Awesome network solution
This review is from: Actiontec MegaPlug A/V 200 Mbps Ethernet Adapter (Electronics) I don't normally write reviews - too lazy I guess; but this product rocks! My daughter and son were on our home wireless network with moderate to poor connectivity. Since their poor connectivity really did not affect me, my wife and I are hard wired (Ethernet) into our Linksys Wireless G 802.11g router, I could live with it; if that makes me a bad Dad - so be it. And, frankly they did not k...

Very stable/reliable, but max speed drops with distance
This review is from: Actiontec MegaPlug A/V 200 Mbps Ethernet Adapter (Electronics) So I did my own benchmarking of this product just yesterday. The conclusion overall is that the product is stable, but the 200Mbps is a wildly optimistic speed.For all my tests, I used one piece of software: Aida32. It runs a point-to-point network speed test, and gives you max, min and average transmission speed. No maximums were more than 15% of the average.Here are my tests (ave...

Good but not excellent
This review is from: Actiontec MegaPlug A/V 200 Mbps Ethernet Adapter (Electronics) I bought this one mainly because I want this to link my SageTV extender. I first tried wireless solution. I have a Zyxel-550 router and use dd-wrt modified Buffalo 125G (setting as bridge client) to connect both. My computer is on the second floor and the TV is on the first floor. The throughput can be from 10Mbps to 20mbps (I tested by using both echeck and copy large files). It ...

Two caveats to be very wary of
This review is from: Actiontec MegaPlug A/V 200 Mbps Ethernet Adapter (Electronics) I like the product but beware of the following two caveats:1) Since the ethernet jack included in the product is 100Mb/s you are never going to achieve the 200Mbs stated speed.2) It is NOT compatible with other Homeplug products - and this includes Actiontec's own 14Mb/s and 85Mb/s products. I have 4 85Mb/s Actiontec adapters and this product was unable to create a link with ...

Kit of 2 - plug it in and it works.
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Actiontec MegaPlug A/V 200 Mbps Ethernet Adapter (Electronics) This is a set of 2 adapters. I connected one via RJ45 to a little 5 port hub and plugged it in. Then I connected one to my laptop (RJ45) and plugged it in. Ta-da, it works! If you have (or are planning to have) more than the 2 adapters, you'll need to use included s/w to set the ...

Simple and effective
This review is from: Actiontec MegaPlug A/V 200 Mbps Ethernet Adapter (Electronics) After leaving a cat5 cable running downstairs for far too long, I decided to give these a shot to bridge the gap from my computers to my media center. I have one connected directly to my main Internet gateway/switch and the other device upstairs connected to a small Linksys 4-port switch with an Xbox and Xbox 360. I haven't noticed any issues streaming media (MP3 and HD-quality video files) ...

AV200 Works Well - Preliminary Review
This review is from: Actiontec MegaPlug A/V 200 Mbps Ethernet Adapter (Electronics) My home LAN is mostly CAT5 wired, but I was using a flaky pre-N wireless for two systems. I replaced one link with the Actiontec AV200 a few weeks ago and have had flawless performance, even though both ends are plugged into cheap outlet strips that supposedly include surge suppression (but apparently no effective RFI suppression). (A separate whole-house surge suppressor at the electric panel...

Simple, fast, easy for 4 TiVo HD boxes
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Actiontec MegaPlug A/V 200 Mbps Ethernet Adapter (Electronics) I originally bought TiVO USB wireless adapters for our HD boxes, and they improved the connection with TiVo service for updates significantly. Transfers between boxes were slow, though. If we tried to watch while transferrring, unless we waited until the transfer was almost finish...

Good Product when needed
This review is from: Actiontec MegaPlug A/V 200 Mbps Ethernet Adapter (Electronics) We have both Cat-5 in our home and wireless, but in our kitchen we don't have a Cat-5 jack so we have to use wireless... But when the Microwave is on (which is frequent with kids) - our wireless becomes useless. So I got a pair of these devices and I'm back in business when Microwave is on! In the first week of usage, I did have to unplug and plug back in one of the devices once to get it w...

Works as advertised
This review is from: Actiontec MegaPlug A/V 200 Mbps Ethernet Adapter (Electronics) I bought this to connect my Xbox360 to my home network. I was not happy with the throughput I was getting over the wireless connection. I plugged each unit into a wall socket, plugged one into my router and the other into the Xbox and everything connected effortlessly. I don't have the actually Mbps numbers, but the Xbox network tuning bar graph is full through std TV.
