    This was by the far the easiest piece of hardware I set up. I literally just plugged it into the router and access point by the computer and it worked instantly. It worked exactly as shown. Impressive!

    The setup for this product was indeed a snap at least once you get past the part that says that you can’t plug these into power strips or extension cords. That was a bit tricky for me where I had the main unit and it did matter. When plugged into either, the connection between units was not good. However, plugged in directly to an outlet and the two units connected pretty quickly. If you’re into advanced setups you can change the SSID and password, but unless you know how to navigate your main router’s web admin interface and another similar one for this, I would probably just use whatever the default one is. Anyway, the two units paired quickly, all lights were solid, and connecting to the access point was easy enough. Ta-da. WiFi extended. However, the performance wasn’t great. Speed tests when connected to the access point were about 1/3 what they were when connected to my main WiFi router. I also experienced dropped internet connections pretty consistently. As in Netflix would just stop altogether. So I would say this works in a pinch and if you’re just checking email or browsing the web, it’s fine. Otherwise I would probably look into some kind of mesh WiFi setup, which is what I went with after I returned this.

    This unit works great. I now have WiFi in my woodworking shop that stands about 50 feet from the house. I did not have to dig a trench for a cable, which is tough at 70. Set up was pretty easy.

    Easy to setup and now have whole house wifi coverage. Even with mesh systems we were having trouble keeping devices connected so we decided to have a few stand alone access points feed back to one router and its working great.

    great item to extend your wireless signal in the home. I have it the router above in the room over the garage and the other unit pretty far away under the tv in the living room. I use the TV for internet and music. Great performance

    I used this PowerLine Wi-Fi in my garage to power my tv and gaming console. It works great, I now get full bars/signal in the garage, so more buffering. Since I couldn't run an ethernet cable all the to my device the wi-fi is a nice option.

    Works great in my apartment

    I had been struggling with achieving reliable wireless internet connection throughout my apartment, due to excessive interference, for a while so decided to give this a try. I have been very happy with it so far (have been using it for a bit over a month). It works well even though I have it on a different electrical circuit than the modem/router. The only time I have an issue with connection is when my girlfriend is running her old singer sewing machine with her power hogging halogen light on. Other than that I have had no problem streaming video or even online gaming since I started using this powerline adapter. I would recommend giving it a try if you have wifi interference issues and do not have a good way to setup range extenders, or do not want to use range extenders.

    Needed to upgrade to a newer product; works well with my Netgear router and provides a wired ethernet connection to my AppleTV unit in the bedroom. Like that it also extends wi-fi coverage.

    Best way to extend wifi. Only setup is plug in both devices and wait 10 minutes and everything ready to go. Access point has network and password printed on it so you can't lose it.

    I bought this for my son who recently moved into a roommate situation and had really bad WiFi reception in his area of the condo. This plug and play extender solved his problem and took no technological acumen at all.

    This was easy to setup, and the led lights are useful to determine the quality of signal over the power lines. My first desired location was on the opposite side of the Main power switch in the house breaker box, and the quality light was red. I moved it to another location in the house, and the quality light went green. I checked back in the house breaker box, and the new location was on the same side of the main. So this is the only caveat I have. If the two units are plugged into the same side of the breaker box, i.e. two rooms powered on the same side, it will work great. We're getting 75mbs in the front room now, with our wireless devices. Previous to this we were only getting 40 mbs from the main router 60 feet away. So it did what I expected.
