| 67 of 68 people found the following review helpful  Easy setup but with some things to know, By Al (New England) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: ZyXEL PLA407 HomePlug AV 200 Mbps Powerline Wall-Plug Adapter (Starter Kit - 2 Units) (Personal Computers) Out of the box, I plugged one into an outlet near my router, and another near my computer and got instant internet access! The company claims 200 mps max and currently getting right now according to their utility software between 75 and 80. That works for me as right now I have Comcast's 50 mps internet service and really don't do file transfers between my network computers so it's perfect.Okay things getting a little more tricky if you want: 1. Encryption 2. Setting up a network name. Encryption; followed the instructions to the letter and I could not get the encryption setup. Lights wouldn't blink as they should. I was pressing the encryption button on the controller adapter (the one plugged to the router) and then pressing the encryption button on the remote (the one plugged into my computer). I have both of them plugged into outlets next to each other in the same room but I could not get the remote adapter to pick up on the encryptio n. After first pressing the encryption on the remote and then the controller, it seems to take although I don't have a way to verify if encryption is implemented as there is not indication in the utility software or on the devices themselves. Would have been nice to let you know that encryption is active. Setting up a network name; don't do it. After getting the MK Password on the remote (controller) adapter, I tried to setup a network name but ended up each time making my remote adapter not being able to join the network because the network name was not assigned to the remote adapter even though I indicated to apply the network name to all connected managed devices. I've given up since it is buggy to me. All in all happy with the HomePlug device and will continue to use them. If it works good for the next 6 months, I am going to buy more adapters to add to my HomePlug network. UPDATE: After reading the user guide several times, I finally fig ured out I was reseting the adapters by pressing the encryption button for more than 10 seconds, which would wipe out and reset the network name. I finally figured out both setting up the network name and the encryption. Press the encryption button only for 2 seconds on each devices. My take on this, if you do want to setup either encryption or a network name or both, read the user guide very very carefully. The user guide does not have the most intuitive directions and before trying to setup security on these adapters, read the guide very carefully before proceeding, apparently something I will do in the future. 68 of 70 people found the following review helpful Works brilliantly - plug and play!, By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: ZyXEL PLA401v3 HomePlug AV 200 Mbps Powerline Wall-plug Adapter (Starter Kit - 2 units) (Personal Computers) I've had this product for a couple of months and am pleased to report that it works brilliantly. Installation couldn't be simpler. I plugged each of these into an outlet in the same room/same circuit and attached one end to a RJ45 Ethernet wall jack and the other to my DirecTV HR22 DVR. The DVR immediately saw that it had Internet access and was able to stream high definition movies (DirecTV's "whole home DVR" feature) anywhere in my house.I had previously tried to stream high definition movies using aTRENDnet Wireless N Gaming Adapter TEW-647GA (Black) connected to my 802.11G network. The trendnet over 802.11g was not able to stream high definition content. Even when the trendnet was able to connect reliably, high def content streamed so poorly that it was unwatchable. With the ZyXEL, high definiti on streams without any glitches! We are quite pleased as we had no other way to get an Internet connection to our HR22's location. The connection has been 24/7 reliable- we've never had to reset these or touch them in any way. It really was as simple plugging them in. Note: I haven't tried running this over different circuits. -------------------- 9 month followup: This product has worked flawlessly since the day it was installed. I've never had to reset them or mess with them in any ways. It's refreshing to find a product that "just works" in this age of complexity and "beta quality". 21 of 21 people found the following review helpful In my house with Comcast internet service, By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: ZyXEL PLA401v3 HomePlug AV 200 Mbps Powerline Wall-plug Adapter (Starter Kit - 2 units) (Personal Computers) I discovered this product via a team-mate at work. He said he had problems with his in-house wifi. He said this was a snap to set up. I am pleased to report that his estimation of the ZyXEL prodeuct was spot-on! Total time to set up the ZyXEL network took less than 15 minutes. The only reason it took 15 minutes is that it took me two tries to find two wall outlets on the same circuit. But once found and connected ... Wow!! I have a Blu-Ray DVD that connects to both Netflix and You Tube. Since I have a Netflix account, I was able to connect to Netflix immediately and scan the movies/programs in my queue. Playing movies through the ZyXEL connection worked perfectly. Occasionally, my Comcast network speed increased/decreased and my DVD recomputed the best settings to yield the best playback. It's a little annoying when this happens; but this is a "feature" of Comcast. The ZyXEL performed perfectly. |
