From the Manufacturer A SlingLink is a convenient way to connect your Slingbox to the Internet. If you’re like most people, you don’t have an ethernet jack right next to your television. Rather than running long wires all around your house, or having an expensive technician re-wire your home, you can just purchase a pair of SlingLink adapters. Like an extension cord for the Internet, the SlingLink uses your home’s existing electrical wiring to transmit the ethernet signal from your router. Plug one SlingLink into the wall near your router, and plug in the other SlingLink wherever you have your Slingbox installed. Voila--your Slingbox is connected to the Internet! Best of all, the SlingLink does not impact the performance of your network. It simply placeshifts your home’s Internet connection from your office to another household room via your electrical wiring. Now wherever you have a wall socket, you can have the same broadband connection - without installing any new wires or outlets. SlingLink Features Least expensive way to connect your Slingbox to your router without wires Optimized for use with the Slingbox Simple one-step installation High speed, supporting up to 14Mbps connection

Most helpful customer reviews 31 of 31 people found the following review helpful. Has minor limitations, but serves its purpose well By sonytoao The SlingLink is an ethernet bridge which will allow you to connect ethernet-capable devices via your home electrical wiring. It uses the HomePlug Powerline 1.0 standard, which is well-established. (You can Google the term homeplug to learn more.) Note that this standard only provides a data throughput of 14Mbps even if your home LAN is 100Mbps-capable. But this is not necessarily a bad thing if you have multiple users sharing your home network - in addition to having the ability to cap the bandwidth utilization via the SlingPlayer software, the SlingLink itself will also be throttled so as not to hog your entire home internet access pipe.As another reviewer has noted, you must also connect both SlingLink boxes to outlets on the same circuit. SlingMedia technical support confirms that this latter requirement is one of the more misunderstood issues involving the device.So, check your home wiring first (i.e. which outlets are connected to which circuit breakers) before buying to ensure that you can place the SlingLink where you want it. (But this is good practice for homeowners anyway).With those limitations in mind, most users will encounter no problems with the device. Setup is easy and with the above cautions in mind, it works as advertised. 18 of 18 people found the following review helpful. works, but not always needed By Schomer This product works well. Just plug it in, and go. But if you have a large house like I do, your transfer speeds might not be suitable. Not an issue with the product as much as my house.To get around this, I went another direction. I bought a wifi game adapter. It's targeted to getting your XBox or Playstation on your network, but works just the same for the Slingbox, and it's half the price - under $50. You plug your slingbox into the game adapter, and the adapter connects wirelessly to your existing wifi network. I think the one I picked up was from Linksys. 14 of 14 people found the following review helpful. As easy to install as the SlingBox By Network dude The Slinglink arrived with the two boxes that plug into the electrical outlets, two cables, and little documentation. Having jumped through multiple hoops and pulled out a lot of hair in the process of setting up my wireless network, I was more than a little doubtful that it would work. However, it was up and running as quickly (2 minutes!) & easily as my slingbox. I had no problems at all getting a connection. I'm getting a second unit to help cover longer distances for my other devices rather than extending my wireless coverage. See all 38 customer reviews...

By Dixie Blue Eyes I purchased this item after recently purchasing the Alfa, also offered by this seller on Amazon. (USB 500mW WiFI Adapter for Wardriving & Range Extension *Strongest on the Market* $51.99)I liked the Alfa but this one had a bigger antenna and was cheaper and looked almost identical to my Alfa so I decided to give it a try. I'm not loving it. The setup was much more difficult and I couldn't get it working on my desktop running XP at all. The Alfa plugged right in and runs like a dream on it. Also, I actually get worse reception with the big antenna than I do with the small one.All and all, I would recommend the Alfa over this one for ease of installation (installed on XP with no additional work and installed on Vista with driver from website pretty easily). Also the Alfa seems to more consistently maintain the signal and I got more bars with it then I am getting with this GSky.Spend the extra few dollars and go with the Alfa. (By the way, I am a SAH mom, not a computer geek, so keep that in mind when I talk of ease of install and setup.) 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. doesnt work By Kracranium I get more connections through the wifi device that comes with my computer.and the small antennae picks up better signals than the bigger one. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. For the price, very slick! By Jason W. Chenard Hard to complain about this for $30. Install was smooth, and it pulls in signal like I've never seen. Marginal systems at motels are now 100% reliable. And when you're out and about, there's usually (ahem) some router nearby that'll get you a quick email check. I'm ordering a second one shortly! See all 17 customer reviews...

