This I would recommend to anyone who is looking at getting away from wireless technology. it is much faster offers speeds just like connecting directly to a modem or router.
I purchased this because we were having connection problems from one of the kid's bedrooms (not good for MMO's!). I just plugged them in as the instructions stated, and they connected to each other painlessly. Obviously the connection problems are now gone.
This kit is the cat's a$$. It works really well and provides the performance advertised. I installed the adapters at both ends of my 2700 sq ft home and get a consistant 166 mbps PHY rate. It solvd all my issues trying co connect my blue-ray player and xbox on 802.11g/n. I should have looked at this technology years ago.

I bought this to eliminate the wireless connection to my Blu-ray player, TV and Xbox in my living room. Wiring an Ethernet connection was going to be a bit painful.
Somehow I got lucky and the outlet that the each Powerline unit is plugged into is on the same electrical circuit (different floors even). So I get better than 190Mb/s.

Incredibly easy to set up and use. Acts like a 4 port hub at each end. Perfect for entertainment centre use as I hooked up my media centre, and three gaming consoles with one device. Plus I actually gained ports at my router rather than losing one. All around excellent experience.

i hooked up my xbox 360, appple tv, smart tv and htpc to this thing and stuck it in a corner. lag was gone, everything worked through my vpn and i never had a problem streaming media.
So far I have no complaints about this product. Used it to replace my Wireless setup and now I have a far more stable connection that wireless N ever provided.

The documentation with the units warns not to plug them into power bars. Sure enough, the connection is slow and subject to dropouts even if the adapter is plugged into the wall with a power bar in the same outlet. Power bars either are a sink for the powerline networking signals, or emit interference.
