Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Great design and performance
I have to say I'm very pleased with the product. I have two units connected on 2 different circuits and the performance is great- 50-60Mbps.
My building does have new electric wiring so perhaps it helps too.
The heat issue doesn't exist- the units feel barely lukewarm to the touch. And the 4-port switch is sweet- no extra power supplies, no wires. Great design indeed !
My only complain is that software is a bit flaky, seems to freeze and I couldn't change the ... Read More
Rating:  - Poor performance if 20-30' from router
I found that if you place this device in a diferent room from the router the performance drops considerably. I have a new home so the wiring is good and I only got about 11% of my original speed by putting the second device about 20'+ from my office to the great room. I called Netgear CR and this is a common experience.
Rating: - Excellent - performance as promised
I used this product to replace troublesome RF-based wireless connection between my cable modem in my office and my wife's computer in the kitchen. The RF connection was spotty, weak, and undependable, despite trying various brands and configurations of RF routers.
The Netgear 104G was simple, and produced an uninterrupted, steady, strong, and fast internet connection. Yay!
Rating: - Great product
I used this when the wireless had a huge dead spot. Allot easier than running CAT5. Plus it gives you flexibility to move.
Rating: - Better than wireless, but don't expect too much
As most people have found with powerline ethernet, performance will depend a lot on house wiring. When I plug the two units into the same outlet, I get great, near 100BT rates (5-8MB/s). When moved across the house, this drops to 10BT rates (0.5-1 MB/s). However, unlike wireless (802.11g), these rates are very consistent and reliable. A sensible (if expensive) alternative to wireless for desktop computers.
This product is trivially easy to use. No software; it works just like a wire. ... Read More
