Spend the extra money for the product that works immediately as you will save time and not have angst. Manufacturer Response:Valued Customer,We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you and would like to work w/ you directly to resolve this issue. Please e-mail us at "Sales@trendnet.com" , reference "New Egg Product Review" in the subject line and some one will contact you immediately. Thanks for your support of TRENDnet Products. from Newegg.com Cons: n/a Other Thoughts: i think everyone needs to check if the two outlets being used have the same Hot phase. every house that has 240v service has two hot phases (A & B, B & C, or A & C). (it is actually a 240 volt, center tapped transformer with the center tap being your neutral) if your two adapters are connect to outlets of opposite hot phases, then effectively your signal is probably having to travel all the way to the transformer and back. (that would add a good bit of unnecessary distance). from Newegg.com Other Thoughts: This is a pretty frustrating experience. I had a few dead spots in my house that I thought I would be able to cover, but I guess I should look for a different solution. I'll give TRENDnet a call and see if I can get this thing going, but if not ... unfortunately, they are going straight back to Newegg (who by the way rocks). from Newegg.com Got this under the Goldbox deal and also had a giftcard so was really cheap! Was skeptical at first as to how well it would work, setup took about 5 minutes, plugged and in I was all set! This device allows me to put my VoIP adapter in the living room so I can have a phone jack there and also connect my Dish Network Receiver and save $5 a month! Ready to buy again when the price drops to around 75. from Amazon.com So, the one thing you have to know. You don't need to install the software at all for these things to work, at least that is how it was for me. I just plugged one unit into a power outlet close to my router, hooked that baby up to my router and the other into a power outlet close to my NETGEAR FS105 ProSafe 5-Port 10/100 Desktop Switch, plugged the trendnet ehternet adapter into the switch, and then just hooked up my PS3 and Xbox 360 to the desktop switch. Both work great and the connection is now much more reliable than when I connected wirelessly through the PS3 to my router. from Amazon.com I use this to get to my XBMC connected, wireless G just isn't enough to push MPEG-2 from a DVD ISO on my freenas box. Fast enough for all HD streaming as well. Cons: Don't expect 200 Mbps- they really max out around 70 Mbps real world, though in rare cases it will be higher. Some units make noise. from Newegg.com I have a two-story house that was built in 1995. These adapters worked in each of the six outlets I plugged them into. I did not have a "circuit breaker" problem. from Amazon.com I have one connected to a computer replacing a long wireless connection and one connected to an access point providing better wireless coverage throughout my house. Cons: The setup is not totally intuitive. Other Thoughts: Setup requires a specific order to work:1st: connect one adapter to your router, enter a network name, save settings, and reboot. The adapter will show as "local".2nd: For each additional adapter (up to 16 according to the documentation--I have two right now), connect a computer with the software installed, enter the network name and the access code for the adapter connected to your router, save settings, and reboot. from Newegg.com I have problems with WiFi in my home, even using NetGear's RangeMax Wireless N, so I thought I'd try the new PowerLine AV ethernet. Similar LinkSys products using the new PowerLine AV standard were getting good reviews, but I spotted a sale on Trendnet's product at Amazon for $66. from Amazon.com Ethernet Adapter is a solid product and I have no complaints whatsoever. Extremely fast and capable. from Amazon.com