Your new SmartTV and game system can do amazing things like stream stunning HD movies and let you play intense, multi-player games with opponents around the world. The fact is you'll only get the most out of your system with a wired Ethernet connection. But who has the time or money to wire their whole house with Ethernet? Wi-Fi's not the answer; it's convenient, but it's slow and unreliable. This is why we created PowerNet. Wi-Fi is great for email…but for entertainment, PowerNet is better. It's a no-brainer.

Caldwell With my new Samsung Blueray, not only can I pop in a Blueray disk but my model has Netflix, Pandora, You Tube, and Blockbuster download and play capability via wireless connection. Problem was my router is upstairs on one end of the house and the Blueray is downstairs on the other end of the house, some 60+ feet distance; and not even a linksys WRT610N would send enough signal to get better than a 10% success rate on the download. Most of the time, it just chugged and chugged and then timed out. Solution: Monster Powernet 200 which sends the signal through your electrical wiring. It takes 2 units of equipment to get started - thus it's called a starter kit. You just plug one into a wall outlet at your PC and connect an ethernet cable from the Powernet to the router. Plug the other Powernet unit into a wall outlet at your Blueray and connect an ethernet cable from it to your Blueray player. Then go into setting on your Blueray and change the connection type from wireless to cable. Now the movies download in about 10 seconds. Another plus is now that the first 2 units are installed, I can add additional units in another room of the house where I have an ethernet ready TV. My only word of caution is that the Powernet unit plugs into both sockets of a typical wall outlet, then compensates by having an outlet on both sides of the unit; but not all plugs may fit into it because of angled plug shapes. 14 of 15 people found the following review helpful. high-speed networking that is somewhat wireless at wired speeds By O. CHAVEZ I loved my network-able Blue-ray player I purchased, but I hated the wireless adapter which left me always praying my Netflix or U-tube content would actually play. Same with my networkable TV, I'd always lose the radio or the news. My PS3 online gaming was a joke wirelessly. I dreaded running a network cable from my livingroom into my bedroom. Such a downer for such great products.However, I found this little device and AMAZINGLY everything works flawlessly! It's literally plug and play. High-speed networking that's virtually wireless!!! You need one on your router end to plug "wire" a Cat5/ethernet cable into and one for wherever you want to have a "wired" connection for your equipment. You use a Cat5/ethernet cable to "wire" your components into the Monster PowerNet which is plugged into the wall. No cables between rooms, only between your router to PowerNet which plugs into the outlet and one from your components to the PowerNet 200 or 300.You may have to reset your components from wireless to wired, but after that, it just works! NO more jagged netflix, waiting for info to load, missed songs or slow online gaming. It actually downloads the best quality off netflix. I'm really happy with this. I'm used to wiring and setting up computers, home theatre, and complicated set-ups. I was really amazed at how easy it was.Good luck and buy it! It really is worth it if you use networkable products, or even if you have a wireless deadspot in your home. I'm glad I found this because it's much cheaper than running network cables through my home which was going to run me ($3,000-$4,500).BTW the difference between the PowerNet 300 and PowerNet 200 is the PowerNet 300 allows for more than one component (4 ethernet ports) in a room. The PowerNet 200 has only one ethernet connection. The PowerNet 200 & 300 also gives you some surge protection & line conditioning (clean power filtering) which erases some of the "buzz/noise" or interference in your walls to give a faster connection. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful.

