Customer Review: Did exactly what I needed
Summary: 5 Stars
I was having a lot of frustration with XBOX and Unbox with streaming movies to my living room TV. I was constantly getting interruptions for buffering. So I wanted a really strong wireless bridge solution.
Found this kit while searching and it seemed to be what I needed. As soon as it showed up I had the thing set up in about an hour. I hooked one bridge up (via Ethernet) to my wireless router and the other I hooked up to my XBOX (via Ethernet), logged into each one messed around with a few config settings and fired up I Am Legend via Unbox. Not one interruption the movie played flawlessly! I'm so happy with this as it solved the problem I was having perfectly. It's also given me the added bonus of boosting my signal strength (only for wireless-n compatible devices) throughout my house.
Customer Review: Works great, once it is set up
Summary: 5 Stars
My reason for purchasing this product was to provide connectivity with our wireless network for our Direct TV receiver. I had looked at several products but only a few (including this one) advertised that they would work with a Macintosh computer network. The installation instructions consist of a single sheet of paper printed on two sides. I consider myself fairly computer literate but after following the directions I wasn't able to get the two units properly communicating with each other. A call to tech support was able to remedy this and now the system works perfectly for my needs. What I don't understand is why the company won't spend a few extra dollars to provide clear and concise installation instructions which would allow them to reduce the tech support payroll. Oh well.Customer Review: Amazing (updated comment below)
Summary: 5 Stars
Just set this up today, and:
1. Set up could not be easier. Plug both units in to an outlet. Plug in ethernet cables. Done. That's really it.
2. Compared to Netgear's HD Powerline connectors, these are amazing. Much, much faster connection speed. Using with an xbox 360 as a media center extender, and it's a completely different experience now.
Note: I did have issues with disconnects due to a 5.8 ghz Uniden phone system I was using in the house. I switched to a new DECT 6.0 phone system, and that immediately solved the problem. Speed and connection on the Netgear set up have been consistent ever since, so I'd still highly recommend these (and I like the new DECT phones as well!).
Customer Review: Great product!
Summary: 5 Stars
Just received this kit. Followed the easy directions and set everything up as default. Worked first time exactly as advertised. I am using this to stream HD video from my HP Vista Media Center computer(on my second floor) to my HP Mediasmart extender in my bedroom (first floor)as well as my PS3 in my living room (first floor). Vista media center has a tool to tune your network with a bar graph allowing you to move your bridge around to get the best reception. Before I installed this, my Mediasmart was only getting marginal performance. Now my bar graph is showing the best reception available. I can stream HD to my Mediasmart and my PS3 at the same time with no dropouts. I highly recommend this product!Customer Review: Couldn't be any simpler to set up

Here is my entire experience in setting up the Netgear bridge.
1. Opened box
2. Glanced at instructions (main point is to connect power LAST)
3. Plugged one of the boxes in to my router
4. Took other box to home theater enclosure and plugged in my DirecTV and HTPC
5. Connected power to both.
6. Boxes "found" one another and created a high-speed wireless bridge
In total, the above took 4 minutes and I've had FLAWLESS performance, including streaming Blu-Ray from a shared Network drive.
This thing is as close as I've experienced to a perfect product. Kudos to NetGear for getting it right.
