I had a Netgear Universal Adapter that I had problems with the entire time I had it. It would never hold the connection to my smart tv. Bought this at the suggestion of the BB salesperson..and it works like magic. NO problems with connection now! Thanks !!!

It is extremely esy to set up and start using. You can connect a PC that does not have WiFi capability or a smart TV that needs internet connection. Provides great flexibility throughout the house.

I got this to hook up a second computer in our home. We thought we were going to have to run an ethernet cable from the modem upstairs to the 2nd computer which is downstairs. We got this instead and it works great!! Easy to set up and no cords everywhere.

I was trying to wire my house, but found out it was more work than I thought. My IT friend suggested I try something like this and works pretty good. I would recommend this product.

I plugged this in the farthest room from the router, and my PS4 feels smooth online. No lag, fast download speed, fast ping, etc. If you’re having problems with your connection, this may be your solution.

I had heard about these and was very skeptical when a colleague of mine had mentioned them, but after using it I have noticed a significant difference in improved performance. I am very happy with this unit and will definitely mention them to my friends as well.

It has confusing documentation about connection quality. For me it was always red until I connected it to PC/hub then network quality light became green. Still I couldn't get more then 50Mbit from it but connection (ping/jitter) is better then wifi. I probably could've get just 600Mbits adapter and would do as good. I don't know why they put these crazy numbers like 1Gig if it is not achievable even their manual is saying you can get 50-80 best case. So if you have issues with wifi you can try this one.

This is exactly what I needed, my router is upstairs and sometimes the connection is poor working downstairs. The wifi entender feels like I’m plugged directly into the router.

Purchased this for my son who plays xbox live. Prior to this he kept getting knocked off his gaming while playing with other people. Has worked like a charm! Easy to set up..just plug in and done. Very well priced for what it does.

Very little confusion in the beginning but easy to install. The only issue I had was the clearance at the base of the unit. I had to move some things around to get everything in place.

This piece of witchcraft doesn't make sense. While there is no science to explain this piece of Black Magic, I accept my fate playing with things I can't explain because this thing is awesome. Just watch out for gypsys trying to shrink your head!

Works perfectly. I was having big trouble accessing Netflix on my wireless Comcast router service.
Connected and plugged the Powerline 1000 in at the TV site and at my router site and I get fast and reliable connections.

A must get if you need to run anything directly to your internet in another part of the house with the power of an ethernet cord. Much stronger than wifi.

We love this product! Previously, relying on wifi in the home to connect my work computer, the internet speeds received were dreadful. With this product, my internet speeds are much improved. I highly recommend this product! Works flawlessly!

I love this thing! I use it to hook up computers that I am working on / experimenting with (particularly, those that only accept an ethernet connection), and I don't have to end up stretching a long ethernet cable across my house.
I figure that this isn't the way the manufacturer envisioned this product being used, but it works great for my use case.

Seems to do what it says but really I can't find out a way to see if it actually does work as intended. lt appears that 99% of time the issue I had is solved Would buy again
