Well, I was ready to tackle a series of issues, as networking or trying to get anything connected in my house is usually a heavy reading affair. I plugged in and that was it. i was sure it was a trap of some kind… but truly it was that easy. It worked for me with no set up, no wep codes ( i was on wi fi previously ) just connect and go. I don’t really like writing reviews , but i had to for this because it was so awesome for me.
My Steps:
Connect your dsl router on one. ( in my case it was on the opposite side of the house )
Plug in 2nd one in the power jack closest to the device you’d like to hook up. shazam. done.
the end.

I purchased this looking to an alternative to the crappy wifi that we have had issues with its reliability and speed. This thing just plain works. faster and more reliable than wifi, super easy to setup, just plug in and go. One note, some electrical issues, I had to move the “base” unit to make it work throughout the house. No real issue though. Would recommend this and I may get more.
