At the time of purchasing this item, I was sceptical about this device working, and if it works, will the speeds be good enough compared to a direct ethernet connection.
It worked out of the box. It was literally plug-n-play. I connected my NBN box to the device with the single Ethernet port and across my home in another room plugged in my NBN router to the device with 3 ethernet ports. Switched on both and it simply connected with no visible drop on internet speed. I haven't uses any tool to measure, but can say it works well as I'm streaming full HD movies through my NBN WiFi router which is connected to this device.
These devices are new to me and I don't know much about what's a good brand. I did some quick searches on the Internet to read a few reviews on these devices. But then there are two reasons why I purchased this particular model. Firstly, it has a built in 240V plug on top of both devices. We all know the wall points are so close to each other that if you put a large 240v plug in, it makes the other 240v point unusable. This is a nuisance. You have to use an extra multi-port 240v adapter which has at least 3 ports so you can plug in your NBN/ADSL box as well as such a device otherwise you'll come across the same issue as a wall port. This device resolves that issue. The second feature was 1.3GB speeds. This is the maximum I have seen so far. I still see 500MB speed or some even less in the market. I'm not sure why those even sell as the bandwidth is so low for today's standards.
Final word: The device works as expected. In fact, I'm happier I got this rather than running an ethernet cable from one end of my home to the other.
