I am pleased with the product . Fast delivery.

Reliable, cheap and good brand with a good quality

This device performs exactly as it says. I was looking for the easiest way to bypass the piece of junk that is the Bell Home Hub 3000. Bell says that the Advanced DMZ will allow you to effectively put any device of your choosing into a virtual bridge mode. What a finicky piece of software implementation that is. It rarely worked, and when it did, it would randomly just stop working. The HH3000 had to go so I began searching for a way to bypass it. Well, it turns out that the TP-Link MC220L media converter has a bit of a cult following by Bell Canada Fibe customers, and that's for good reason. It allows you to easily bypass the HH3000 by removing the SFP module and installing it in this media converter. From there, you just have to have a router that allows you to specify the VLAN that the Internet is supplied on, (VLAN 35 in Ontario), and you're up and running. If you want to get a little more complicated, you can use a device that allows you to pull VLAN 36 off and that's what your Fibe TV is running on. If you don't have Fibe TV service, you don't even need to worry about this part though. Speeds are no different from when the HH3000 was being used. (It's one area the HH3000 didn't have an issue with, at least for wired connections.) I was routinely getting download speeds in the 100 - 110MB/s range before and that's still the case with the MC220L. Upload speeds are as consistent too. Ping times are the same - still 8ms to Google's DNS servers which is blisteringly fast. One note: When you first power on the MC220L after installing the SFP module and connecting the fibre line, you won't get a fibre sync light. Don't panic. It'll take a little bit - maybe 10 - 15 seconds. There's no flashing like on a DSL modem while it's negotiating. Just give it a moment... it'll sync up. Enjoy your new HH3000-less experience.

Ciao a tutti, come nuovo acquirente di prodotti in fibra ottica, non saprei come fare una valutazione tecnica in questo momento, comunque! potrei dire soltanto che lo o usato per collegare diversi computer in una rete privata e o notato una alta prestazione e velocita nel trasferimento dei dati con questo prodotto.
