From what I understand, you connect one of the plugs to your router/modem using an Ethernet cable. And the other plug you can plug in near your XBOX, PS3, TV, etc. It's just to boost your existing wired/wireless Internet connection - so you obviously already need your own modem and ISP. If any of that is wrong, please correct me.

So does anyone already use this? Would you recommend it?
