It works but...
Strengths: Portability,
Set-Up and
Expandability
Weaknesses: Connection Issues,
Interference and
Price
Summary: Here are couple of things I like about it. It's portable which means you can use it pretty much anywhere in your house. If you have an electrical outlet you have an ethernet drop. The set-up was pretty straight forward. I installed the monitoring software on my computer and plugged them in where I wanted them and the computer recognized them and I could see what kind of signal they were getting. Another thing I liked was that you can add as many devices as needed. I think I read you can have as many as 16 of these devices in your house, but I can't imagine anyone needing that many.
Now here comes the bad. I have been having a lot of weak signal and lost connection issues. I'm not sure what is causing them. It could be that they are all on different circuits in the house and the signal doesn't travel across different circuits well. I don't know what's causing the weak signal but another thing I read is that lamps, TV's and other devices can cause interference and this interference can cause weak signals. You know, I don't know anyone who has a house that doesn't have lamps, TV's, refrigerator and other devices but if you run across someone like that you let me know. I also thought the price was a bit steep for the PLK200 two pack.
Overall, I have been extremely disappointed with the poor signal strength with these devices. If I had it to do over again I would not have bought it.
