Customer Review: This product rules!! End of story.
Summary: 5 Stars
Ever try to network multiple computers, games, devices, etc. through your router wirelessly, but find yourself often troubleshooting inconsistent wireless performance? Well, this product is for you.
The product effectively bridges your router to your devices via the ethernet connections. After connecting a "receiver" to your devices, and a "transmitter" to your router, the digital signals from your router actually travel through the electrical circuits in your house, then inputs to your devices via the ethernet jacks. The product, therefore, "wires" your router connection to the devices, and let's face it, wired connections will win out over wireless for reliability any hour, any day.
I'll explain my setup and maybe you can envision similar applications. I have both a Mac mini and an Apple TV connected to my Plasma HD TV in my living room. My router, and iMac computer housing all media content (music, movies, and photos) resides in our office area about 80 feet away, through multiple doors. Sure, I can get the internet on my living room TV via the Mac mini, and can stream media from my office iMac to the Apple TV both wirelessly, but the consistency and strength is less than desired. Music may stream "OK", but hiccups are common. Movies or other video signals, like video chatting, will stream here and there, but the stream is more often than not interrupted by influences on the wireless signal (There are many, like competing signals in the neighborhood, etc.)
To increase the consistency of performance I tried this product. The "transmitter" is connected to my Fios router and plugged into an electrical outlet in the office area. The "receiver" is connected to both the Apple TV and Mac Mini in the living room via the ethernet ports, and plugged into an electrical outlet in the living room. These connections result in my devices being immediately recognized by the network, thereby allowing me do all sorts of fun things without any of the common interruptions encountered when operating wirelessly. This includes video chatting via Skype or iChat via the Mac Min (with my buddy's images filling up the big screen TV with voices coming through my surround sound speakers...too cool). Anything internet on the Mac mini now works with blazing speeds, and all media content from the iMac in the office streams effortlessly to the Apple TV.......with NO interruptions!
The product does haves the one caveat that the 1 star reviewers have pointed out. That is, the "transmitter", and "receiver" both need to be plugged into sockets on the same electrical circuit. That could be an issue all depending on your home specifics. If that is a problem in your home, I would consider calling in an electrician to see if your particular sockets could be rewired to be put on the same circuit. This could be expensive, but it might be worth it, if you REALLY want to eliminate those annoying hiccups of running wirelessly.
A very nice product....
