    Customers are satisfied with the performance of the network interface controller adapter. They mention that it works like a champ, has good signal, and is easy to set up. They also mention that latency and ping were actually reduced using this as opposed to WiFi. The speed has been very good, and the distance does not diminish the speed. The utility for Mac or Win is clean and useful, if a bit spartan. Overall, they are very nice units and a good value for the passthrough.

    104 customers mention52 positive52 negative

    Customers have mixed opinions about the power pass-through of the network interface controller adapter. Some mention that it is nice and handy, while others say that it blocks both outlets. The size of the unit is too tall and poorly designed, and it tends to block the power outlet above it.

    "...unit (for use with say a computer and a home video system), outlet pass-through design so it doesn’t eat up the available outlet space, really..." Read more

    43 customers mention26 positive17 negative

    Customers are mixed about the quality of the adapter. Some mention that the quality is excellent, with no buffering issues at all. They say it delivers a higher quality signal than the cable, with high definition channels coming through strong. However, others say that they can only get 25Mbps, with poorer wiring, and the 1800 Mbps is a little deceptive.

    Customers are dissatisfied with the size of the network interface controller adapter. They mention that it takes up a little too much space on the lower outlet plug, and is bigger than expected. Some say that the adapters are bulky and tend to block the power outlet above them.

    "...1. The unit takes up a little too much space on the lower outlet plug, to the extent that I cannot plug in a 3-prong cord into the upper outlet...." Read more

    "...However, the device is just a tad too big, so the top outlet plug will be slightly covered...." Read more

    "The 2 thing paired up but displayed no internet connection and its so big that it takes up at least 2 ports vertically or horizontally" Read more

    Easy Connection to our Network
    5 Stars
    Easy Connection to our Network
    I needed 2 remote connection points for our wired network and did not see a single add on unit for sale so I had to purchase (2) pairs. They connected fast and synced up to our router with good throughput speed. One possible improvement to the case design would be to have the top of the housing a fraction slimmer to allow a grounded plug to fit above the unit if you are using the bottom half of the receptacle. Yes it has a passthrough receptacle but I wanted to connect directly to the open plug at the top. A standard 2 prong plug fits fine. Overall they are very nice units and a good value for the passthrough feature-connection speed-and 2 ethernet ports.
