I’m running a wireless network via Apple Airport Extreme. I tried using this gadget to connect my LG TV (with Yahoo Widgets) to the network: no problems. Setup was a snap. I then tried using this on my DirecTV DVR for Video On Demand: again, no problems.

I was expecting to get lag while watching streaming movies, but I saw no real difference between connecting via CAT5 and the Netgear WNCE2001.

I really can’t say much else about this little gadget. I am impressed.

After doing some preliminary research online, I was excited about the possibility of boosting my network to gigabit speed. I bought the Netgear GS605 switch along with Advantik gigabit network cards. After installing and connecting everything with CAT5e cabling, I was somewhat disappointed, not being able to attain the speed I had hoped for. It does seem that the gigabit leg of my network runs a little faster, but I still get some lag while streaming video via remote desktop from another computer, and the indicator lights on my switch show that my network is only running at 100 mbs. I plan to run a crossover cable between 2 computers with the Advantik NICs installed to see if the switch or some other component is the limiting factor. Depending on your hardware setup, it might not be worthwhile to upgrade your network.
