this item did what it said it would, easy to set up, no problems
You cannot fail with this product. Easy to install and works well just as described.The good thing about this bridge, as opposed to extending your network with another router is that it connects / maintains the same DNS.Most of my comuters are on the primary DNS and I was frustrated when I had to use a second router, not letting me share files between them.This solved my share problems and has encouraged me to start streaming my PC media into my living room.
Much easier than trying to run a cable to the other side of the house. This product set up very easily and works great. I am using it with Samsung Netflix & Pandora Blu-Ray player to get movies and music onto the TV.
I drilled a hole to the basement and ran a 200ft shielded ethernet cable (wasted a lot of money on that, b/c about 125ft are coiled up in the basement :P) to replace these, which gives me a solid 8000kbps, and thus is a superior option. That said, they do work. While this thing IS able to create a connection across multiple circuits in our house, the connection thus gained is horribly unreliable, not at all suitable for slingbox streaming, as it randomly flutters from 100kbps to a max of around 3500 (in VERY short-lived bursts every once in a while). If it's at ALL possible to run ethernet cables or connect wirelessly, both options work better than these in my experience.
It took some troubleshooting to get this product to work with the PRO-HD; it seems that our home router was making all of the fuss. Great product from Sling Media and a great price on Amazon. After that was sorted out, it seems to be working fine.
