I am not in the habit of expressing my gratitude to companies that sell
the products that I buy. In this case I had to tell you something that
you already know--that the Patton 2158's work perfectly. Set-up was a
snap as all I had to do was plug in my Ethernet cables and power up the
2158's.
Something else I have to tell you is that we had 4 so called
"Internet/Network Experts" out to our house to hook up my office and
every one of them said the Ethernet couldn't go past 328 feet and any
further would be impossible. To be fair 2 of them said that they would
try and find something to extend our Ethernet however we never heard
from them again.
It took me about 30 seconds to locate your site with a search on Google
for "Ethernet extender." It took another 60 seconds of reading for me to
understand that your Patton 2158's were what I needed but another five
minutes of reading and rereading your site to make sure that I wasn't
missing something. You see it all seemed too simple to me.
I ordered your Patton 2158's and they arrived the next day by overnight
express. I immediately opened the packages and told my wife that I just
wanted to test them before we went out for dinner. Five minutes later I
had a perfect Ethernet connection to my office located about 500 feet
from our Router. The next day I hooked the system directly up to our
ISDN modem (I don't need to network my office computer with our home
computers) and enjoyed a perfect Ethernet connection to my office
located about 500 cable feet away!
I can't believe that the so-called "experts" couldn't work out how to
get past 328 feet with an Ethernet connection and I am so happy with
your 2158's that I am going to write letters to all the local computer
stores telling them about my excellent experience with your 2158's.
Thank you for selling such a good product that does what you say it will
do and that is so simple to set-up.
Sincerely,
Colin Tanner
