 Love it July 28, 2008
I love this product - but what's up with the pricing? I bought the starter pack (master and slave pair) in April for $46 - and now they're selling a single for $75? Should've bought extras back in April when the single unit was less than $30!
'nuff said about that - this thing works great; only two minor issues so far:
(1) you can't put your PC in standby because it won't reconnect when it wakes up - you have to reboot to get a network connection; and
(2) it won't work when connected to an outlet on a GFCI circuit (instructions hint at this - they say to avoid using an outlet strip).
If you can live with these two items, and are willing to pay the (now much higher) cost, you'll be happy. Easiest wired connection you'll ever make!

I was able to link three units together within a couple of minutes. I plugged the master on the wall close to my router, and plugged the second unit in another room. At first I was not getting any signal at all. Tried two separate outlets, nothing. Then moved to a 3rd one and got signal. But it was too slow. Spent more time trying other outlets. I was getting a bit disappointed. Then, I remembered that there was an outlet right next to my breaker box. I plugged one of the transmitters to it, and voila... max speed. I watched online videos perfectly. Then toying around with a third unit, I was able to get two lights, which is close to 30mbps. It'd work faster if the second outlet is left alone. In other words, this unit is the only thing plugged into the entire outlet.
Again, these units are great. But, you're going to spend some time trying the units in different outlets to get the best signal. Overall, they work perfectly and I highly recommend them.
Excellent product!! July 6, 2008
I struggled for weeks with the D-link Powerline devices. They were difficult to configure and failed within days of being put into service. After returning two pairs of failed units for repair and then having them fail again, I decided to purchase the Panasonic. What a difference!! The were configured out of the box in less than 3 minutes. They have been in service for several weeks with no failures.....excellent product.
 Be careful when you buy the additional adaptor for you existing network June 1, 2008
I bought a starter pack of two. They are working alright. Then I bought the 3rd one thinking it should be connecting as easy. But I was wrong. The 3rd unit I bought from Factorydepot simply does not work. No matter what I tried, it can not recognize the existing network. So be careful!
Panasonic Ethernet Adaptor April 26, 2008
Ordered and Ethernet Adaptor. Received my order in less than a week. Simple hook up of units (2 required). Worked as advertised. This is my third order from Amazon, and I have been very pleased with the service. I will be purchasing more items from Amazon.
