Comments about Netgear XEB1004 - 85 Mbps Powerline Ethernet Switch Kit:

These things are great for a big house where a wireless router just won't do. Initially I had plugged them into power strips but I noticed that my Hava box was streaming slower then wireless speeds. Then I plugged them directly into the power outlets on the wall and speeds doubled.

Comments about Netgear XEB1004 - 85 Mbps Powerline Ethernet Switch Kit:

I couldn't get good wireless reception in all rooms of my large house, and had no way to move the wireless router from its location. This product provides good access in any room in the house where the wireless signal was poor.
