Thanks go out to the field trial test group .. I've used one of these myself for several weeks now and I have to admit it's works pretty much the same way as the regular broadband adapter just without the wires connected to the router.

My entire DECA cloud lives a wireless hop from my home network and everything is humming right along.

Interesting dual purpose device. In a Whole Home DVR setup, with Broadband DECA installed and white DECA attached to non Hx24 box, can the WCCK take the place of both the Broadband DECA and a white DECA by connecting the WCCK via coax to the SWiM and via ethernet to the non Hx24 box?

Absolutely.

I have had mine connected to a HR21-700 to act as its deca and it is also a wireless bridge to my internet connection.

This device looks like a winner from a technical standpoint! However I suspect it may be a bit pricey (>$100+), which could limit its attractiveness. If I already didn't have the same functionality I would probably get one (or more). As usual, a great first look.

Thanks for the first look. Looks like a winner but I agree with bobnielsen about the price.
I don't know what the price will be but $100+ sounds kinda high to me...I've been wrong before. :grin:

This nice as long as it is stable...
So far the reported experiences are it's rock solid.

Several have said something similar to Carl6's quote at the end of the First Look...once it's installed it's completely transparent. You won't be able to tell the difference.

Ditto that, connect it, hit the WPS button on it and tell the router to look for it and youre up and running.

The WPS button was nearly effortless (Wireless Protected Setup).

Very, Very Slick. :)
