Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3P99408ZH7T37 The SlingMedia Slinglink is economical way to extend the range of your router. Unfortunately, SlingMedia devices (Such as Sling Media SlingCatcher SC100-100 Universal Media Player for TV or Sling Media Slingbox SOLO (SB260-100) ) must be plugged directly into an internet source. The SlingLink allow you to use your home's electrical wiring as a means to extend your router. A couple of things 1 - You must plug the SlingLink directly into your wall socket. It will not work with a power strip or surge protector. 2 - Reaches speeds in excess of 1MPS 3 - Set-up is very, very easy 4- Only 1 port - so you can only plug one device into the unit. 5- Homes with older electrical wiring may have some issues Final Verdict I use the the SlingLink for use with my Sling Media SlingCatcher SC100-100 Universal Media Player for TV and I must say that it works perfectly. I have not come across a single issue (and if I do I will update this review). 5 Stars

You cannot fail with this product. Easy to install and works well just as described. The good thing about this bridge, as opposed to extending your network with another router is that it connects / maintains the same DNS. Most of my comuters are on the primary DNS and I was frustrated when I had to use a second router, not letting me share files between them. This solved my share problems and has encouraged me to start streaming my PC media into my living room.
