Summary: Works great for Tivo/ReplayTV
Review: If you don't want to run a new phone jack to accomodate a PTV recorder such as Tivo or ReplayTV, this jack works just fine. While it may only be connecting at 33.6 or so, it has been rock solid reliable since I've gotten it, and saved the expense of installing a new jack. I wouldn't use this instead of a real jack for a 56K modem, but for applications where speed isn't critical (like Tivo), this works great.

Summary: Not useful at all
Review: It did connect but only once through my modem. Its a revolutionary product but I would prefer to wait for a better product in the market.

Summary: Don't waste your money.
Review: Take my advice, bite the bullet and pay for a second phone line. This sytem is a piece of junk. I tried to install the system a dozen times with no success. And yes, I closely followed every step in the directions. I called RCA for help and learned that "environmental factors" may be causing the system to not function properly. These environmental factors could be flourescent or halogen lighting and surge protectors. Well, I have a big flourescent light in my kitchen and live in a new house where all my outlets are "protected". They should put this info on the outside of the box. UGH...what a waste of time and money.

Summary: Bad idea if you want to use it for the phone extension
Review: The static noise level generated from the jack is so high that it is practically not useful for a phone jack extension.

Summary: Too Noisy
Review: There was too much line noise, even in short distances. I ended up just adding a new jack to the room that didn't have one (rather than using this device).

Summary: Does not connect at 56K, only works up to 33.6K
Review: This is a good product, if you have a modem that's 33.6K and below! The product description is inaccurate. When I received the product, the package says, "Works up to 33.6K." It is Caller ID compatible and you can send and receive data and faxes, but only up to 33.6K. Well, I was going to return it, but I could use it for my phone.

Summary: This product can be a useful compromise
Review: This product will reduce the connection/sound quality in any and all circumstances, but may also be a useful compromise. If you have decided not to add a new telephone jack, even though you could probably use one; you may want to get this. The "wireless modem jacks" are superior to the less expensive "wireless phone jacks," they provide better sound quality and faster data rates. I know this from experience(the modulation of the telephone signal into a radio signal is the source of the quality loss). I have also read that nearby ham radios may experience some interference. All in all, I'm glad that I have one but the outrageous prices that are charged for this very simple device prevent me from giving it more than two stars...This price is bad enough.

Summary: Very satisfied with product.
Review: This product works great, at least for me. I connect with my modem at speeds between 35 to 40k. Two points however: I had to conduct the security programming before I could get a dialtone, and I have a relatively newer home, with newer wiring. I don't know if that's a factor or not, but I thought I'd throw it in because the instruction manual does refer to the quality of your lines as possibly having an effect.
