This product worked absoutely superbly for me. I was getting a 50%-60% signal via wireless, resulting in pretty poor download speeds of around 4-8MB (I have 20MB Virgin broadband). Once I’d plugged these in (and I did use an extension lead) I was getting fantastic results, with download speeds of 15-18MB. It was as quick as if I’d plugged directly into the router via ethernet. It’s definitely worth a try if you’re wireless network isn’t great and this could not be any easier to use. It is literally plug and play, no software. Can’t recommend these highly enough!

|Amazing Product,
Awesome product; I now have internet access on all 4 floors of the house at a minimum of 160 mb/s with no need for cabling/drilling. I’ve had very poor results using wireless in the apst so I didnt even attempt it in such a large house. Two sets of these plugs came in under the price of a wireless-n router and the results are beyond anything I had hoped.
They were incredibly easy to set up; pretty much plug and play. I had all 4 connected and my devices networked in a few minutes.
I particularly like the ability to disable the LED’s on the plugs remotely from the management software. Several of the plugs are in bedrooms so I can switch the LED’s off to avoid having a glow in the corner of the room.

I originally purchased a pair of these to cure the connectivity problems with my Squeezebox Boom. The Squeezebox would not connect for more than a few minutes over a wireless connection despite being in the next room to the router. I was planning how to get some CAT5 to it when someone suggested these adapters. They worked perfectly when installed, I have since purchased another and the Squeezebox works really well. Some software is provided which enables you to turn off the 3 monitor LEDs if their flashing would be a nuisance, and to set up encryption. I since purchased a third unit for my BT Vision box, which also provides a stable network connection. They are a little wider (70mm) than I would have liked, which restricts the choice of any mains plug or adapter next to it. I have not experienced any interference from any mains powered device on my house wiring. So, highly recommended, as is the Squeezebox if you can maintain connectivity. Logitech Squeezebox Boom
