 Does its job November 9, 2008
The product works. However, you will not experience 200 mbs throughput. The throughput is also a function of proximity between the units. Farther away on your existing wiring, the lower the bandwidth. If you need 100 mbs plus to push or stream HD video... the units need to be close. You will be lucky to get 30 mbs at distances approaching 40 feet. A great alternative to wireless though. They are a functional ethernet alternative and very easy to setup.
 Netgear HDX101 with Linux July 19, 2008
I have used this product in my home network with both Windows XP and Linx. This powerline ethernet adapter is plug and play, regadless of the operating system. And, it is very fast. I am currently running three Linux Ubuntu systems on three different floors of my house using one adapter for each computer and one at the firewall. Operation is flawless for more than a year. Can't say enough good about this product. This system replaced my wireless ethernet system which was much slower.
 It simply works extremeley slow July 15, 2008
I wasted my money and the device is sitting on my shelf.
The powerline does not work in my ACER new model loaded with windos vista. I had a service call fromm ATT and they could not do nothing either.
It works when I connect it to DirecTV for "on demand" downloading movies, but it is so slow that it took two days to download a movie. So at least my experience is that I totally wasted my money.
Excellent alternative to wireless networks . . . March 25, 2008

This NetGear HDX101 Powerline adapter is an excellent alternative to using a wireless network because it requires no configuration. Moreover, you will never get a dropped signal because it uses your homes electrical wiring. Another caveat is it doesn't interfere with your wireless phones like wirless networks do. You simply plug one adapter into an electrical outlet near your router or hub (internet connection). Next you connect this adapter directly to your router or hub with an ethernet cable. Lastly, you connect another adapter to any electrical outlet in your home where you have additional computers; and you plug that adapter to your other computer by an ethernet cable. Do this last step for each additional computer in your home and you are done! Make sure you get the HDX101 Powerline Adapter (up to 200 MB) anything less gives poor performance. I purchased the lower end model (I believe it was 86 MB) and had to return it to the store because web sites froze when I opened more than one web page. The adapters come with auto-encryption of data; this feature is particularly important if you live in an apartment building or if you are a student in a dorm. You don't have to worry about any one eaves dropping or stealing your information. When purchasing for the first time make sure you buy the HDX101B (a set of 2 Adapters) because you need at least 2 adapters to set up a network. You can purchase additional adapters as needed. God bless you in all your endeavors!
Straightforward with one drawback March 22, 2008
product worked as specified right out of the box. Only drawback, but clearly identified, is the product will not work through a surge strip. I don't like not being protected but it works fine plugged directly into the wall.
