I've been using the 200 mbps version for years without major issues. I thought the 500 mbps would be a nice upgrade in speed and it does seem to be faster. I have some dead spots in the house that my wifi will not reach and these do a very good job even as far as two floors away. My router is on the second floor and we have a media player (stream movies from a NAS drive on the network) on the first and Xbox One and PS4 in the basement. The 200mbps version held a rock steady signal and I don't recall ever having drops or loss of connection. These 500 mbps seem to have issues and frequent drops. It's not just me I've seen reviews with others having the same issues. It is a good alternative to wifi though if you can't get it parts of the house. Nothing much to hooking them up other than plugging in the ethernet wires and the unit into the wall.

This product has doubled my connection speed for my ps3/4. Connection has been constant and stable (as stable as Comcast can be) since I've purchased this product about three months ago. I had to change where I initially had it plugged in because connection was coming up yellow. Found an outlet that lit green and its been constant 50mbps down/ 5mbps up

This is a great device to someone who has bad wifi signal away from the router. I would highly recommend this item to help combat the problems. If you're a die hard video gamer Id suggest picking one of these up. Set Up is very easy and fast. You wont be disappointed. It also stays true to your internet speeds.
