From what I have read yes it does work over different circuits it just slows it down significantly.

There is a method to change to network ID so other neighbours don't join your powerline network. More important for people in units as I'd imagine the signal would drop to nothing by the time the cable got to your neighbours.

I have got two of these things so far (have a few more on order) so far everthing seems good, havent been able to test the xob360/mce connectivity but using their utility and also doing some throughput testing (very simple testing) over a few different rooms over our two story house I have some some good news.

Firstly its defintaley faster than wireless and more reliable. I seem to be getting around 50Mbps, not 200 as advertised but hey who really expected that anyway.

The best performance I got was well over 120Mbps but that was sort of cheating as the 2 outlets were in the same room, hardly a very good test as you'd just run cat5 if it was in the same room.

The rest of the outlets I tested were quite a distance away and all upstairs, I also didn't notice a speed drop using either an extension cord or a powerboard despite the Netgear doco stating that this is not a recommended configuration.

So not as fast as 100Mb ethernet cable but faster and more reliable than my 802.11g wireless.

I'll let you know how the xbox360/mce works out.

With my wireless setup the Microsoft Network performance tester says my wireless network was not even able to sustain SD between the xbox360 and the MCE but it did work although ver sluggishly.

I'll confirm all the results once I get another 2 of these adapters.
