I use it to cover blind spots of the wireless network. I live in a high rise with reinforced concrete walls everywhere.

It's so easy to have a network without dangerous radiation from WiFi. Wherever you have an outlet you can have access to the internet and the other computers and printers on your network.

Very easy to use. Just plug it in an outlet in any place of the house and voila, you have internet. I'm very happy with it. I haven't found any down side so far.

Comments about Actiontec MegaPlug AV 200Mbps Ethernet Adapter Kit:
Works as advertised. It bridges ethernet frames at ~100Mb/s over the neutral line of your existing AC infrastructure. The only caution would be if you live in a shared electric environment. The device supports encryption but you need to go to their website for the sequence instructions to set that up . Caveat - won't work with some isolation powerstrips (IsoBar, etc.).

Comments about Actiontec MegaPlug AV 200Mbps Ethernet Adapter Kit:
I used it in a dead spot where my wireless network did not reach. Rather than buy a stronger router, given my current one is still working, I tried this. Also I needed a Tivo compliant device and it works great with my HD Tivo Box. There is something to be said about hard wired devices where wireless falls a bit short. It is VERY easy to hook up. The only negative things I can think of (thus far) are the bulk of the device and price. It could be less expensive and a bit more streamlined.
