Hardware - it's a world of mystery to me. In my case there was a refrigerator and a microwave between the router and my wife's computer. So the signal was always a bit sketchy. Even a booster relay thingy halfway in between didn't help. The Netgear box worked perfectly for me. I wonder if old wiring would make a difference. Or maybe the technology has improved - how long ago was it that you tried the Gigafast. The other thing I like about the wall plug is that the connection is real fast - it's like hard wired.

I tried it with Homeplug from Gigafast and never was able to make any successful connections. That was one of the first efforts at the technology and my house is 40+ years old with equivalent wiring. Maybe the devices are more advanced now and the chances of success are increased. When I switched to regular wireless it installed with no problems.

Replaced it with these: http://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-XE102-Wall-Plugged-Ethernet-Bridge/dp/B000 2IHP 58 Foolproof. Just plug and play. No software. No configuring. Perfect - like a hardwired connection.
