    I moved into a new house and my wireless router was not reaching the far side of the house. I asked an associate which one he would recommend and he immediately recommended this product. He advised me to put it in a place where I had strong signal (between the dead zone and the router) so that it would work in the portion of the house where the signal was weak. Sure enough i now have a signal throughout my entire house. Set up was easy and quick.

    Wired is Faster than WiFi

    WiFi may be convenient, but wired is faster. If your internet modem is not near your entertainment center use a powerline adapter instead of ugly cables. Furthermore, if you think that your wireless connection to NetFlix or Amazon Prime is a lot slower than the speed you are paying for, you are right. Providers like Comcast and CenturyLink throttle your WiFi bandwidth.

    It's been rock solid with my PlaySytation 4 and a breeze to set up. Much better than the T-Link one I used before.

    We bought a set NETGEAR Powerline 1200 adapters several weeks ago to solve a chronic wireless issue in the remotest part of our house. This second pair of Powerline adapters was bought a week later to maximize the Internet speed for my Graphic Artist son. His equipment, even though it is just a wall away from the Wireless Router could not get above 150mbps. With the Powerline adapter he now gets full Gigabit speed.

    When Wired's a Job and Wireless is Clogged

    While I doubt one gets the speeds as advertised, just as the wireless claims, just the maximum potential, Using this product has saved me a lot of wireless bandwidth or stringing wires around. I have six of them. Three are on TV's, One to the router/wireless and another AP plugged in on a different set of channels on the other side of the house. So far It's worked great. The only pain is when you add a new device, in order to encrypt your network, you have two minutes to run around hitting the sync button. It also sometimes happens after power outages, well it did once. Wireless is great in the country, but when you can see 40 SSID's on 2ghz and have devices that don't support 5ghz, high use times things start to crawl. Add a cordless 2ghz cordless to the mix, zigbee's and blue tooth and Dialup makes a good choice. In limiting the indoor wireless to as needed I get my full 200mbs dn 25up with no problem, except when it's teen night. Then I just move an AP upstairs, plug in my spare power line ethernet, turn the power down on the AP and they are good to go, stay in their room. I would hook up a few of my outdoor AP's and bridges but with xfinity, no need as I can get a signal just about anywhere in the county.

    After trying a few different WiFi extenders we finally gave this a go and I’m so glad we did! Instantly fixed our issue of having brick interior walls blocking WiFi signal to our smart TVs. Not to mention the super simple 10min setup process. Would definitely recommend this to anyone with WiFi range issues.

    This is the most amazing thing. Purchased because we bought a new smart TV and TV would lose connection while streaming. Modem is located at the front of the house and we were unable to move it. Also in a older house and the walls are thick. This product was recommended by the sales person and it has performed great. No more issues!!!

    Gets the job done but quality drops every so often .. great if you dont want to run long cables thru your house and you need a direct ethernet connection.. speed is much slower than if plugged directly to the modem but again gets the job done for my work vpn. Extremely easy set up

    I am using this for another WiFi router in my bedroom. I bought this house used so I was not able to have Cat5 ran through the house like my place in Illinios. Found that this product provided great transmission speed and have not had any issues with it. Very easy to setup.

    After spending $1,000 to get an "expert" to set up a network for my home - which NEVER worked properly - I decided there HAD to be a better way. So I went to Best Buy and got a great recommendation for this product, which took care of my problem in less than half an hour. Thank you!! I now have internet access throughout my house.

    I wish that my house would have come with built in Ethernet, it however did not. However I have a new house that has decent wiring and therefore yields fairly good speeds (House is 2750 SQFT). When connected directly to router the 500G NIC card yields 498 from Uverse gigapower. When connected from the furthest plug in my house it drops to about 325, with a Ping of 5. Which is much better than any WiFi usb adapter that I have ever used.

    With these adapters, you can bypass the headache (and insecurity) of WiFi connectivity to your router or cable modem, or between 2 computers. (I haven't any idea whether additional adapters of this kind all network together on the same common network or establish their own links.) I've had tremendous difficulty getting a decent strength WiFi signal from one end of the house to another. I've tried repeaters, fancier 2- and 4-antenna routers, higher speed and much higher priced solutions, none offered the stability I've had with this unit. It's not totally perfect - depending on your house wiring, it can fail to connect. And long distances for signals to travel can affect its bandwidth also. So, I recommend it for when WiFi is just too weak or frustrating or unreliable for your continued use. Your problems may be solved using this unit instead. You may put an Ethernet switch on the receiving end and wire cables to various devices, if that's a suitable solution for you. Or use an Ethernet to WiFi adapter in the room for when the wireless device in question also lives in that same room.
