G.hn technology does not work
on April 19, 2017
Posted by: FooBear
Verified Purchase:Yes
In my experience, this product was inoperable. After researching G.hn technology, it sounds great and I never found any caveats about the limitations it might have. The devices seemed simple enough to install and setup. And they worked fine as long as they were all on the same power strip. But when one was deployed on the other side of the room, it only indicated a weak signal and did not link at all when in a different room. Since the extenders only have blinking multi colored lights, it is hard to determine what the problem was. But I suspect the age of the house wiring, the materials involved and sources of interference factor into whether this technology can really function in individual situations. I never saw this discussed anywhere in the product literature or reviews. I contacted a Geek Squad for assistance, but they just referred me to Arris' support number (which you can find at their website), When I called that number, I got a message that Arris support was offline (during normal US business hours) and someone tried to offer me a Walmart gift card. My advice, don't get burned by this product. Try something else.

Connect smart TVs or gaming consoles by adding Ethernet connections with this ARRIS SURFboard wired network extender. It uses Gh.n technology to tap your home's electrical system and extend the coverage of the network. This ARRIS SURFboard wired network extender doesn't receive interference from other technology, and it will not decrease overall data flow through the channel.
