Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Slinglink Turbo 1PORT Enet Connection Bridge (SL 150-100)
Customer Review: Simple solution, does what it says
Summary: 4 Stars
The Slinglink does exactly as it says, creates a ethernet port through power outlet, and a strong connection at that. If I didn't have a wireless blu-ray and the wireless adapter for my xbox the 4 port version would be perfect for any home media setup.Customer Review: Great Product. Little trouble getting setup
Summary: 4 Stars
Great product from Sling Media and a great price on Amazon. It took some troubleshooting to get this product to work with the PRO-HD; it seems that our home router was making all of the fuss. After that was sorted out, it seems to be working fine.Customer Review: Works as advertised
Summary: 4 Stars
My router is a bit old and the wizard couldn't handle it. On the website, I didn't find my exact model but I found a similar one. The instructions for manually configuring the router were easy to follow.Customer Review: This might have worked, if.....

I have many Sling Media products and love them all. I am very pleased in general with Sling Media products. I just purchased a SlingCatcher to use in conjunction with my Slingbox because I have a TV in a room without a wired connection. The problem, is that my router is upstairs, while my SlingCatcher is downstairs. The solution should have been simple with the SlingLink...which is designed to turn your house's electrical wiring into an ethernet connection. The problem I found out was that the wiring upstairs differed from the wiring downstairs, so the SlingLink couldn't make a connection. After troubleshooting with the Sling Media people on the Sling Chat, it was determined that the SlingLink wouldn't work in my house. Instead, a wireless bridge was recommended. I then purchased the Linksys Wireless-N gaming adapter which has worked beautifully for my needs. All in all, the SlingLink may work for you in your house. However, beware that if your house is large (mine is 4000 square feet), then the SlingLink may not work due to the complexity of the electrical wiring. The wireless bridge will work much better. In a smaller house that is one level, I am sure the SlingLink would work fine. That is why I gave it only 3 stars.Customer Review: Didn't work for me at my house

I really don't want to give a particularly bad review for this product because it worked well at my friends house where we tested it after it didn't work at my house.
The problem for us was that we have direct runs from three rooms in our house since we knew these rooms would have more electronic equipment. (A direct run is basically just a separate electrical system in a particular room directly connected to the street service.) This is not the fault of the SlingMedia, it is the way our house was constructed. But it wouldn't surprise me if lots of custom houses are built this way in this day and age where we use so much electronic equipment. Nobody wants electrical problems when you turn on the blow dryer.
That's just the way that this technology works. Everything has to be on the same grid. Our house was just not set up that way. The two rooms with the most equipment, including the router, are on different grids than the rest of the house.
