hey dan! i went wireless on my xbox 360, i found that the ethernet runs much faster, and that the you tube don't freeze no more. just rememeber that this cord is not heavy duty, but for the price, you can't go wrong. yes i will buy another one in the near future.

No. My wifi gives me very steady connection. It could be a problem of your wireless router.

NO! The ethernet router would need to be configured to accept a DSL signal; that isn'

Yes. All you need to do is connect the plug link into one off the ethernet ports and simply connect the other plug link from the wall to the computer you are trying too get internet service on. I used this for 9 months for bringing internet to my garage and i never had any problems.

Sorry, don't know about that stuff but I do know that this router will prioritize the connection to my xbox and you can monitor every device on your network from your PC. No more lag on gaming. No problems with this router.

I do not use the system that works through this modem for gaming and thusly can't provide a solid answer. However, this modem certainly does not seem to act as a bottle neck with respect to intermittent video downloads and general internet use.

I am an avid online game player as well so I've been searching for different options for my network setup. I do not have access to a wired connection, so I had to go either Wifi or EOP (Ethernet Over Power). I've gone through 2 different Wifi Extenders (Netgear model WN2000RPT-100NAS & Amped Wireless SR20000G) as well as 2 EOP sets (Zyxel PLa4225 kit & this Linksys Homeplug AV2 Powerline Kit PLEK500). By far my best experience has been with the Linksys EOP. With the ZyXEL kit I experienced a poor connection and my download speeds were cut in 1/2 (10Mb down on a 20 Mb/sec circuit). I also experienced frequent lag spikes which just kill online gaming fun. My Netgear Wifi Extender was OK, but it quit working completely after a year. I purchased the Amped Wireless extender which was a lot better than the Netgear and did give me full connection speeds but with any Wifi device it was not a stable connection and would sometimes lag spike. I finally purchased the Linksys EOP kit and have great success with it. I get great connection quality, great speed (full 20 Mb down 2Mb up), with no connection drops. Bear in mind any network device that is wireless or transmit data over power circuits will fluctuate a little and won't be as reliable or stable as a direct wired connection. In my environment, I've found this Linksys to be as close to a direct wired connection as I can get currently.

I do have ATT dsl but not uverse.I suggest if you have problems or questions CS is great.. I was having all kinds of problems with losing connection every time we loose power which is often. They spent a very long time with me. I never bothered to up date the firmware for 4 years and they took the time to walk me through the whole process of installing 4 updates. My router is at one end of my 2400 sf ranch home. I had 0 coverage in the family room at the other end. The unit works better than ever and now I don't have to go through the process of finding the router every time I loose power.

The computer will go as fast as your router will allow, I never had good luck with wireless speeds when playing online games. I always have the best results when I am plugged in, that has no bearing on the computer though, its mostly the wireless fault from the router.

Hello, if I understand you, this is posible. In fact, I have my actual connection very similar to your description. Look, I have one wireless router as my internet source and this is at my living room, so because my room is so far from there I connect one tp-link(1) to this principal router through a ethernet cable and I connect the another Tp-link(2) at my room and in this point with another ethernet cable I connect another wirless router with the same internet signal, so that is magic, now I have internet covering all the place without drop signal. I hope it helps.

Yes you will need some sort of router, this will not affect your computer speed.

You need an cat5 ethernet cord. I also found the system quite buggy. Would probably gotten something else. Also wouldnt do the update but leave it as is? Troublesome but attractive hardware.

I would recommend faster internet than DSL for online gaming, like cable internet. If your stuck with DSL like I am tho, this modem does work great. Its a much more stable connection than what AT&T sold me and works really good with my Asus RT-AC68U.

Yes, it is Ethernet. It only makes a difference if you have equipment that can utilise the connection.

My Xbox is downstairs about 20 feet away from my router, separated by one floor, and one wall. I haven't had many problems with my connection reliability (although during long streaming movies, I do sometimes get dropped).

This does not have a built in modem, the only advice I can give you for finding a built in Modem/Router is to look for a Router built for Gaming, they are always the best as online gaming requires large amounts of data flow, out and in. Myself personally, I would never combine the two. Reason, because if one goes out, they both go out. At least if the router quits working you can still Ethernet into the modem and get online.

Yes to your 2 questions. Only thing is mine came with a tape over the ethernet ports saying it did not recommend POE or something like that...I simply use the power adapter that they sold with it. I started with the first units, which were G wireless, and now my two units are both the OM2P-HS 300 mbps. I am entirely satisfied with the performance. Netflix on my Samsung Smart TV never freezes up, for instance. Check with the company about POE. The email is support@open-mesh.com
