Seriously, I took a look at it after it broke and am astonished that they bothered to PATENT this thing. It worked initially. Never buying any of their JUNK again. This is the second LINKSYS product that has failed on me due to bad engineering. But I made the mistake of reorganizing my cables and the little door-spring IDIOT engineering device broke. I probably breathed on it by accident.
It is loose though. I have dropped it a couple times and nothing has happened.Would I buy it again, no. Yes, what others say is true. As for holding the cable securly, I have never had the problem of it comeing loose, when the door was completely intact.So the bottom line is: the product works well, but it is not something you will have for "many years to come." It does travel well, though. There are other prodcuts available that I believe will work just as good and last longer. The door will break, eventually. I have had mine for 3 years and the door has just came off, but I was able to snap it back in place.
AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE. The slightest touch and it breaks off, at which point the entire adaptor is rendered useless. This thing is just one of the worst pieces of product design ever. The Ethernet connector connects to, essentially a tiny little flap door that was engineered by a crazy person.
Otherwise, I would stay away. If you plan on placing this connector in a totally stable environment, it might work. This product would be great, if it could hold the RJ45 connector in place. Unfortunately, it relies on gravity to keep the connector in-- if you even touch the wire, the connector falls out.
other than that, it works great. it's very flimsy. i got this to use on my tivo, in order to get on the network. it does the job well, the only issue is the connector.
