Powerline adapters must connect to same circuit
I purchased the TP-LINK TL-PA8030P KIT. The only reason I gave this product 1 star is because the product page missed a significant requirement and none of the reviews I read noted it. I expect it works brilliantly in the correct environment. No where on the Best Buy web page/specs nor in the reviews I read indicated both adapters must be connected to the same electrical circuit. It very clearly states that on the box "Note: The Powerline Adapters need to be connected to the same electrical circuit." The instructions note the same. I have a data networking background, so this seems logical, but that very important requirement is not listed on the product page or I could not find it. Most of the reviews talk about installing one adapter in a basement and the other on the second floor. I wonder if these reviews are actually for this product. It seems I will need a combo WiFi extender and powerline adapter kit.

much improved over the early powerline products
It's been awhile since I've used power line. Depending on your building wiring (phases) these can work or not. In my situation with split electrical panels and the extensive wiring they did not work for our particular situation, however we did test in other parts of the building with good results. When it works (again depends on how your electrical wiring is) it did provide a gigabit connection. The multiple ports (switch) is also nice so you don't have to put a separate switch when you only have a few devices needing a hardwire connection. Overall a good product and improvement in the power line ecosystem providing gigabit speeds now.

Easy Set-up
I bought this power line kit for my Smart TV which has wireless internet connection, but it wasn't always dependable.This kit solved the problem with no more than a few minutes of installation. Takes up very little room which is a plus. Now I have high speed connection on demand. Problem solved.