A very solid router but certainly not for amateur By A power home user As a home user, after upgrading my broadband to 6.0mb/s from Comcast, both my netgear and linksys routers were overwhelmed and couldn't cope up with all the activities for the 5 computers, Xbox360 and Slingbox in the house. After researching all the business class routers, including Netgear, Linksys, Sonicwall and others. Finally, I've decided that Cisco is the best product that would solve my problem. Knowing that this is a sophiscated product, I ordered the most basic router without wireless access (hence less variables to configure). Amazon has the best price among all the websites though you certainly don't get any type of technical support from them. As expected, the router requires some professional knowledge to configure. Being a home user, I only changed very few settings through the SDM software that came with the router and it worked very well within my network. The performance of the router is impressive and I am getting the same download speed if I connect my PC directly to the modem. With all the loaded activities in the house, the CPU usage was just around 40%. This router certainly is of professional quality and doesn't even warm up after leaving it on all the time.On the flip side, I found that the user interface (SDM) to manage the router is a little over complicated. It could be much more simplier but is still acceptable. The command line interface through the console port is definitely for professional who knows exactly what they are doing. Through the command interface, you can get almost all status and configuration from the router. I dare not to modify any configuration using the console interface because I'm not sure what I'll be changing. In addition, this router is 4 times more expensive than the ones you can get from local retail stores. Overall, I would recommend this router if you need the quality and performance. Otherwise, stay with the consumer products from Linksys or Netgear. 24 of 24 people found the following review helpful. The most reliable part of my network By Albert K. Lee I am a software engineer who sometimes thinks he's a network engineer too. I run one commercial and one private system from home, with DNS, web, and e-mail service for each, and have a commercial broadband connection through Verizon Online DSL with 5 static IP addresses. After spending days reading specs and reviews of various pro-consumer routers, SOHO routers, and enterprise routers, and after having experienced downright horrible router software and performance from home/consumer routers, I decided on going with a Big Name and it's been a WONDERFUL investment.I am comfortable working on all kinds of UNIX systems, so I am very comfortable with setting things up using a command line through telnet and ssh or by transferring files with scp. This router uses standard Cisco IOS software and there was a real wealth of documentation available on the web, and I was able to get up and running without purchasing any additional books. Once everything was set up, it never needed to be touched, and the router has been chugging along with no hiccups and at full speed.What I had was: - a pool of 5 static WAN IP addresses from my ISP - an internal 192.168.x.x network - web/email/dns/ntp/etc. servers on the internal network - ethernet connections for everything (I have a separate DSL modem)I wanted a router that: - was straightforward for a competent network engineer to configure - could implement NAT the way I wanted to - was totally silent (no fans!) - would not flake on me - had a firewallI got more than I wanted. This router also: - stores its identity/configuration in a single file, which I can archive - supports SNTP (only), so it gets its time from my local NTP servers - does a lot more than I need/useAll in all, I am writing from the point of view of an advanced user, and

This 50ft CAT5e cable works fine in my home theater setup (Viera Cast streaming). It's flexible enough to wind around various corners of living room. Seems well made. Price was right, shipped quickly with Amazon Prime. It's not Cat6 but who cares. Most people aren't even using the full 100baseT throughput let alone Gigabit. Cat5e should support Gigabit Ethernet anyway. For my purposes this works, I am happy. 0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. It's cheap and it works.

Well, some cables are noticeably cheap and nasty and some are obviously designed for use with super computers. This one falls into the middle ground that fits almost every home user. In a nutshell, if you have a computer in a different room to your modem or router then this cable does the job nicely. The toughest thing is the DIY job you have to do to get it under floors and/or through walls. The snagless protectors do what they are supposed to do so if you need to move the cable then the release catch cannot "grab" hold of other cables. Particularly one of the million strands of spaghetti that hang down behind our computer desks. We've all been there trying to unhook the cable we are trying to pull out from under the desk which usually ends up with us banging our heads on the keyboard tray.So, nice price for 50' of cable that works perfectly and it easy to use if you're moving it at all. Job done, .. oh, except for drilling those holes and crawling through the crawl space. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Very good price By Conrad D.
