Very good

7.1

out of 10

CNET Editor's rating: 7.1 out of 10
Reviewed by Matt Lake
Review date: 6/3/03
Release date: 4/1/03

The good: Driverless installation; elegant configuration utility; trim design.

The bad: Comparatively slow data-transfer rates.

The bottom line: The Netgear XE102 is one of the most compact power-line Ethernet bridges on the market, making it ideal for outlets in cramped corners or along baseboards.
