    This allows anyone who uses the old "dongles" for internet a much better option. Plug in and go. Wireless internet connection is a breeze with this product.

    I need a wireless network extender for the back part of my house so I bought this one. Unfortunately I didn't realize it wasn't wifi enabled. While I have to return it for what will actually work for me I wish I could justify keeping it. It worked very well connected to my TV upstairs but I need it to connect to other devices via wifi.

    I have a few WiFi dead zones in our home, one of which is my bedroom. My office is above the bedroom where I have a network port connected to one of the two extenders. The other extender is now in my bedroom where it's no longer a dead zone. This really works!!

    Very happy this was recommended to get, way better than Wi-Fi and obviously much needed for my old computer (that doesn't have Wi-Fi capacity)

    I didn't believe this could work at first. I have yet to have an issue and I use it everyday for work. It avoided a $200 outlet installation in my office

    These bad boys are a great alternative to wifi. You will lose some speed but the solid connection is worth it.

    This powerline adapter works great for getting low latency ethernet to places without jacks. Although it is advertised as 1000 Mbps you won't get nearly that speed. I have mine in the room across from my router and get 50 Mbps on a good day.
