"This is the answer!"

My home office is on the second floor of our house while my home entertainment system and XBOX 360 are in the basement. I spent no less than an entire day to get the Xbox to hook into my wireless network so I could have Xbox Live, but to no avail. Th

Good product

Product works as promised. Internet speeds are shaky though - A receiver plugged in very close to the transmitter shows almost no drop in speeds. However another receiver plugged in the second floor shows almost a 50% drop in speeds. In any case, since I started with cable broadband internet...

Poor Performance

While this product did provide connectivity, its performance was quite bad where I needed the connectivity -- the other side of the house. If plugged into the same room, it was pretty good... but I was solving for a remote location in the house that does not get great wireless signal. It did...

"This is Awesome!"

Awesome. I was thinking about how to run some Cat 5 from ny 2nd story to my basement. Instead of figuring out how in the world I would find a space to get from one level and down two, I thought I would give this a try. It worked right out of the

Just doesn't work - get the AV modules instead!

The Powerline HD modules never really worked well. Occasionally we would get a couple of hours of reasonable bandwidth out of them, but generally they just barely squeezed out a connection between them, and our house isn't large. I was considering rewiring the walls for Cat5e cable, but instead...
