Rating: - A few caveats
Firstoff, I would say this device does what it is supposed to. Having used several powerline products like this, I will say that this one performs about as well as competing units. That said, there are few caveats I would point out. First, you're only going to get acceptable throughput when both sides of the link are on the same household circuit. This is especially true with older homes who may have gone through electrical upgrades (like mine). Also, your throughput will suffer when you use ... Read More
Rating: - Works as advertised.
Works just like advertised. It took about 5 minutes to set up (the biggest challenge was finding a free electrical outlet near my computers/network devices.)

Highly recommended.
Rating: - works as promised
I bought the slingbox, forgetting that that my linksys was clear across the other side of the house. I bought this but really did not think it would work. I was very wrong. Set-up: about 5 minutes (that includes opening the box :)) I went to a friends house just to check the signal and the bridge and slingbox worked great!!! Well worth the money spent!!
Rating: - Perfect for getting your XBOX 360 online
I can't believe that I finally found out about this. I have been putting off getting my 360 online through a wireless connection because I have heard that it can be slow and drop connections from time to time. If you don't want to put up with stuff like that, this is perfect for you.

Rating: - Poor Design for a Wireless Unit
While the idea of the Turbo Port is great it is limited by it's ability to control the Slingbox wirelessly. It must be connected on the same circuit as the slingbox, so if wireless router is not in your living room or on the same circuit then this will not help you live wirelessly
