 Nice, It doesn't reach more than a few feet August 15, 2008
I have it trying to bridge a connection at maybe 150 feet and it doesn't work. A terrible waste of money for me.
 Rocking it! August 13, 2008
AWESOME this device WORKS so fast and easy. I LOVE gadgets, but am not a tech geek so things have to work properly or I'm the helpless girl calling tech support. I used this kit to connect my router to 1) Squeezebox (an A++ music server) thereby vastly exceeding its wireless performance (due to my house's poor network coverage), and 2) DirectTv unit to allow the on-demand feature only available by ethernet connection. Here's how it worked: I plugged one end of the networking kit into my Netgear router and the other (which has two ethernet connections) into the two aforementioned appliances. NOTHING MORE, IT JUST WORKED!!!! THIS IS HOW TECHNOLOGY OUGHT TO BE, BUT SEEMS TO ALWAYS INVOLVE COMPLICATION. Now I'm streaming music without interruption and loving it. I'd say if you have a NETGEAR router, you will probably get the same AMAZING results.
Good wireless solution that is easy to set up. July 19, 2008

We decided to try this kit out due to our wireless network having troubles reaching our master bedroom Tivo. A problem that I encountered was that the Series 2 Tivo does not have ethernet capabilities, so we ordered an adapter for future use. In the meantime we tested the kit out on our Xbox 360 for a speed test. Upon opening the box I found out all directions were on a CD, there was no wizard or guide to help connect everything, the actual installation guide is just a PDF file. The directions were a little confusing at first, but after a quick reread I hooked everything up as instructed. I hooked one unit up to our 802.11g router and went through the set up, which went quickly.
With the bridge working, the Xbox registered the connection as hard-wired and we were able to get on-line easily. I next set up the Xbox as a media extender for my PC. During the setup routine the Xbox tests network bandwidth and shows a chart with the words "acceptable for standard TV" and after that, at a higher level, "HDTV." With the bridge kit in place, the bandwidth chart was completely maxed out to the very highest level even on the HDTV portion of it. The Microsoft wireless Xbox adapter we had been using had only registered the first bar of the HDTV portion. For the next test I downloaded an HD movie, 5.7GB, from Xbox Live. The download took roughly 43 min, a little over half the time that it took to download the same size move over the wireless adapter.
After the ethernet adapter arrived, I hooked up the Series 2 Tivo and I downloaded a few shows from my computer and a few from our second Tivo in the living room. The wireless bridge solution was noticeably faster, but your transfer speeds are limited by the Tivo software. All in all, the Netgear is a very good wireless solution, easy to set up and use and is great for the Xbox360 and media streaming, but for non-HD Tivo it is overkill, unless you have very poor reception in your house.
Awesome product! July 10, 2008

This is a great product!! Very easy set-up right out of the box. At first, if you do not connect it to a router you will not be able to see it in the wireless network set up. You can't miss it because it is labeled "NETGEAR HD". Off the bat, you know that is your network that you are connecting to. I would experience some sort of lag with my XBOX 360 prior to installing this device. Ever since I hooked this device up..... I haven't had any lag and it has been nearly a month of testing.
I know there are many more functions and applications that I can use this with, but I have been limited to actual time. I will continue to experiment and as I learn more I will continue to update my review.
Wonderful product that I highly recommend to anyone who wants to stream movies off another device onto their existing network. It does great so far with Amazon Unbox and XBOX 360 networks.
Does exactly what it says it will do. June 26, 2008

Got this and set it up right away. Set up was very easy and as someone who normally waits until hubby comes home to do things this was a breeze for me. We're a gaming household with all next-gen systems. So this truly came in handy. Once set up I notice that there was a remarkable difference when connecting via my laptop. I also tried going online via the Playstion 3 and the connection speed was so much faster than when I had my Linksys connected. I must say that I am using Cable Internet services. As stated though there was no lag when hosting matches via Xbox Live and that was exactly what we were looking for. This is definitely what you need when gaming. It does exactly what it says it will do. I don't normally recommend products but this one gets a definite thumbs up from me.
