Actiontec's fault that the XBOX 360 is so unreliable and breaks at a moment's notice even if you look at it wrong. from Amazon.com 3. If you buy extra adapters, they extend your network. There is still room for improvement, but not enough to recommend against buying the Actiontec MegaPlug in most circumstances where you're pretty certain of your network's security. What are those drawbacks? from Amazon.com The Actiontec MegaPlug is the perfect solution for adding an extra internet outlet around the house. I tried this setup with my XBOX 360 system and Laptop, both worked great and there was no real noticeable difference in speed when compared to a wireless setup. from Amazon.com This is actually an interesting little product. The Actiontec HLE200AV0-01GK MegaPlug 200 Mbps Powerline HomePlug A/V Gaming Adapter Kit (mouthful, isn't it?) works as advertised. You plug one end into the wall near your router, and the other near the target PC or console (if the case may be), connect cables and voila, instant network connection. from Amazon.com The 'Actiontec HLE200AV0-01GK MegaPlug 200 Mbps Powerline HomePlug A/V Gaming Adapter Kit' is a fantastic solution to get wireless results without a wireless network in place. Using the home electrical system this is as simple as plug and play. from Amazon.com Also included was a configuration CD for changing the encryption key for even more network security. This step is completely optional. Two more important points: Actiontec claims this uses 128-bit AES security (vs. WEP or WPA), which up until recently was used to secure classified, top-secret government documents. from Amazon.com It took about 3 minutes to download a 117MB file. Pretty quick. It's important to note that the box itself says the 200Mbps touted are "Theoretical data throughput numbers... Actual data throughput of up to 90 Mpps seen in laboratory testing". from Amazon.com
