I use this for a secure connection in parts of the house where the wireless signal is questionable.
The connection is always good and always there.

Comments about Netgear 85Mbps Powerline Network Adapter Kit:
This is a superior solution for people needing a wired ethernet port as compared to a wireless bridge. for about the same cost, you avoid having to configure another network device, and the results are comparable. I used it to hook up a Blu-Ray to the network for firmware updates and Netflix, and it works without a hitch.
