Amazon.com Product Description
The RCA Wireless Modem Jack RC930 uses household electrical wiring to provide a simple solution for consumers who want to add a telephone jack to any room in the home or office. It can accommodate modem speeds up to 56K and is compatible with personal and laptop computers, caller ID units, and Internet access devices, in addition to corded and cordless phones, answering machines, fax machines, and digital satellite system receivers.

The system consists of two units: a base and an extension. The base unit transmits the telephone signal on the electrical wiring using the FM band. It plugs into an electrical outlet near an existing telephone jack and connects to an existing telephone jack with a modular phone cord. The extension unit plugs into any electrical outlet and operates as a telephone jack. Once the base unit is plugged in, an unlimited number of extension units may be operated from the original base unit.

Customer Reviews

A must for TiVo, Directv
I needed a quick solution for my TiVo and Directv video setup. Both require a phone jack for downloading program data. This was the solution I was looking for. It worked right out of the box with about 5 minutes setup time to find the best connection. There is even some thinking on a major TiVo forum that this product will protect your modem from surges.

Does not connect at 56K, only works up to 33.6K
This is a good product, if you have a modem that's 33.6K and below! The product description is inaccurate. When I received the product, the package says, "Works up to 33.6K." It is Caller ID compatible and you can send and receive data and faxes, but only up to 33.6K. Well, I was going to return it, but I could use it for my phone.

Works great for Tivo/ReplayTV
If you don't want to run a new phone jack to accomodate a PTV recorder such as Tivo or ReplayTV, this jack works just fine. While it may only be connecting at 33.6 or so, it has been rock solid reliable since I've gotten it, and saved the expense of installing a new jack. I wouldn't use this instead of a real jack for a 56K modem, but for applications where speed isn't critical (like Tivo), this works great.
