Receive Wireless Internet Access from any Power Outlet in Your Home
As home networking continues to spread and evolve at rapid speed, some users find that their wireless router does not reach all corners or their home, or that they would like to have their wireless network originate from a point of their choosing, rather than be tethered to the point where the Internet enters their home. Other users would rather have a wireless network where no product is on the floor, and no cables are visible at all.
The WGX102 54 Mbps Wall-Plugged Wireless Range Extender allows users to have their wireless network originate form the middle of their home, or from the furthest extremity, with no visible cables. The WGX102 can be plugged into any electrical outlet to create an area of wireless access. The XE102 Wall-Plugged Ethernet Bridge connects to an existing wired or wireless router from any vendor.
Please Note: XE102 is sold separately.

REVIEW BY: my name is Reviewed
Aug 18, 2007
Very disappointing.
First, while my notebook does connect to this access point at 54Mbps, the transfer rate over the powerline is of only 14Mbps, giving me a max rate of 15KB/s. All of this while running my notebook off the battery... leading me to my next criticism.
Second (and most disturbing), when I plug the notebook into it's AC adapter, all communications cease. Took me a long and frustrating time to figure out this one!
Finally, this little box runs very hot, so after reading this, you still decide to buy it, make sure you can plug it away from anything that might light on fire.
Highly not recommended.
