New home netrwork

I just bought a NETGEAR RP614 router to share the ADSL connection to the Internet between several PC's. Two years ago I had purchased one of the wireless products and had extremely slow transfer rates. I have decided to upgrade to a real "wired" network. Now with the new router I am contemplating all the Ethernet wiring that will be needed and it wont be a trivial task. But I just read those articles about using the existing power lines and the Netgear Powerline Ethernet Adapter (XE602) seems to be the solution. So thanks for all the info.

AWESOME!!!! One of the best products this year!

I bought this product recently because i wanted the computer in my basement to have internet access from my cable modem on my second floor. Putting a wire between floors wasn't very practical and wireless networkinf wouldn't work either so when I saw this I was happy but a little skeptical but after buying I realized that it worked great. It's not as fast as a wired network but it gives me speeds of up to 170 k per second downloading. So I can't complain. It was also super easy to hook up you literally just have to plug it in and it works. I have no complaints about this Product it is wonderful. The only thing is that each of the adapter is $ and one is needed for each computer. But I strongly suggest buying this if you need a networking solution.

Great for XBox and PS2 system link and Internet gaming.

I have three Netgear XE602 adapters; one as the main hub off an Internet broadband router in one room and the other two in other rooms. There's no configuration required. They work right out of the box.

There's an Encryption software included in the package, but it's not necessary. I tried it and it worked well at first. But somewhere down the line, the adapters stopped recognizing each other. So, I uninstalled the Encryption tools and it worked fine since then.

I've used the XE602's to connect two Xbox's located in two separate rooms to play System Linked games. It's much easier than getting two large TV's into one room. Ever played Halo with 8 players? Now you can without cramming 8 screaming people into one room.

The XE602's also work well with broadband Internet gaming. Whenever we had guests, I would move the Playstation 2 and an XE602 downstairs and let them play Socom Navy Seals online. When they left, I simply packed everything up and moved them back upstairs. Quick and easy.

Plug and Play if no Encryption need

I works right out of box, (supposed to be that, such as all other brands...Iogear, Linksys, Phonex NeverWire 14, etc.) It also comes with two Ethernet patch cables ( and you only need one, it is good to have extra). It also looks nice with the stand and all the connections (Ethernet port and AC powerline port) are at rear panel. But, you need to install software on computer to have encryption. On the other hand, the Phonex NeverWire 14 uses one button on the device to have the encryption (that is realy really Plug and Play). That is the reason it only got my 4-star.

Works great, anyone can set these up

I got these to complete our home network for sharing a broadband connection. Since I already had ethernet cards on the machines that were upstairs (far from the cable modem) I decided to try these rather than go wireless. You will need at least two of these for them to be of use, I have one on the router and one plugged into a hub where the two remote computers are. If you do not turn on the encryption all you need to do is plug them in and you are done. I have not tried the encryption yet and do not plan to any time soon, so I don't know how difficult is is to set up or how well it works.

The only negative (and this applies to all the current powerline networking items) is they need to plug right into the wall. Given how many plugs a desktop computer needs you will need a surge protector with LOTS of plugs to free up a wall socket.

Also, one word of advice, keep this in a reasonably well ventilated area. I had mine partially covered and it got too hot and stopped working. After I uncovered it and let it cool down for a few minutes it started working again.
