It is cute, in a corny 1950’s sci-fi sort of way. Unfortunately, the reviews (both professional and user) are mixed at best. ---

I have two of a similar product in my house and they cause me more problems than they are worth, so as soon as possible I am going to hard wire every room in my house. Dennis ---

Good to hear you have had a positive experience with it. When I looked it up to see what it is/does, I immediately came across the PCMag review [click](http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2412996,00.asp), as well as others who were not positively impressed. There are many excellent such products, of course, so there are oodles of options. For such a mature technology it is surprising consumer wireless networks remain highly variable in performance and often tricky to set up. ---

A serious switch. Are you running HP servers, or does it still have specific benefits when used with non-HP? ---

I will use together with the Linksys Ethernet Bridge, where I connect my P10, TV, Lumin, ATV3, XBOX 1, etc. No specific reason for using it, except that I like overkill! ![cool](http://www.psaudio.com/wp-content/forum-smileys/sf-cool.gif "cool") ‘Too much is not enough’ and ‘If in doubt - double it’ ![dancing-009_gif](http://www.psaudio.com/wp-content/forum-smileys/dancing-009.gif "dancing-009\_gif") ---
