| Review | Rating | Last Updated | worked for 1 day . . . haven't got it to work again
I bought this from BB and it worked great right out of the box, Not sure what happened after the first day but now i can no longer get it to connect. I'm not getting an internet signal at the remote location. For the $80+ i spent on this i would have been better off just upgrading to a new Pre-N wireless router. Don't waste your money . . . if you do still want this I'll gladly sell you mine! | 2 | Today | Very easy to install and use
We have three of these in use for about a year now in our home. Just plugged them in. One is attached to the router, the other two are on computers in different parts of the house. They even supply the Ethernet cable with the adapter. No problems noted so far. | 5 | Today | Not a good customer experience
For whatever reason this set-up did not work. As others have noted, phone support is non-existent. Even at 4 am they won't take your call. Email to support was also fruitless. I got one email back asking "what are your settings?". I replied, sent a tracer but never heard back. I see they have discontinued this product. Technical issues aside, Netgear has a ways to go to provide basic customer support. | 1 | Today | Slick Last Resort Networking Solution!
I bought this because I have a shed next to my garage that my WiFi doesn't quite reach. This was definatly the easiest solution to networking into my shop so I could have internet and play Mp3s off my network. I plugged one into my router, and the other into my 150mhz laptop I used in the shed (a glorified Mp3 player at this rate, but still does that and surfs the net well!) Turned on the laptop... I was on my network at a little over 8Mbps. Sweet! Streamed Mp3s, tested the internet... super fast. Worked great. Perfect solution. Couldn't be happier... The only downfall was that the encryption software (not that I need it) says W98 is required. But, it actuality it requires W98SE or higher. So, I couldn't install the software (I installed in on my XP laptop to test the speed with their tools). Kinda sucks SE is required... but, I can live with it now that I have internet and can share MP3s in my shop! | 4 | Today | It didn't work for me
I tried using it to connect two medium sized rooms that were right next to each other. It only worked reasonably well for a little while after I plugged both of them in (or unplugged them both and re-plugged them in). It might have worked for non-internet networking, but I just wanted to have net access and that wasn't happening except for a brief period after resetting the power as I mentioned. It seems to have gotten a lot of good reviews, so maybe it was just my place that was the problem, but for what it's worth, it wasn't the magic it sounded like it was. | 2 | Today | Disappointing Results
I looked forward to excellent performance from these devices as an alternative to running additional cable in my home, based on the generally good reviews on this site. The devices seemed to work well, right out of the box, for distances of two rooms away. However, they would lose connection whenever the computer was turned off and then turned back on later. The only way to restore ethernet input to my computer was to unplug and plug in again the nearest XE102. This is not the unsatisfactory reliability my wife and I desire from our internet connection. Even when the two adaptors were plugged into AC receptacles in the same room (as a best-case test), they would not continue to provide ethernet input to my computer if it was turned off and then on again later. My attempt at telephone support from Netgear was fruitless ("call back later"). When I used their online service center, I initially received a general list of possible problems back, but nothing that addressed this specific problem. When I asked for more specific help, after five days I finally received a response which said the problem I reported was "a limitation of the devices." In other words, this was the best performance I could expect. | 2 | Today | Sets up in minutes. Works like a charm
I was up and running in 5 minutes. No software to install. I favor the powerline networking over wireless for the following reasons: 1) easier to setup. No settings to config. 2) more secure. No need to worry about broadcasting a signal over the air 3) faster than wireless. I would typically get weak signal and poor speeds, even though I was not located far from my Wireless A/P. The powerline adapter blows away my wireless setup any day. Sure the novelty of being wireless is cool, but I prefer the speed, reliability and security that the powerline provides. When I want to work from another room, or my patio outside, I take the powerline adapter with me and plug it into the nearest outlet. Great product. | 5 | Today | Works well, but beware of the iPod AC charger!
This is a 'comment' rather than a full review - I use this device to connect my Vonage box to the house router. Works great - no programming required, just 'magically' extends the port of the router through the house wiring to a convenient local outlet. BUT (and this is very odd) the network shut down / I lost my phone connection etc when my girlfriend plugged her IPod with AC charger into the house power. Suddenly, the Netgear link was dead. VERY VERY weird. I suspect the iPod was trying to detect a network through it's AC power supply, and these pings or whatever were causing problems with the Netgear. Be advised. | 4 | Today | One of the best products I have ever bought...
Home networking technologies are advancing so quickly that it is not easy to even keep up with the innovations. These XE102 Wall-Plugged Ethernet Bridges are amazing - you just plug in one to your BB modem and another into your PC and you are done - no need for a long cable across your house. No chance of trippingover a cable to messing up your home decor. You do need 2 of these for it to work, though, so keep that in mind. These work for a PS2 or XBox as well, and is better for online gaming than wireless is. Check them out - you won't regret it. | 5 | Today | Good Product
I have a home network using a Netgear wireless router. Two computers are wired, and the desktop in my den is wireless using a Netgear MA101 USB Adapter. The computer in my den often suffered signal drop-out, and I would lose my network connection. I decided to try the Netgear XE102 Powerline Ethernet Adapter, based in part on the reviews. I have had the devices connected for 3 days now, and no more signal drop-outs. The device works as advertised. So far, I am very satisfied with the product, and I would recommend it for easy home network set-up. | 5 | Today |
