Worked great at my house. Modem on first floor and second part is on second floor opposite of house. Keep in mind quality of speed will vary upon quality of electrical lines in your home.

My Smart TV at the far end of the house had sporadic connection to the internet. Not any more. This Ethernet adapter solved the problem. The TV connects via Ethernet cable now instead of wireless. The TV connection is reliable and the picture is noticeably clearer now. Setup was super easy, plugged everything in and it just worked. Did not even need to read the setup guide.

This adapter seems to work better than a USB FOB. Connection seems more consistent, not perfect (but could be our provider. All in all pleased with the operation and connectivity it provides.

Bought this to hook up an old router to extend wifi range in my house; due to having Verizon FiOS router, the wifi range extenders don't work. Used this to hard-wire my old FiOS router in another part of the house and it works great.

Just plug it in and sync it to your WiFi. Your power outlet acts as a wired cable. There is some reduction in mbps as you are splitting the signal but you can plug a cat5 cable in and then to your device and it works great.

I purchased this to install in a bedroom that I couldn't run a direct connection to. So far I haven't had any issues with it. It works fine for me for streaming HD content to my device.

While not perfect it went a long way toward solving the buffering issues we were having with streaming video making watching movies and downloaded TV shows much more enjoyable.

Fantastic option when wireless service isn't possible. No need for long network cables, just plug into an elevtric outlet and you have a new network connection.

This works great for people in big houses or crowded apartments where WIFI has too much interference or distance to deal with. Perfect for getting connectivity to your Netflix enabled TV from the computer room.

They work for my needs to connect my entertainment system to the my router and I don't seem to be experiencing any lag, but I haven't tested the actual throughput.

Had to move router from one end of the house to the other, and our desk top computer was not able to connect to wi fi. So, we bought this, made the connections and the internet is back at our desk top.

Had my PSTV connecting via Wifi and would get inconsistent connection when doing remote play. Wifi would affect the game. This sucker gives me a consistent connection with no drops or signal drops.

Even though the packaging and web site say "up to 500 mbps!", realistically it is closer to 50. Works as advertised, just not as fast as I would have liked

Somewhat frequent disconnects. Interference might be due to other electronics or the adapter is plugged into an outlet that are on different circuit breakers.

I use this to send my intertent access to a room at the other end of the house. It took minutes to set up and there has been no loss of connection at all (as happens with wireless) and no loss of speed compared to direct computer to modem connection. If you need to put your computer far from your cable/modem internet access, and don't want to use wireless, this works beautifully.
