Firstoff, I would say this device does what it is supposed to. Having used several powerline products like this, I will say that this one performs about as well as competing units. That said, there are few caveats I would point out. First, you’re only going to get acceptable throughput when both sides of the link are on the same household circuit. This is especially true with older homes who may have gone through electrical upgrades (like mine). Also, your throughput will suffer when you use other electrical devices on the circuit. For example, my video gets choppy whenever someone turns on/off the bathroom light which is adjacent to the bedroom where I have this unit located. For basic internet usage this is not a big deal, but if you’re streaming video to a media center like I am, it is somewhat of an annoyance.

I bought this product to work with my Slingbox because my router is in a different room from my TV. It worked perfectly out of the box. I also use it to convert my wireless network to a wired network using the household current and my internet speed has doubled. Great product, great concept. May help change the way we use computers in the home.

This product not only proved itself, but it solved the problem of having to drill holes and run cables through the house, especially in a very difficult area. I am extremely pleased with this item, and would like to see the price drop a little more, but all in all it is definitely worth the price and time involved. It took about 3 minutes to have it all setup. There is no programming at all, it’s all automatic.

This is one of those products that truly delivers. I instantly connected my son’s XBOX 360 to our high speed cable internet with one of the sling media units (he had been complaining about lag time.) He is thrilled with the improved performance. My Dish Network 622 receiver was instantly connected. This was such a joy to work with! No software or set up with my computer — never did anything more than connect a few cables and cords. Great job!

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3P99408ZH7T37 The SlingMedia Slinglink is economical way to extend the range of your router. Unfortunately, SlingMedia devices (Such as Sling Media SlingCatcher SC100-100 Universal Media Player for TV or Sling Media Slingbox SOLO (SB260-100) ) must be plugged directly into an internet source. The SlingLink allow you to use your home’s electrical wiring as a means to extend your router.
A couple of things
1 – You must plug the SlingLink directly into your wall socket. It will not work with a power strip or surge protector.
2 – Reaches speeds in excess of 1MPS
3 – Set-up is very, very easy
4- Only 1 port – so you can only plug one device into the unit.
5- Homes with older electrical wiring may have some issues
Final Verdict
I use the the SlingLink for use with my Sling Media SlingCatcher SC100-100 Universal Media Player for TV and I must say that it works perfectly. I have not come across a single issue (and if I do I will update this review).
