Works as advertised, June 18, 2003

Another great netgear product. The powerline adaptor work just as advertised. I'm using it as a bridge from my Netgear router to run Xbox Live. So far it works like a charm and is a no brainer to hook up. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews

Good Product, April 8, 2004
By Mr. Richard R. Davidson "Major D" (Duncanville, Texas United States) - See all my reviews


I have a home network using a Netgear wireless router. Two computers are wired, and the desktop in my den is wireless using a Netgear MA101 USB Adapter. The computer in my den often suffered signal drop-out, and I would lose my network connection. I decided to try the Netgear XE102 Powerline Ethernet Adapter, based in part on the reviews. I have had the devices connected for 3 days now, and no more signal drop-outs. The device works as advertised. So far, I am very satisfied with the product, and I would recommend it for easy home network set-up. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews

It was "plug in & go," no joke, July 15, 2003
By Mark Guzowski (Idaho Falls, Idaho USA) - See all my reviews

These babies worked right out of the box with xp. Plugged one into a laptop, and the other into a switch, and it immediately worked. Is it fast? Well, I'm used to 100baseT & 1000baseT, so no, I don't think it's fast per se, but it's a lot easier than stringing wires from room to room in a house where all the walls are closed up (or hoping wireless maintains connection over a long period of time).
I did experience one caveat: If my laptop entered suspend mode, sometimes the connection would seize upon restart...not always, just sometimes. Who knows what the laptop's ethernet port is doing during suspend restart, but it isn't something these network devices always like. Minor issue imho - just leave the laptop up.

Works Great, January 5, 2004
By Thomas Reiter (Washington DC, DC United States) - See all my reviews


I needed to extend my wireless network into my basement and couldn't find a decent wireless solution, so I bought two of these devices, plugged one into my DSL router on the second floor and plugged the other into an outlet in the basement. Then I plugged a wireless access point into this powerline converter, and voila, it worked great. Really easy install! Help other customers find the most helpful reviews
