Product Description

Product Description

Actiontec's new MegaPlug 85 Mbps Ethernet Adapter ups the ante for ease of use and network expandability. Just plug a MegaPlug Ethernet Adapter in any 2- or 3-prong electrical outlet in one room of your house, and another MegaPlug Adapter in any power outlet, and you've got instant network access across your power lines. What could be easier? If you need a simple way to extend your home network, the MegaPlug 85 Mbps Ethernet Adapter is the quickest and most economical way to do it.Nothing could be easier than creating a network connection with a pair of MegaPlug Ethernet Adapters. Instead of stringing unsightly Ethernet cables all over your house, the Adapters use your home's already installed and hidden power lines to transfer data at up to 85 Mbps, making every available electrical outlet a potential network connection. Your networking possibilities are suddenly endless!Use the MegaPlug 85 Mbps Ethernet Adapter to link your computers together, install a networked printer, or connect another device (scanner, networkable hard drive, etc.) to your network. The Ethernet Adapter even works with all popular gaming consoles, so playing networked games is a breeze. Integrated QoS (Quality of Service) is also included, ensuring smooth data transfers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works well, October 22, 2006
By Timothy Lam "trustedsince1996" (Temple City, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought a pair to connect my Panasonic IP Network camera to my router and to the Internet. They have been working very well and are problem-free for the past 6 months. It will even work with my older Linksys 14Mbps Powerline adapter. This adapter is also slimmer and smaller than the Netgear 85Mbps model, which means it won't block the other power plug, unlike the Netgear. It is also less expensive.

5.0 out of 5 stars Megaplug 85MBPS, August 9, 2008
By R. Murphy (Southlake, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I purchased the Actiontec two megaplug kit to extend my Fios home network because wifi was not fast enough (6 to 24MBPS). I purchased this megaplug to add another computer to the network. These products were suggested by my providers tech support when the WiFi was transmitting too slow. This product was easy to set up and provides a consistent stable connection for the other computers to connect to the Internet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works as advertized out of box. No fiddling needed., May 25, 2008
By Wes (San Francisco Area) - See all my reviews
After totally unsatisfactory wireless links, including fiddling with the Linksys Range Extender I gave up on wireless, using this for connecting two buildings on the property. Plugged in and it ran. Works fine with the Acitontec 85 mbps 4-port hub.

As other reviewers have said, you have a chance it won't work if the two places you want to connect are on the opposite phases of your power feed.

If that happens, it's never gonna work so send it back.
