I have had zero problems with it. Performance will vary from user to user. I think it all depends on your wiring and distance between the units. Mine are distanced pretty far apart and I haven't seen anything travel faster than ~15Mbps. I have three of my ports taken up and you would think that the switch unit would handle traffic between the four ports pretty quickly, but transfer rates are at a constant 10Mbps when copying files from one server to another. Whereas if they were attached to my router, they would copy over at about +45Mbps. So, I don't think the switch is a true switch. I think it is just traveling to my router and then back. I inquired as to whether or not I could attach a second 4-port switch unit to the set and I was told no. However, I was told that you can have more than one kit on the same wiring. Overall, it is a little more than I would like to pay, but worth purchasing.

I had never heard of anything like this product before, nor have I seen anyone else with one. So I took a gamble on this; And guess what? I won. Big time. I had already spent $400 on a XBox 360 Elite, plus $50 for a subscription to XBox Live. I REFUSED to pay another $100 for Microsoft's wireless XBox 360 network adapter. They should have built it into they console like PS3 and Wii, but chose to nickle and dime us to death, charging us ridiculous prices for accessories. Not this time Bill Gates! I opened up my Brite-View box, plugged the either-net cable from my Verizon FIOS wireless router (located upstairs) into the receiver, plugged the receiver into the wall socket, then plugged another either-net cable from my XBox 360 (located downstairs) into the 4-way port, plugged the port into the wall socket, turned on the XBox, and I was logged into XBox Live in about half a second! Played some Modern Warfare 2 with absolutely no lag. Watched some video content too. Best decision I've ever made! And I can use the other ports for other things like Blu-ray, or another computer. TAKE THAT! MICROSOFT!

I own the Brite-View PowerOver Ethernet adpapter with the 4 port switch. It is a GREAT product. I used to do streaming from my Macbook to my PS3 via WIFI and i often had to reset my router or had skipping issues. I decided to give this product a try and could not be happier, just hooked it up and it WORKED, no configuration what so ever was needed.
Great for HD streaming and easy setup 5 starts from me!
