G.hn technology does not work
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.

Excellent Product
Picked up a couple of the SBX1000P wired network extenders to have a hard wired connection for my home theater equipment (TV, Blu-Ray and receiver) and gaming console in separate rooms. This product is AMAZING, simple pairing with my SBR-AC3200P and it produces a solid network connection with great speeds by using the electrical wiring in the house. No need to run any cable or wire!!!! I had to pick up a network switch for the home theater to conenct more than one device. Another great benefit is that G,hn technology is not limited to one circuit box as some other powerline adapters. Highly recommend this product.
