Customer Reviews

Very Poor
This product emits an annoying high pitched sound which in my opinion makes it unsuitable for home use. I also think the setup software is poor and very confusing.

Unbearable high pitched noise coming from unit
Just received today - plugged it in and worked within seconds - however the unit emits an unbearable high pitched racket which you can even hear on a different floor!
The manual has no troubleshooting information there are no contact details on the manual or packaging or the hopelessly out of date manufacturer's website.
Sending this back to Amazon immediately

You get what you pay for!
I already have an ethernet Devolo setup but wanted a wireless one as well, this does work with it but unfortunately I could not set up any security on this as the CD that came with it does not play in my laptop (Vista premium 32 bit) so there's no way I will use it without security. Also, the unit itself is so big I could barely turn on the power switch on the mains socket and it makes a loud high pitched noise which is frankly annoying and no way could I listen to that all day, 10 mins was enough.
