 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.
works out of the box June 16, 2008
I like that you can test the speed from the unit itself. Because different power outlets provide vastly different transmission speeds. Not sure why. My speeds fall a little short of advertised but a) I think that's true of all powerLine products and b) all PowerLine adapters are highly dependent on wiring, hence your results may vary. Otherwise, the units work great. They do NOT come with a network cable, you must buy that on your own.
Aaaaamazing!!!! June 14, 2008
I waited for 2 months to see if I could vouch for this product. I couldn't believe that it was working so flawlessly. It is just a plug and "get on with it" kinda device. What amazed me was the speed. I have 7MBps download and 3 MBps upload speed at my modem, and with this product, I got the same speed at all power points in my house. Its Ideal for people who haven't got CAT5 cable laid in their houses and want a flxibility to work from anywhere in their house. It was totally worth it for the price I paid.
 Very Good Product June 9, 2008
The product worked as advertised. There were warning about how best to connect. I had a bit of trouble when I added a third to the network but the process was documented and worked. It is so much better than wireless for longer distances. I wish it were just a little faster, however.
