"Works well until first power glitch"
Pros: Good data rates and easy setup
Cons: Dies at first power glitch
Summary: I bought three of Netgears ethernet adapters and they were easy to setup and solved my problem with wireless range. The data rate in my house was in the neighborhood of 20Mbps rather than the 80 claimed but that is normal for actual vs. promised rates.
Unfortunately, they can't be plugged into a surge protector because they won't connect. We had a flicker in the lights in our house and one of the adapters died. Within two weeks the other two died as well.
Back to wireless we went with a new higher gain antenna. Needless to say, I was very disappointed.

Are you sure that your review reflects this product? The claimed data rate for this device is 200Mbps not 80Mbps, although sensitivity to power surges is probably relevant in both devices.
