User Reviews for Netgear XA601 POWERLINE USB ADAPTER (NetGear Inc.-XA601NA)

  • Reviewed by: austinwang

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: The connection speed is very stable comparing with wireless.

    Weaknesses: The maximum speed is only about 10Mbps. It is much slower than 802.11g.

    Overall Evaluation: It is suitable for the environment where there is too much interference and your wireless often disconnect. There are too many wireless stations near my home and it causes that my wireless internet often disconnects. This is the best product to solve my problem

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Compact and easy to connect wiring. Also easy to install software.

    Weaknesses: When setting up on a computer that has high-speed internet access (in order to provide high speed internet access to another xa601), it was necessary for me to assign a 2nd network.

    Overall Evaluation: Once installed, I like the simplicity of the system. I have two XA601's, one installed on a computer which has high-speed internet access and the other for my laptop use in other areas of the house. It has been relatively simple to use and I would recommend it to anyone who doesn't yet trust wireless.
