Followed the setup guide. The units would run fine for about 15 minutes then the remote end would just quit working. I did the IP configuration settings another poster recommended. This allowed me to bring up the web browser configuration for the devices. Then I downloaded from Comtrend the latest firmware and upgraded the units. Running better so far. Honestly not something a non-tech person could work through. You have to manually set your laptop/PC IP settings to so you can connect to the 192.168.0.5 management address. Make the changes to the device. Don't reset, just unplug and plug back in. Very unclear how to get the new settings to take effect. Somehow I got the firmware upgraded, the IP addresses changed so I can manage, and they are working. The statistics page on the devices is showing 60+mps TX rates. This across a power panel, the main power feed from the electric company, then another power panel panel. Impressive once you get it all configured and upgraded.

I have a shop about 20 feet from my house on the same outside meter. Couldnt get it to work so called the Comtrend and was told it should work and they would have a tech person call me back. After a week of waiting for call back, I returned them. About a week and a half later got the call back too late. Makes me wonder if they wait to make call back so it would be after the return window and I would be forced to keep even if they never worked.

Hopefully this review will save users of this, Nexuslink and Zyxel , all the same, a few hours of install time. The documentation is WRONG on the default DHCP settings. It is NOT set for DHCP by default. The default setting is DHCP off and a hardcoded ip of 192.168.0.5 subnet 255.255.255.0. Following the manual that ships with these will not yield a working product. It is recommended you configure each of these individually with a laptop connected directly to the adapter before adding to your network. Failure to do so will result in all adapters having the same IP which prevents configuration and poor performance due to duplicate addressing and/or improper subnetting. Once you enable DHCP or assign corrected static addresses the installation becomes a breeze and the performance is fantastic.NOTE A factory or hard reset will revert the DHCP and static ip back to the defaults.After a few hours and proper setup, I’ve been running these for 3 days straight. They were a direct replacement for my discontinued and defunct (Extollo) AV2000 adapters. On average I’m seeing an impressive 3 to 6 times performance improvements. My longest run on my old adapters ran at about 15Mbps. With these G.hn adapters I’m seeing between 33-50Mbps. In a few weeks I’ll have a better overall compassion but I can already see the difference in streaming services to the bedroom.

I purchased this one because the device housing has some openings, hoping that, unlike the cheaper version, it wouldn't overheat.But unfortunately had to give up, again, using this.It works great, initially, and my review was 5 stars for the cheaper model.But when the room reaches ~84°F (28°C) the device overheats and works erratically.It may work for 3 hours, then stops for some time.'Overheating' for networking devices is usually due to using cheaper electronics components that barely withstand the network speed they are required to reach.

I have used powerline adapters for years. I have gone from Netgear Powerline 1200 PLS1200S adapters, to Comtrend PG-9172 adapters to PG-9182 adapters. I live in a house with wiring from 1972 (its on the circuit breaker box). With the Netgear PLS1200S adapters I got 20-40 meg throughput (and the adapters would hang 5 to 50 seconds periodically), Comtrend PG-9172 I got 40 - 60 meg throughput and PG-9182 I get 100 to 120 throughput. I have 4 adapters that I used for each test and the speed listed is the worse case scenario, in other rooms I got better speeds. PG-9172 adapters do not communicate with PG-9182 adapters and using both model of adapters at the same time significantly degrade network performance. If you have older wire/electrical boxes in your house theses adapters work well.
