 Panasonic BL-PA100KTA Ethernet Adaptor June 22, 2008
Product works as advertised. Using it for an Xbox 360, which is located about 50 feet from the router. No problems, easy set up.
Works well and easy to set up June 21, 2008
This product was easy to set up and worked well directly out of the box for me. The only negative was that there were no ethernet cables included in the box. That wasn't a big issue, but it would be nice to have a couple included. Also, there's no on-off switch, so the only way to turn these off is to pull the power cable.
I have a Roku Soundbridge media player which was very sensitive to variations in the wireless signal, even though the wireless is very dependable for my laptop. Connected to these it now works flawlessly. I live in about an 8 year old home, with the master device on the lower floor and the slave device on the upper floor.
I'm very happy with this solution and would recommend it, especially for the current price of about $60.
great alternative SOHO network solution June 20, 2008

Well, did I say SOHO? yes, business don't neet PLC network because they always have ethernet cable laid out. I brought my company's laptop home but sadly found the wi-fi can not work with my SOHO wi-fi router even my router have a very good coverage, it requires high level wi-fi security setting. I was hesitate to upgrade my router to Cisco aironet or switch to PLC. Guess what? PLC won because it's getting cheap. It's easy to setup, and works fine even for different circuit pannel (10M). It works charmly for laptop which can not get signal or the router security setting can not go higher, and works for my desktops where I don't want to add a wi-fi card. the only problem I met was when I setup my 3rd/4th unit, read the manual and realized I must press "setup" button for both master and client to register. otherwise, no problem at all!
Very Satisfied... June 19, 2008

I have 2 Direct TV DVR's that support streaming video and other network features and I needed a way to connect them to my network. Read a few reviews and decided to give the Panasonic HD-PLC a try. Product works great. I can watch streaming video both SD and HD with no pausing and excessive buffering. Setup is simple. Worked so Well, I order another set and now have 1 master and 3 slaves 2 for my DVR's and 1 for my Sony Playstation. All my slaves show max rate (30mps+). They do not appear to be running hot (As some reviewers noted). I highly recommend this product.
Finally a simple plug and play power line networking solution. June 18, 2008

I have a Two Story House and determined that adding CAT 5 wire would be prohibitively expensive. My old HomePlug 1.1 Network could not keep up with the download speed of Comcast Powerboost. I investigated HomePlug Turbo and AV200 and found that the management software from most manufactures was not compatible with Windows Vista. Fortunately I found that the Panasonic PA100KTA was available. The main advantage is that the device provides a secure Ethernet connection at a touch of a button without requiring a computer to set it up. I learned from the manufactures technical support department that it would only take a few seconds to program any adapter to connect to a master. I purchased several kits, leaving leaving the master in one of the kits as the master for the whole system. I reprogrammed the other adapters as terminals. The adapter has a feature that allows the person installing same to determine the approximate connection speed at the touch of a button without connecting it to a computer. This gives the person installing the network a quick way to determine if the adapter is connected to the outlet that provides best performance in a particular room. I did learn that certain types of surge strips can degrade the performance of the system even though the adapter is plugged into a different outlet. I found that I was able to improve performance of both my old HomePlug 1.1 and new Panasonic BL-PA100KTA network by installing a Corinex Power Phase Coupler at my Dryer Outlet. The Corinex Power Phase Coupler is available from Amazon.com. I would recommend the Panasonic BL-PA100KTA to anyone that wants to extend their network without the cost and inconvenience of installing CAT 5 wire.
