 Simple installation and it works great... December 28, 2007

I needed network availability at the other end of the house where it was too far for wireless and impractical to run ethernet cable. I tried a wireless range expander and had a bad experience with that. After reading the reviews of the Actiontec adapter, I decided to try it. I wish I had discovered the Actiontec first, because it's a no-brainer and it works great. It was literally nothing more than plugging in the devices and running a quick and simple software install/config on the PC I wanted to connect. It works as advertised, is essentially a wired connection to the network, and is a perfectly portable solution for any room in the house that has an electrical outlet. I wish all network products were this easy to use.
Eerily simple. December 15, 2007

I bought this product to connect a TiVo in a remote part of the house, where my wireless connection was poor. Out of the box it worked effortlessly and perfectly. If you need to get ethernet into a remote part of your house -- I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these in a heartbeat. Super easy, fast connection & works with no downtime. Seems too good to be true, but it is.

I used this to hook up my dish network HD DVR to my router. It works perfectly with no installation issues, just follow the instructions given on the dish network website.

I had the D-Links but one died. Returned RMA and I got a refurbed set. After a month one died. I had a friend, one of his died after a month. Ever Since I got these Actiontecs I've had no problems. They work great for a great price. I will buy another set for the rest of my computers.
It just works! January 4, 2008

I saw this on the tivo web site as I was looking to buy the tivo HD. I saw these past good reviews and yet I still almost went with the tivo wireless adapter. But I took the chance on these and am I glad I did. I had always wondered about how well a powerline adapter worked or if really at all. It was just so easy to setup. I wish everything else worked so well. I initially hooked up my sonos and played music continuously for hours without one hiccup what so ever. Then when cable card installation day came I hooked up the tivo and the downloads from the setup went very fast. I figure I should do as well with the movie downloads. Let's just say the Actiontec MegaPlug Ethernet adapters have made me a happy camper. I just had to write this (my first) review.
