Customer Reviews of Netgear Powerline Ethernet Adapter (XE602)
Works great, anyone can set these up I got these to complete our home network for sharing a broadband connection. Since I already had ethernet cards on the machines that were upstairs (far from the cable modem) I decided to try these rather than go wireless. You will need at least two of these for them to be of use, I have one on the router and one plugged into a hub where the two remote computers are. If you do not turn on the encryption all you need to do is plug them in and you are done. I have not tried the encryption yet and do not plan to any time soon, so I don't know how difficult is is to set up or how well it works.
The only negative (and this applies to all the current powerline networking items) is they need to plug right into the wall. Given how many plugs a desktop computer needs you will need a surge protector with LOTS of plugs to free up a wall socket.
Also, one word of advice, keep this in a reasonably well ventilated area. I had mine partially covered and it got too hot and stopped working. After I uncovered it and let it cool down for a few minutes it started working again.
New home netrwork
I just bought a NETGEAR RP614 router to share the ADSL connection to the Internet between several PC's. Two years ago I had purchased one of the wireless products and had extremely slow transfer rates. I have decided to upgrade to a real "wired" network. Now with the new router I am contemplating all the Ethernet wiring that will be needed and it wont be a trivial task. But I just read those articles about using the existing power lines and the Netgear Powerline Ethernet Adapter (XE602) seems to be the solution. So thanks for all the info.
Plug and Play if no Encryption need
I works right out of box, (supposed to be that, such as all other brands...Iogear, Linksys, Phonex NeverWire 14, etc.) It also comes with two Ethernet patch cables ( and you only need one, it is good to have extra). It also looks nice with the stand and all the connections (Ethernet port and AC powerline port) are at rear panel. But, you need to install software on computer to have encryption. On the other hand, the Phonex NeverWire 14 uses one button on the device to have the encryption (that is realy really Plug and Play). That is the reason it only got my 4-star.
