 Works Great, but How About Connecting Receiver and BD Also July 27, 2010
Steve Scott (Riverside, California)
I got this directly from Direct TV, but I'm wondering if there is a better one that can connect more than one component. Both my receiver and Blue Ray player have ethernet port in back, and it would be great to connect them as well. I guess I could get some sort of switch, but one device would be better of course.
Easy... July 24, 2010
L. Williams (Atlanta, GA United States)
I ended getting this bridge at great price and decided to try it out. This device is working seamlessly so far and was very easy to set up. I didn't have any issues following the CD and connecting the device to a Cisco E3000 router. My Sony Blu ray is playing great and I even watched a whole movie without it buffering once. I tried the horrible ethernet cord across the floor and I'm glad to be rid of that tacky thing, so this a huge step up. I also tried the Sling Link turbo but it would only let me stream music, for some reason my Blu Ray did not like it. Overally this product is highly recommended if you own a Sony N460. I didn't have to go through the set or anything, the blu ray automatically connected. Great little bridge and overall positive experience. Love that the process wasn't overly complicated and dumbed down for us who are not technically savy.
Great Product July 19, 2010
Paul B. Cochrane (Baltimore, MD USA)
I added this adapter to my existing Linksys wireless-N network. After configuring it to communicate with my router I placed it in another building approximately 150 feet away and connected it via ethernet to a Mac. The Mac immediately picked up an IP address and I was off and running - haven't looked back. It's been up for a month with no problems at all.
 Installation nightmare July 18, 2010
Gwynne H. French (Illinois)
After seeing the adorable video clips on installation of this wireless bridge, I had confidence that it would install easily. Not for us. We got to the end of their very cursory screens only to get an error message we could not rectify on our own. I did the Linksys 24/7 Chat help for an hour, and it still would not go past that error message. The gal finally said she was not familiar with the Verizon wireless hub router, so the next day my husband called Verizon for help. Verizon put his phone call to a Linksys phone help person. It took an hour of going through screens "into places I have never been on my computer" but they got it working.
Now that it's working, it is very reliable and perfoms admirably. Maybe if you have a Linksys router, you would have an easier time than we did.
 Does not connect to E3000 router July 17, 2010
dfhbac0
This the 2nd WET610N i've tried to connect to a E3000 router. Both have failed. The first I tried Linksys support (what a disaster) they finally said return it as there probably was a hardware error in the unit. I was hopeful the second unit would work but no such luck, this behaved exactly as the first. Do not buy this unit it is a load of junk.
