Quick & Easy Solution November 15, 2009
Robert Ogg (Florida USA)
With our Dish TV receiver we had to connect it to a telephone line to save $5 per month. This solution was easier and cheaper than pulling a new phone line into the room. There was a lot of static noise on the line from this unit and it could not be hooked up on the same phone line as our wireless router. Sprint provided a noise suppressor so that helped significantly.
 GOOD FOR DISH - BAD FOR PHONE USE November 15, 2009
T. Gill
The concept of using house wiring for a phone extension is intriguing, but as I have found out, not very practical. No matter where I put the unit, the static is intolerable. However, I did not buy this little gadget for actual phone use, but rather to satisfy the Dish Network requirement to have a connection for data. It does seem to work well for that, so I am able to save the $5 per month charge imposed when you do not have that connection.
 Works great out of the gate November 10, 2009

Needed a phone jack in a difficult wall space...to hook up to my DVR satellite reciever (to avoid the $5 / mo. programming fee. This worked like a champ right out of the box. Great item. Steve C., Merritt Island, FL
 PX-211 does not exist, it's either PX-211D or PX-211V, They sent PX-211D which is WRONG October 30, 2009

The unit was described as the PX-211. I should have known there would be issues by the fact that the title of this product has a typo (Wirless instead of Wireless).
When it arrived, there was no indication on the box of what was inside. I found that the base and extension both said "DATA ONLY" even though the manual mentioned that there is a "VOICE/DATA" version. Nowhere in the description of this product did it tell you to be sure to order the proper version - that's probably because I bet Amazon doesn't sell the VOICE/DATA version, no wonder it's so cheap. The version they sent was the PX-211D and in fact there is no such thing as the PX-211 - it's either PX-211D or what I wanted, and expected, PX-211V.
I thought I'd give it a try anyway, and sure enough, the voice quality was too low to use.
Now I see from other reviews that others have had the same issue. You would think that after lots of returns and complaints, Amazon would update the description to stop others from making the same mistake. I have requested a replacement item, telling them the issue. If they send another PX-211D I am going to ask for a refund and I'll wire it myself using good old fashioned, reliable cable, since the time wasted in trying this out and returning it twice will be almost as long as it would have taken to to the cabling required in my home.
Works best October 23, 2009

I bought this product to connect to my Disk network DVR, it works perfect for the purpose.
