I can't comment on the differences between 3.0 and the earlier versions. The kids still enjoy playing and having new character sets to choose from. I have had a few occasions of glitching, leading to the game needing to be exited and restarted. This version, like earlier versions, tends to be very time-consuming when it comes to saving progress and exiting. Overall, though, the kids like it, and that was the idea in the first place.

I bought the product(s) because I have moved into a larger house with 2nd floor and basement, a little too spread out for the wifi to fully cover. That and the fact that my PS3's have gone a little wonky and even when right next to the modem/router, they seem to have no ability to detect the signal. THANKS SONY! Anyway...this product seemed like a good idea. I was initially under the impression that they picked up the wifi signal and amplified it and it looked like you could also run ethernet through it, which my devices seemed to want.
I had to buy a second pair. I didn't realize that the first one connects to the modem/router and plugs into the outlet (not a surge protector!), and then the second one is for the actual device you need access for, gaining its signal from the outlet connection as opposed to "wifi" I guess. That means that wherever you have an outlet, you can get internet access. NICE.
Since I needed help in two locations, I bought a second set. Both of the devices running through these adapters work without difficulty and I have an extra one ready to go when needed.
So, the product itself works great. You need to take into account how it actually needs to be set up, that you will gain access for one device/location with one set, but that you can add two more devices/locations with a second set.
I'm just glad my devices will actually work in their current locations.

Was planning to buy the 8' Insignia cords that I have for other devices, but I guess they are phasing those out. These were the same brand, a little shorter, but adequate, and on sale, so I gave them a shot. They worked. So I guess they've got that going for them.
Hard to be disappointed in a cheap product that does the job.
I'm trying super-hard though.

I opted for this MacBook Pro due to it being on sale, and because I chose compatability with my other devices over price. I am continuing to learn the ins and outs of the machine, but have been pleased thus far. It is an attractive piece of equipment with no flaws to speak of thus far, only my own personal limitations as I adapt to the new interface. I am a fan of all that you can do with variations of fingers on the touchpad. Time will tell if it was worth the overall price.

The cover and the trailers sell this movie as the love story that it basically is, but what made the film work for me was the relationship between the young man and his father.

I on the other hand LIKE Lego Batman. Like all other Lego games, it is funny, entertaining and always leads to my 5 year old needing to hunt me down because he can't figure out what to do, followed by his getting upset at me for taking too long and hogging the controller.

What's great about it: Simple set up. Great results.
What's not so great: Beep with each volume adjustment.
These have been great. I only had the earpiece for my PS3 and had been wanting an actual set of headphones. Once the special price offer arrived, I jumped on it. I use these mainly for watching movies without disturbing others in the household, and for playing games that are less "kid-friendly" in the language department. Thus far, the product has met all expectations.

How many adapters can be used at once?

If you already have a pair of these in use, can another pair be used only as "receivers" and/or combined with other power line adapters? I'd like to set up another wired, and one wired/wireless hub
Yes.

The first set has one adapter to connect to the modem/router and one to connect a device. I had to buy a second set because I had 2 devices that I needed to hook up, and I didn't realize that I would only be able to use one adapter from the first set.

Both adapters that are used to hook up devices (one from the first set and one from the second) are working fine. Just plug it in like the first one. And I have one more adapter ready to use when needed.

Using the NETGEAR - Powerline Ethernet Adapter

We are going to use the NETGEAR Ethernet Powerline Adapter to connect our router to the
ROKU 3. The router (next to the computer) is separated from our TV by two rooms ... almost
75 feet.
Do you have any suggestions?
To my understanding and experience using the products in our house, the distance itself doesn't matter. The first adapter is connected to the modem/router via ethernet and to a power outlet (not a surge protector). The next adapter is plugged into an outlet near your device and connected via ethernet cable. It works through the house's electrical system. That's what "boosts" or transmits the signal. As long as you have an outlet, you can have signal. I bought a second set so that I could have a second device with ethernet internet access.

They all work fine.
