  This product is so simple to deploy and took no time to install. I originally ordered one and like it so much I ordered three more. Every room in my house has one and no wires were necessary. I would highly recommend this product. It was worth every penny. I love this item.

  packaging of this item is very simple: just a plain white cardboard box. not even a manual explaining how it works.
  
  i got this as my solution for getting a blu-ray player that requires wired ethernet connection online: plug #1 to a router and power source, and #2 to the blu-ray player’s ethernet and usb port (for power), and it’s done. no setup required. the process is extremely easy. the down side is the network box takes up the only usb port on my blu-ray player, and this only works one to one – any other players that require wired network access would have to get their own bridge kits.

  Folks

  This one is clearly a winner. It took me 5 minutes literally set this up to experience BDLive. I suggest this for any one looking for an affordable solution and its small in size as well.

  Cheers

  This item was custom made for my application and worked right out of the box. No setup. No configuration. Just plug and play. I have a standard wireless router in my house that several computers use to connect to the internet. Very vanilla. I also have a data collection box for a solar panel array in my garage. In the past, I used a wireless extender (Linksys) to connect to the router. Anyone who has tried this will tell you that sometimes it works….but reboots are necessary VERY often with some extenders (like mine). This device changed everything. It comes with two small wireless transmitter/receivers. Number 1 gets plugged into the router with an Ethernet cable, and is powered at a wall socket. The second unit connects to my data collection box in the garage with an Ethernet cable and is powered by the data collection box via a USB connector.
  
  That’s it. No configuration. Just plug it in. The two devices talk to each other and provide a virtual wire without the hassle of setup menus, WEP/WPA personal 2, DCHP, SSID, blah, blah, blah. It just plain works. Thanks ASUS!

  It just saved me the cost of having my electrician run a cable from my router (on one floor) to the blu ray player (in the basement on the opposite side of the house). I plugged in the bridge, about 30 minutes later the two parts were talking, the network ID’d and I had network linkage. I was then able to update my Sony Blu Ray player’s software. The whole process was fast and easy. I am impressed — no codes, no calls to tech support; I didn’t pull out any hair or swear. I just plugged it in and it worked — amazing for a computer device. It is also small, sleek and stylish.

  It was easy to install and works well. No problems other than the fact that the price was a little too high for what it is and what it does.

  I needed to connect home network to Blu-Ray player and of course my house is not wired and my wife didn’t want any extra holes in the wall or extraneous cables running around. This item filled the bill, and although a little pricey (IMO) it was much less expensive than a wired installation done correctly. Another reviewer has already noted the lack of instructions, but being somewhat tech savvy, and having read some of the other reviews, (Thank you reviewers), I was up and running about 10 minutes after unpacking the box.
  
  I have been using this item for about a month now, and have had no issues. The unit is used to access Netflix streaming and Pandora and I am very well pleased.

  I was surprised at how small they were when I opened the box. I was expecting 2 units the size of a router. They are a little smaller than a deck of cards.

  They come in a white box. No instructions.

  Setup: Easy. Just plug in and go. Comes with 2 patch cables, 1 AC-DC transformer and 1 USB cable (for power.) It was nice that they are wall mountable.

  Seat of the pants testing shows that it is running quicker than my laptop’s normal wireless link.

  My router shows 1 of the units as a wired connection, and shows my laptop as a wired connection.

  I was impressed with it, I was expecting to have to fiddle with it for a good while.

  The only thing that is disconcerting is that I can’t find much about it on the internet.

  I’m convinced it’s magic. After fiddling with another wireless bridge for over 3 hours, I returned it and bought these. No setup– even my father could install these.

  I got these to bridge my DSL connection that is in a closet. I was going to install a shuttle PC with Firewall software on it and connect my wifi router to all that. Long story short, since my closet doesn’t have AC it get so hot in there, my shuttle shuts down. I now hooked the TX into my DSL modem, with the power supply hooked into my power strip in the closet. These boxes are very small, so easy to work with. The RX is in my office, hooked into my shuttle and the 2nd NIC of the shuttle is hooked up to my wifi router. Works like a charm. The SSID of these boxes is not published, so it doesn’t show up in the list of wireless networks which is great. Great product, great price and awesome performance.
