"Where Wireless Just Won't Work"
Pros: Easy to set up; great Linksys name & support; smooths out the "peaks & valleys".
Cons: Easy to set up; great Linksys name & support; smooths out the "peaks & valleys".
Summary: Living in a large 2-storey house, I just could not get a consistant wireless signal for my Dell laptop. I tried changing locations of the router; tried different routers; tried boosters, etc. Signal strength would be fine, then would start dropping the signal or reduce the strength so low, it was useless.
Then I heard about homeplug devices and that Linksys was re-introducing their Powerline product. After researching the different other various homeplug devices, I settled on Linksys for two reasons...first, the Linksys reputation and the fact that I've never had a problem with any Linksys product. Second, from reading various reviews, Linksys seemed to be the only supplier that provided free tech support.
I ordered the PLK200 kit (2 units) and an additional PLE200. Set up was fast and extremely easy and I say this as a complete newbie when it comes to doing anything like this. The set up wizard took about 2 minutes per unit and you instantly had a "wired" network using the house wiring.
I have used the Powerline adapter now throughout the weekend, trying it in every area of our large house and signal strength and availability has been constant throughtout. These products have really solved my problem and I would recommend them to anyone.
