Not perfect but does what you want,
By
This review is from: Netgear HDX101 Powerline HD (High Definition) Ethernet Adapter (Electronics)
I have 3 of these devices at home. One connects to my wireless router, another to a hub in the upstairs office whilst the last is plugged in behind my wall-mounted LCD,m connecting to a netgear media streamer. Using this setup means I get good wireless downstairs, full 16Mb broadband upstairs and lets me stream TV shows from upstairs via the netgear in Hi-Def. Setup was easy, done in 10 minutes using the supplied CD-ROM. From that moment it has all worked perfectly and whilst I don't think I'm getting 200Mb of bandwidth, I'm getting sustained video streaming and internet activity without ever skipping a beat. The only downside is the units are pretty big, with the cable sticking out of the lower right hand side which means you always want to plug it into the right-hand of a double socket. You also need to use proper wall sockets and not an extension. Another power socket gone eh!

Ring mains/Curcuit breaker problem with this HDX101,
By
This review is from: Netgear HDX101 Powerline HD (High Definition) Ethernet Adapter (Electronics)
See the following review which I think would be usefull/apply for most people.
http://techdigs.net/content/view/74/46/ For most households there are 2 ring mains (upstairs plugs and downstairs plugs) This product works really well if you want to network via EOP using one ring main (ie downstairs only or upstairs only). You will know if you have 2 ring mains in your house by the circuit breaker box/fuse box (ie you can switch power off independantly to different parts of your house)) The problems comes when you want to network across the 2 ring mains - expect speeds of up to 4mbps if you do. this would be enough for data access only - not good for streaming HD or DVD. I have had to get a refund for these unfortunatly, as I wanted to network from my downstairs living room to my bedroom upstairs. I never knew this and I bought 4 - three for upstairs one for down - the 3 upstairs had good speeds (150mbps) - the one downstairs performed at less than 4mbps transfer rates (I live in a house less than 5 years old) - so hope this review helps others to decide if this type of networking works for them. Netgear really are mis-selling these products. Also the tech support are dreadful .. I was on the phone for 30min, and all I got was Netgear don't recomend these be used on the same circuit breaker - they don't support it ... well maybe netgear should advertise this on the sell/packaging!

Network extensions,
By Technophobe (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Netgear HDX101 Powerline HD (High Definition) Ethernet Adapter (Electronics)
I already had a pair of HDX101 units and they work flawlessly. The third was to extend the use of Slingmedia products on my home network. I had an initial problem that appeared solely due to a faulty unit. On line help from Netgear was very good and they accepted the return and sent out a new unit within a week. All is working well now. Remember though when buying and extending with these products you need to ensure they are compatible with each other as there are differing Netgear systems!
