Product Description: The HD-PLC (High Definition Power Line Communication) Ethernet adaptor makes it possible for your home electrical wiring to serve as a link between your PC and modem.

You can move your PC and connect to the Internet anywhere there is a power outlet in your home!There's no tricky installation or complicated settings. Just take the BL-PA100A out of the box and plug it into the power outlet. Set up the other equipment on the network, such as routers and PCs, as described in their respective instructions. With speeds up to 190 Mbps, advanced error correction, and AES 128-bit encryption, the BL-PA100A provides peace of mind at the speed of light.
Works great with a tweak or 2. I bought this product on the reconmidation of other shoppers. The other reviews were on point with ease of use and speed. I love the fact that it uses a cord and not just the unit plugs into the wall and that you can test the speed on the unit itself. I just wanted to let other shoppers know that you can't half step on the directions or it will seem not to work or work poorly. When I first plugged it up I was getting very bad speeds or not connecting at all. So I had to make sure the stuff plugged into the same wall outlet with it were on a filtered surge protector. The problem was that I had all that stuff on a power strip. Once I switched it out all worked great. I get 2 bars for speed ( 10 - 30 mbps). I wanted to use it to hook my new Directv HD DVR to the internet. Now I don't know if it was the DVR or the power network but it didn't just plug in and work. So I had to set a static IP with the other settings to make it work ok. So if this is what you are getting it for get these settings off your pc (look at portforward.com to see how).
THIS IS GREAT It works perfectly. Thank you for shipping fast too. I love it. I now need more.
Panasonic Powerline Adapter My previous D-link powerline ethernet adaptor could not be upgraded to Vista. I thought I would try the Panasonic adaptor since it was self-synching and required no software. Unlike trhe D-link unit it did not work when the remote adaptor was plugged into an outlet in the same room as my computer. However, it worked fine when using an outlet in the next room, but this necessitated running an ethernet cable between the two rooms. It has been working fine without any loss of synch problems that I experienced frequently with my D-link product. In general I am very satisfied with this product. The alternative would have been to add a range extender for my wireless network which would have been a much more expensive option condering the very low Amazon price for the Pansonic powerline units.
Might not work for people living in apartments I had high hopes when I ordered this item from Amazon. To my dismay (and as stated by many in reviews) this device is a really poor performer if you live in an apartment complex where home-wiring is a little complex. I ditched the powerline option and got a DLink wireless router D-Link DIR-655 Extreme N Wireless Router. I had a linksys but this one blew me away with its performance. So if Wireless is an option and you live in an apartment complex, stick to WiFi...
GREAT GREAT PRODUCT!!! You cannot go wrong with this product. It works like a charm....Only good things can be said.....Great job Panasonic....inexpensive product and it works like magic.
