It did what was asked. took very little time to set up - 10 minutes top. If you want a secure wired network - this is the way to go.
Rating: - It works exactly as claimed
I bought this Actiontec MegaPlug for my Tivo HD. After learning that I could save money by going to voice over IP for my phone service, I also learned that my TIVO, which was configured to update using my regular phone line, wouldn't operate on a VoiP phone. Before learning about the Actiontec, I thought it was going to take a long ethernet cable run from my basement router to hook the Tivo into my wired network before I could install VoiP. But, what the heck, I thought I'd give the Actiontec ... Read More
Rating: - Plug & Play works great!
This product works great! In 5 minutes you will be up and running. We couldn't get good wireless signal to our HD TiVOs and PS3 located in the corner of a room inside a TV stand. Now all three are working great with this product. Downloading HD content to the TiVos and playing games online with the PS3 are no problem!
Rating: - 5 Stars and to 2 Snaps up!!!!!!!
This is the "BOMB"! Saw this on another site and came to Amazon to see what their price and reviews were on it. Needed to expand home network for my Wife to work from and wasn't looking forward to having to run 75' of cat5 through walls. It works great! Took longer for me to walk from one room to the other then setting up the units. Only thing negative I could say is that it was on special when I brought it($49) and now 1 unit($56) is more then what I got the twin-pack for. Wish I had gotten 2 packs.
Rating: - Very Simple & Effective
An amazingly simple & effective way to network your home, as opposed to the slower, and often less reliable wi-fi solution. I have both wi-fi for my laptop, and these powerline devices for my desktop machines. Wired networking is a lot more reliable & faster for downloading. These powerline devices are incredibly simple to set up - just plug it in and it works! No need even to install the software.
