Works perfectly [Posted on 2007-10-26]
I bought one of these along with the matching remote adapter (Actiontec MegaPlug 85 Mbps Ethernet Adapter) so my octogenarian father could migrate his TiVo from a phone connection to a broadband connection. I was extraordinarily impressed with the ease of installation. I talked my dad through it over the phone and it just worked, first time. No configuration. No software installation. No confusing complexity. He plugged this box in between his computer and wired router and plugged the remote into the TiVo. All the necessary cables were provided in the boxes. His router dished out a new local IP and in seconds the TiVo was phoning home over the Internet. Took about five to ten minutes start to finish. (FYI, his computer is in the basement and the TiVo on the first floor at the opposite end of the house. I'd guess he got a solid connection over what would be a 50' cable run.)

Runs Flawlessly with anything [Posted on 2008-01-26]
I want to tell you how great this hub works. I just recently moved into a bigger house and needed connectivity throughout. I called Actiontec before buying this to learn more about the product. I hooked it up downstairs and attached my PS2 to it.

I got the Actionec Megaplug twin pack as well. PS2 recognized it right away. I don't have any issues with playing mutliplayer. In fact the computer I am typing from right now is connected to this 4 port hub. It has no issues with my Actionec Router.

It works well with any of my systems (Win98,2X,XP & Linux & OSX). I do notice that the speed is not as fast as my other systems connected directly through the main router. But it is nothing to complain about. What's nice is that my other electronics are nearby and can connect to the net using it as well. So, this hub is very handy. I just absolutely like it! I am glad there is a great alternative to trying to run cables throughout your house.

I have no regrets.

Works as advertized out of the box, no fiddling [Posted on 2008-05-25]
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 1-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.
