    By plugging my work phone into this, I’m able to work from anywhere in the building. All I need is an electrical outlet to plug it into. It’s not the most modern looking but nobody cares. It goes in an outlet. Definitely makes my life easier!!!

    I have my router in another room and I recently started working from home. I wanted to have a wired connection for my work PC. The Best Buy associate showed me this product, which I didn't know existed. It works well and there is no speed drop that I have seen with speed tests. Very happy with this purchase.

    Concrete houses do not make it easy to have wifi everywhere it's needed. Though our wifi is very fast, the router is on the ground floor and the computers are on the second floor. The result was that my son's computer and phone were lagging terribly. This product solved that problem.

    We needed to set up a cell phone Microcell tower near an exterior window with Internet access. We were unable to move our modem due to a security system setup so when the Best Buy associate suggested it-problem solved. Works great and was so easy to set up.

    New cable modem installed on the opposite side of the house. Salesman recommended to buy this device that allows my electric lines to act as a direct connect to my desktop at the opposite side of the house. Works as he said it would. Just as fast as it was before. Very satisfied.

    IDK the science behind how this hardline works but it seems to work so well that all the other devices that try to use the wifi are often kicked off or unable to load anything. I love it though, I play games and there hasn't been a connection-related lag since I bought it 2 months ago

    This product came in handy while my house's Ethernet network was being overhauled. Works best in rooms that don't have a strong WiFi signal.

    I got this so I could add another router in another part of the house. For the most part it runs fine. Occasionally, it loses signal temporarily. I have not been able to figure out why, but it re-establishes in a few minutes.

    Needed to connect an item upstairs in our home to our network via a hardline. Our house is not wired for it. This worked as a work around. It is pretty much just plug and play. I specifically used it to connect a camera system to our network so that we could see cameras on our phones.

    Works Great when your wireless just don't cut it. These things handle my internet speed with ease and its faster than my wireless network. I've had over a year and they still work great.

    This power line adapter works across multiple circuits in your home unlike some other power line adapters that only work on one circuit (only outlets on same circuit beaker). This adapter also indicates what network speed range it is able to transmit data.

    When it works it really works It really depends on your house electric setup, if the router outlet is very far away from the endpoint it will not be that fast so it will depend how the electric wiring is in your house

    I was skeptical that this would work at all, but I was wrong it more than doubled my MBPS that is was pulling in other rooms. Before the install MBPS were pulling 40 within minutes of setup same room same spot pulling 110.

    You can easily extend your network anywhere in the house using these powerline adapters. They have also come a long way with regard to the speed of these, they are very fast. I would definitely recommend these to anybody that needs a network jack where there isn't one.

    I so did not want to have to run a ethernet to my upstairs since my modem is downstairs in the closet. This allowed me to get wired connection to my bedroom without have to do that works great and is idiot proof.

    This item was recommended by the Geek Squad to meet my needs and extend my Wi-Fi capabilities to another room. I have numerous walls that impede the routers signal to my other AV equipment. This device uses the wiring directly through the house to extend the signal

    I had a little over a year ago purchased a Samsung TV with all the latest specs. Unfortunately, the witeless stopped working and had to find an alternative solution. This Netwrok Extender did exactly what I needed using minimum space. The speed is perfect for streaming as well
