  • Truly is plug and play installation, System is expandable, Stable connection, Out of the box the wireless is encrypted, Wireless is easy to configure if you go to the FAQ.
  • Documentation is very weak, May not be the best option for those who expect to support multiple HD streams, Would prefer more transparency on speeds advertised, Please drop by the Bigbruin.com Forum and feel free to post any comments or questions
  • I am quite surprised by Actiontec's decisions on this kit. To me it seems like they came so close to making a great device for just about every use you could think of, but it falls just short due to the use of 10/100 Ethernet ports. I realize that the adv...

  • The Actiontec Wireless Network Extender Plus Powerline Network Adapter 500 Kit quickly extends a home network for both wired and Wi-Fi clients. It's easy to use and more effective than traditional Wi-Fi range extenders
  • The kit uses slow Ethernet and Wi-Fi standards, and there's no instruction on how to customize the default Wi-Fi network. One of the adapters is very bulky
  • The Actiontec gets the job done for those who want to quickly extend their home network without much concern about performance....

  • Fast enough for even the most demanding media tasks, Low idle power consumption compared to competing technologies, Price
  • Electricity consumption relatively high under load scenarios, Blinking status lights are not suitable for many media consumption locations, Takes an outlet and does not work properly when connected to a surge protector
  • My previous experiences with Powerline Networking Adapters were very disappointing, but where those devices failed the Actiontec PWR500 kit produced a reliable, connected media experience. There is no substitute for standard wired Ethernet when it comes ...

  • The Actiontec 500 Mbps Powerline Kit (PWR511K01) is compact and affordable, and offers good performance
  • The Actiontec PWR511K01 kit's included adapters don't support Gigabit Ethernet, nor do they have a pass-through power socket
  • While not perfect, the Actiontec PWR511K01 for now offers the best value among power-line adapter kits on the market....
