I purchased this product as I was having issues getting good WIFI using my Netgear 630e Access Points. Coverage is great right up until that room, and then it drops to zero. I hooked up the source device to a 2.5 Ghz Moca adapter two rooms away and the target Surfboard in the other room, and I get 1.5 Gb/sec from the LAN connection. Ping is consistent as well which is great. What is interesting is every Moca based device averages a ping of about 3 to 5 ms. from my hardwired 2.5Gb/sec LAN, but the Surfboard master unit is able to respond with a latency at less than half that. So I don't know if there is network optimization happening with the Surfboard, but again, it's pretty impressive what you get. The latency will still not be what you get from a good hard wired connection, but if you are suffering connecting legacy WIFI devices with good performance, give this solution a try.
I would recommend this to a friend!
