  Overall Rating: 5 Star Review

  Duration of ownership:18 Months

  Strengths: Easy compatibility, plug and play, fast speeds, and easy connection

  Weaknesses: Do not try to get three of these and expect them to simultaneously work without a router!

  Overall Evaluation: This product is great, absolutely wonderful. I installed a pair of these when I upgraded to cable broadband Internet. These two devices can transfer speed faster than what the ISP can give me! All around great product, except for when you buy another. Once you do that, you are going to need to buy a router to support multiple IP addresses. Other than that, I would definitely recommend this product over any wireless, hardwire, or powerline connectivity product. Definetly.

  Duration of ownership:16 Days

  Strengths: Ease of setup

  Weaknesses: Speed but I knew that going in and purchased based on price.

  Overall Evaluation: The setup is perhaps a little to easy for someone with lots of network experience. After fighting with it, I wound up plugging it in and it just worked. Don't over think this product, it will work for you with no fuss. Normally I would tear into the house to install cat5 but I'm currently renting and don't have that option. This setup works great for my current situation.

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: perfect solution for wire-free networking - better than having a wireless access point. More reliable, never loses connection, connects fast.

  Weaknesses: None - I cant imagine it wud have any

  Overall Evaluation: I wanted these primarily to watch movies on my lcd tv in the living room by connecting my laptop to it. I needed something that cud stream videos consistently and this was my only option considering the fact that i had to run a ethernet cable all the way through one floor. I purchased a refurb product which dint come with any manual or software....but i dint need 'em. I plugged in the source adapter near my router and plugged in my receiver adapter down in my living room and it worked instantly. Nice product...make sure your power wiring in the house is connected in the rooms you want the network to be available. My friend told me that I could use a continuity tester to test if the power network is indeed connected.

  Duration of ownership:60 Days

  Strengths: Automatic rate adaption chooses the best data rate depending on the level of interference caused by other electrical appliances.Boasts Ethernet-like data rates of up to 14 Mbps.Works with 2 & 3 prong standard 110 volt electrical outlets

  Weaknesses:

  Overall Evaluation: I was surprised at how well the XE102's work, given that the circuit which the main computer's XE102 is plugged into has a ton of computer equipment plugged into it via a big Tripplite power conditioner/surge protector. Ditto for the XE102 in the living room, which is plugged into the same circuit that all my A/V equipment is plugged into.

  Duration of ownership:2 Months

  Strengths: Easy of install, sleek design, fast connections

  Weaknesses: Security setup may not be very secure, it's new technology so security flaws may not be well understood

  Overall Evaluation: This is a smartly designed product. You need a pair to use them. One plugs into your router and other to pretty much any power socket in the house. The possibilities are endless. The speed is excellent. This is highly recommended.

  Duration of ownership:2 Months

  Strengths: Very easy to use.

  Weaknesses: Hard to find in stores. May be expensive.

  Overall Evaluation: I purchased the XE102 to replace my wireless needs for a few of my desktops since I cannot run wire in my apartment. It works great, connected one to my router and one to a desktop on the far side of the apartment, ipconfig/release, ipconfig/renew, and I was all set. I have not used the security software but I feel like my network is more secure than it was with wireless.

  Duration of ownership:3 Weeks

  Strengths: Good connectivity and Easy installation.

  Weaknesses: n/a

  Overall Evaluation: These are perfect for anyone wishing to use an internet connection in a room/location where there's no cable or phone jack. Especially if you don't want to go through the hassle of seeting up a wireless network. Well worth the money and highly recommended.

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: Stable internet signal; turn any electrical outlet in the house into an ethernet port

  Weaknesses: Connection varies significantly from .9mbps to 14mps from one outlet to another depending on your house electrical wiring; 10mbps connection is too slow for anything else but broadband connection

  Overall Evaluation: The Netgear XE102 worked immediately out of the box without having to set it as a transmitter or a receiver. However, when I installed the encryption, I lost the connection. Netgear technical support could not solve the problem after close to an hour of debugging. It appears that the encryption software is not reliable so I removed it to get the connection back to normal. On some outlets the connection is limited .9mbps due to house electrical wiring so it is not as fast as a wireless connection albeit more stable. I use it with the Linksys PAP2 for VOIP phone. That is a fantastic combination since there is no wireless VOIP phone adapter yet although you could get a wireless router with a built-in VOIP phone ports. I would definitely recommend the Netgear XE102 for VOIP application as described here.
