What's great about it: Easy set up
What's not so great: Could be cheaper but worth the money
Using this for the bluray in our second floor bedroom. The wireless router is down in the basement and we get a great signal. You just plug it in and go! Just make sure you don't plug either one in a power strip, they need to be plugged into a wall outlet, as it won't work. I found that out the hard way.

Take it out of the box, plug it in. Run the cable to the router. Take the twin, and do the same, running the cable to my TV. No worries. Netflix HD all day.
I have had no network interruptions, no problems at all. My wireless wasn't strong enough to give me as good a signal as I needed in the back of the house. Using this, I may as well be plugged directly into my router.

What's great about it: Easy setup
What's not so great: Could use another port, but I'm still happy!
My plan was to buy the dual band wireless adapter for my Xbox 360, but my local bestbuy was sold out. The salesman told me about this Netgear product...WOW! First, my Xbox is downstairs in my living room and my router is on the opposite side of the house. Second, plug and play...that's it. Plug it in an outlet and hook up the cables and you're done. My xbox360 has no problems online, even streaming Netflixs is good. Using this is like having my router right next to my Xbox. Great product, great job Netgear.

What's great about it: Easy to use
What's not so great: be clearer about how to use
works great. easy to set up. they probably could be clearer that you should plug item directly into wall plug (not extension cord or surge protector) .Otherwise worked perfectly.
am using it currently on my
lg surround sound blu-ray player. 3 months no problems
I would recommend this to a friend!

Performance was very slow and I returned it to by a $50 wireless adapter from Microsoft that is specific for the Xbox and it worked flawlessly.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Very easy to setup and faster than wireless-g.
I got this instead of going with a wireless adapter for my Xbox 360 because there seems to be some interference on my wireless network. So my hope was this would be more stable, and that turned out to be exactly the case. It runs just as fast and is just as reliable as hard-wiring the Xbox 360 to my router.
Installation was very simple, just plug each box into an electrical outlet near the equipment (console/router) and run the included ethernet cables to the device. No software to install and the device sees it as a cabled network (not a wireless network).
Just be aware that unlike a wireless adapter, this will use up one of the RJ-45 ports on your router/switch.
I would recommend this to a friend!
