Great way to get fast internet to areas where you want hardwire type speeds or where WiFi signal is low in your home. I wasn’t expecting great performance but was surprised at how fast and reliable the internet connection has been through this product.

400 Mbs at the router, 110 Mbs at the end of the powerline. The good thing its a wired connection vs a wireless. Which means full duplex vs half duplex.
Set up was incredibly easy.

This device used the wiring in your house to give you full speed ahead. When wifi just wont do. Simple as plug into one electric socket near your modem and conect to your modem. Then plug into eletrical socket near gaming system or computer. Conect to device and away you go.

I bought this kit so I could connect the internet to my smart TV in the living room from the router located upstairs in our computer room. It works via plugging an internet connection into one of these devices which is then plugged into the wall. The other device is plugged into the wall in the living room behind the TV where a LAN cable is connected from it to the TV. The directions in the manual were simple to understand and use and I had the system up and running in just minutes. It works great! Also, with the extra outlet located on the front of each device that gives you back the outlets each device took in order to be plugged in. A great design!

I get wired speed using this product. I tried a few extenders, but they didn't do the job. This was extremely easy to use and had it set up and working within about 2 minutes. Highly recommend if you need wired speeds for gaming or streaming. No complaints at all.

I was trying to use a Wi-Fi extender out to a detached room but it just didn't work well. I used this in an outlet inside the house to an outlet outside, then ran a long cat 8 Ethernet out to the room. It's been flawless and keeps my Internet fast. I recommend for getting Internet to a place Wi-Fi just won't cut it.

These things work incredible for what they are. I'm kind of shocked they work at all.
Though problem is if anyone in the house uses anything with amperage like a Hair dryer, or Microwave.
You could potentially lose connection at that time. Take it with a grain of salt as that all depends on your power connections in your house or apartment.
I have limited control of my situation as i'm in a apartment and trying to get Ethernet from the front all the way to the back is hard and has a wireless dead zone.
These will fight you to set up. But will work.
Buy the protection plan just incase as well.

Was looking for a way to activate my wall ethernet ports in apartment. At&t wanted to charge me $149 just to come out plus equipment. I found this and was able to connect one end to my router and the other to established cables in maintenance room. Now both ports in my office work! My only gripe is that it is so big it covers both ports. That is the reason for the port on its face. The room where my router is has the tv and many other things that need to be plugged into a surge protector. I had to jerry-rig something to get around plugging a surge protector into the device.

Live in NJ. House built in 1950s. These devices are EASY to use and provide 80Mbps in 3800 square foot house. Saved me so much time and money because I did not have to run network cable through the house. I have 4 of these in same house. We have Xfinity.

I have been surprised to how well this Ethernet powerline device has worked. It has worked great with no issues. It works great in any room of my house. I was concerned about signal loss due to my home size +3000 sqft but I have had no issues.

We came in looking for assistance in fixing our WiFi connection issues. Electronics rep suggested this and said it should work. We bought it and tried it out. Easy hook up and connected fairly quick. Haven't had any internet issues since.

I initially purchased this unit as it has the highest potential speeds for a powerline extender, knowing that real world speeds would be dependent on the wiring in my house. Setup was very easy, essentially plugging the units in at either end, and pushing the pairing buttons.
Unfortunately, the area that I was trying to cover was only getting 80 Mbps out of 300 Mbps I get at my main router. Given that I could get better speeds by replacing my router with a more powerful one, I ended up paying a little more for a new router ($20 more than this unit) and going that route.

If you want to extend your Wi-Fi reach throughout the house, this is easy to set up, simple to use and very reliable. However, remember these two rules: (1) Do not use a power strip between this unit and the outlet (fluctuating voltages are bad for the signal and I think you might even have to reset); (2) It requires connecting to the remote units via an ethernet cable, so buy a category 5 or better (cat 6 is probably fine) with decent "shielding" to ensure a strong connection.
This is a Wi-Fi extender, and you plug one unit into a wall outlet & connect to your router; the other unit you plug into a wall outlet and connect to your device via an ethernet cable. No broadcasting, all wires.

I had an old unit that was quite slow. When I installed this, my internet speed in that area increased dramatically. I'm able to do whatever I need--video, audio streaming, etc. Very happy with this purchase.
