I purchased this device in November to extend better coverage to my basement. I liked the additional ports on the device and figured I would hard wire my Xbox and playstation. The device was pretty simple to setup, then again I work in IT. When the device works properly the connection speeds are decent and I don't have any problems connecting other devices to it. However when the extender sits idle for a day or so it drops it's connection and I have to reboot. The extender connects to a Linksys E6400, I've tested the Linksys and it works like a champ, It's time to return it for a replacement.

I did not have a problem connecting and the receiver is about 12 feet away. I did however have a problem with the sound lag but was able to adjust that. The setup was a snap. My only knock is the length of the speaker cables provided. They are about 2 feet long, not nearly long enough. No problems with interference, my wireless router is near by. Sound quality is good for a wireless setup, it will no be the same as a hard wire connection. Overall it's a great solution if you don't want to have wires all over your great room. Other than that I thought the price was a little steep.
What's great about it: Easy to connect. No interference either. Good range. Good sound quality.
What's not so great: The cables provided are way too short. A little pricy.
