We had to look at the specification of this device twice to make sure we weren't dreaming. Yes, Netgear really did send us a 14Mbit/sec network adapter. It was a bit of a Marty McFly moment: we haven't seen anything rated that slow for years. But transfer speeds weren't as awful as we expected, and it actually beat some of the 85Mbit/sec products. Setup was easy: we plugged one adapter into our router, and as soon as we plugged the second into our PC, the network was up and running. (The wacky name just describes what any power plug device does, by the way.) Using the configuration software allowed us to set security passwords. In general, this is a far better product than we expected it to be - but then, our expectations weren't at all high. And the price, which initially looks good, gets you just a single adapter, which isn't good value for money at all.
