Power line Adaprters,
By Raja (Queens, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: GigaFast PE901-UI 14Mbps HomePlug USB Network Adapter (Personal Computers)
Power line is the way of future. I hear these are being used for Cheap Internet Access in Singapore and parts of Thailand by the upcoming ISP'sThere are 2 models. USB model is best if you But if other wise I suggest purchasing a Bridge model which is extendable. All the Required accesories come in the box and you will not normally need any thing except your System... I have been using these for the Last 6 months and they never failed. The Throughput is good and installation is a breeze. Gigafast seems to have a lot of help on their site for installation and much info is sent in the box. Security is a bit low and I dont suggest them for Multi Dwellings if the Power is shared between 2 adjoining Apartments. But beware of the rebates being Promised by Gigafast. I did not receive the rebate for two adapters I have purchased as on date after 6 to 8 months. Raja

3.5 years, still going strong,
By Vic (Belmont, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: GigaFast PE901-UI 14Mbps HomePlug USB Network Adapter (Personal Computers)
I bought a pair of these in April 2003 and they've been in continuous use ever since. I just disconnected them today as I've gone completely wireless. They have always "just worked" - I've never had the problems the previous poster mentioned (about broadband). The machine on the remote end was able to get an IP address via DHCP (sent from a WRT54G) without issues. Note that you can't plug in a hub or switch to this and expect to have multiple network connections on the remote end (at least, I was never able to). At varying times I've had (individual) computers, tivos and slingboxes hooked up, though, and they all worked fine.

Just a tad dishonest in promotion,

Even the install instructions ignored the restrictions (broadband needed). We had to get the sad news from the tech reps after spending a lot of waiting time for someone to respond and admit that the equipment is not able to perform under conditions that are less than optimal. I would say the glowing reviews appear to have been faked.
The only good part of the transaction was the no question asked return by amazon. However, I am still waiting on the credit to my credit card. |
