This product is a outstanding alternative to wireless internet if living in a apartment or dorm where you dont want wires all over. Also It seems to be a more reliable and faster connection. I have had this product for several months now and it works great .

I was always more than a bit skeptical in the past about using electrical wiring through electrical outlets to network computers at home, but decided to bite the bullet and purchase this product along with an additional two-piece package for other computers. The hookup was as simple as it gets and it worked flawlessly right out of the box (and the wiring in my house is, shall we say, OLD). I have a FiOS 50 mbit connection and when I tested the download speeds on my wife's networked computer and the Samsung Blu-Ray player and HDTV I was getting around 44 mbit speeds. Very impressive for something that plugs into an electrical wall jack in my opinion. So far I'm VERY happy with this purchase and would definitely buy additional devices if I ever want to network more computers. No more hassle of routing cables through my house! Yay!

Over the years I've run all sorts of wires and cables throughout the house and - even worse- to my outdoor room. Nothing quite like trying to string across the attic, down walls, out the sides of the house and out to the room- ugh, just the thought of another run... Then I spotted these babies again. Sure I'd seen them over the years, but they just seemed too easy. "Can't work!- too simple!" I always told myself. But, after months of searching for the right path for yet another cable to my outdoor paradise (ethernet this time) I finally broke down and took a chance on doing it the EASY way. MAN, I'm glad I did!!!! I simply went out and plugged one adapter in the room and the other to my router, which had just enough wall interference not to reach out there, and voila! Netflix, PS3 online, and everything else in less than 3 minutes! It worked so well I immediately ordered a second pair to get rid of my wife's wireless adapter on her pc, as Cox's connection would bug out about 500 times a day. Not a single knockoff since! GREAT product
