    PWL works fine, but wifi is an extender, thought it can be a wifi ap BY itself

    A simple plug-and-play way to extend your Wi-Fi. The cloning function doesn't seem to work so I used a separate SSID and password on the Powerline. Would definitely buy it again and recommend it to others

    works great for Ethernet direct plug in. The wifi extended isn't that great but a lot of wifi extenders are not.

    We bought the Powerline AC 1000 access point because we couldn't pick up wifi everywhere in our house. Now we can go anywhere and the reception is fantastic..definitely worth it!

    Great way to extend WIFI without losing strength

    Because the signal runs directly from your router to the location of the powerline extender through the electrical wiring in the house you do not lose the signal strength of normal extenders

    This product has been working great for us, in the last month since I have purchased. We had issues with "dead" spots in our house and this seems to have solved the problem with extending our WiFi.

    This product worked but it was not very fast. I connected it to my router at 1000mb and it slowed down my network to about 350mb. even by hard wiring directly to my router, it slowed down the entire network.

    We bought this to use for our home spa with wi-fi connection. Due to the distance from our main router we needed a little boost - this does the trick!

    Not Good for Older Houses

    This power adapter might work in a newer home with newer wiring but I imagine anything older than 1990 is going to struggle to send a signal any significant distance. I should have done more research having gone from 1000mbps to <100mbps. Two stars as it isn't technically the product's fault for the dropped signal.

    Every now and again signal will weaken but I think that may be my provider more that this extender.

    I guess I got lucky cause these work well. No extra network cables in the rental. They have gone down maybe twice, unplug it and plug it back in
