Works perfectly
I bought one of these along with the matching remote adapter (Actiontec MegaPlug 85 Mbps Ethernet Adapter) so my octogenarian father could migrate his TiVo from a phone connection to a broadband connection. I was extraordinarily impressed with the ease of installation. I talked my dad through it over the phone and it just worked, first time. No configuration. No software installation. No confusing complexity. He plugged this box in between his computer and wired router and plugged the remote int...

Simply works!
I already had a pair of Actiontec MegaPlug adapters and picked the hub up so I could increase the number of ports on one side. Replaced an adapter with the hub and everything worked perfectly. I should also note that I installed the hub on the remote side, or the side not wired to the router. The Actiontec manual and website don't explicitly describe that this setup will work. Dead simple to install and use. And most importantly, seems to work without a hitch. I don't have much to add regar...

Runs Flawlessly with anything
I want to tell you how great this hub works. I just recently moved into a bigger house and needed connectivity throughout. I called Actiontec before buying this to learn more about the product. I hooked it up downstairs and attached my PS2 to it.I got the Actionec Megaplug twin pack as well. PS2 recognized it right away. I don't have any issues with playing mutliplayer. In fact the computer I am typing from right now is connected to this 4 port hub. It has no issues with my Ac...

Perfect for Dish networking
Got this set to hook up our new Dish Vip722 receiver so we didn't have to have a phone line in the room. Also needed to attach the new Samsung TV to the network to use it's internet features. Since the hub has 4 port, it allows us to attach other game machines or computers directly to our router downstairs for max speed.Worked out of the box without any adjustments needed. It is truly a plug and play product.I have 3 of the MegaPlug adapters and the 4-port hub supporti...

I'm up to 9 MegaPlug devices at home and couldn't be happier
I've been a big fan of these products for a while now, and continue to find the need to keep adding more. It started out with just a pair of single port adapters to connect my DirecTV DVR (which works flawlessly), than it was connecting PCs for my three kids. Now I've added a network printer (in a central location) that the kids can share. I've recently connected my Slingbox, and several IP video cameras for remote surveillance.I've been pleasantly surprised at the network perform...

Provides the solid connection my wireless setup was failing to do.
Having moved to a new apartment my only initial option was wireless. Although I'm able to connect at 54Mb/s the wireless connection in my office just wasn't cutting it with frequent disconnects and slow transfer speeds.Now, I've heard of Ethernet over Power (EoP) before, but never had I thought about using it until now. After reading up on the technology I wasn't any more assured about this technology than before I started. Reviews from various sources were completely mixed. I co...

Works as advertized out of the box, no fiddling
After totally unsatisfactory wireless links, including fiddling with the Linksys Range Extender I gave up on wireless, using this for connecting two buildings on the property. Plugged in and it ran. Works fine with the Acitontec 85 mbps 1-port hub.As other reviewers have said, you have a chance it won't work if the two places you want to connect are on the opposite phases of your power feed.If that happens, it's never gonna work so send it back.

Should have been advertised as "12Mbit/sec". That's 14% efficiency.
I'm conflicted as to how many stars to give it because it does work, it's pretty cool, but performs WAY BELOW the stated speed, so then I'd have to say that it doesn't work as it should.I'm getting 12Mbits/sec throughput (10 foot distance between wall plugs (upstairs/downstairs))Let's calculate:12Mbps / 85Mbps * 100% = 14% efficiency. How long would you last in your job/company if you were only 14% efficient?!Now, if Actiontec had advertised this device ...
