Disadvantages: none

The package consists of a quick start installation guide, extensive documentation in several languages on the accompanying CD, and the hardware itself: two plug-in units and an Ethernet cable (this is only about 1 metre long, which is a bit on the short side). The quick installation manual describes the steps you need to take with the minimum of fuss, using simple instructions and clear diagrams to explain the points. Assuming that you already have a functioning wireless set-up, all you need to do is plug the primary unit, the Ethernet Bridge, directly into a wall socket (using power strips or splitters is not recommended of course) and connect this unit to your router with an Ethernet cable.
