Digital camera reviews of Cisco-Linksys PLK200 Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter Kit
Digital camera Review: Absolutely simple and effective
Summary: 4 Stars
I needed to solve intermittent wireless connectivity in my home, too many walls between the wireless router in my den and the family room where everyone wants to connect. Installation took about 5 minutes and was straightforward. After connecting the first unit to my PC, I attached it to the router and then plugged the second unit into an outlet in my family room. I didn't touch any of the setup options or make changes, it just worked.Digital camera Review: Are you Bothered by the Brightness of the LED's?
Summary: 5 Stars
Another reviewer mentioned the excessive brightness of the product's 3 blue LED's when the product is in a room that's supposed to be dark. If it bothers you, try covering the LED's with a strip of masking tape. That dims them nicely. Of course, electrical tape works great if you don't want to see the LED's at all.Digital camera Review: Best solution I've found
Summary: 5 Stars
After trying several wireless "N" options, I decided to try this due to signal loss. I was able to set this up and be running in less than one minute! Connected to my router and 100 feet away in my home office garage I received the signal right away. Very fast connection too! The garage is on a seperate circuit and even a seperate fuse box and it still found the signal 100 feet away. No problems. Windows Vista Compatible.Digital camera Review: Beware of lights
Summary: 4 Stars
I have two PLK200 units running far away apart in my house. Pretty much the farthest end possible and here is my experience after more than a year.
Pros:
1. This thing is very tough. It is built like a tank basically. I have constant mpeg2 quality video streaming going on a solid 2-4 hours a day consecutively 7 days a week for a year now. And it is still running top notch.
2. Performance is not a problem on this unit. The speed is as advertised.
Cons:
1. The blinking light drives is insane. The blue flash is huge. It is almost a strobe light if you have enough data streaming! Get a piece of duct tape to block it.
2. It does get rather warm to hot.
Digital camera Review: Bye Bye WiFi
Summary: 5 Stars
Works great. No longer am I plagued with wireless infidelity. WiFi never operated reliably, and now those problems are gone.
Only problem encountered was the brightness of the 3 blue LEDs - at night with all the lights off, it's too bright for a nightlite.
