This makes the most stable type of relay signal for WIFI. It makes it so I can hardwire a device in a room with weak WiFi. I use this device to create a separate network. Great solution, higher speeds than WiFi.

I needed to connect my non wifi tv to the internet. Its an older model. Used the power line to produce the ethernet cabling. Works as advertised. Now my smart TV can provide all the functions I need ed it to.

Device is not hard to install and once it is plugged in to both the router and my computer it started working well after I followed the simple instructions it came with. No problems so far.

These are fairly decent, but I did end up returning them and getting dual ethernet port ones with an outlet. You might not think you need the extra ethernet port of the power outlet, but do it, it's worth it. Also, these don't work the best over the central breaker board despite what folks might say. Despite getting 1Gb to the house, and plugging one directly into the router, I would only get a few Mbps in the basement. At least the bandwidth was consistent though.

Does what it needs to. Not sure if it's my Spectrum internet but I'm getting about 200 mbps on my laptop and about 50-60 mbps on my PS4.

Was looking for a new way to hook my Switch dock up to Internet as my wireless signal kept dropping during online play and my router is on another floor. This fixed the problem just in time for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Plugged it in and I had a secure connection.

I needed to have an Ethernet connection close to a window for my VOIP box from AT&T (MicroCell). This Ethernet adapter has worked perfectly for my intended use. Easy to setup, and the signal indicator was useful so I could tell that I had the best connection to my router.

I have an old house with plaster walls. Between the location of my router and the walls, I would get a week signal where I would use my Xbox One. This powerline adapter solved this problem. I have faster download speeds for streaming hd video and gaming online.

The product took no time to setup and the only downside for me is with the wiring I have in my house and the room I needed it to plug into only puts out 40mb/s

The Best Buy consultant recommended this gizmo as a means of assuring uninterrupted streaming of television content from the router located in another room. It did the trick at a modest price.

I paid to increase my internet speed from 15 Mbps to 45 Mbps but my WiFi router could not reach my son's room in the basement where he likes to game on his laptop. We bought this product and he now gets full speed in his room. We were very happy with the results.

I like to have certain things on a wired connection and this allows me to do that without running extra long Ethernet cables around the house. It's just like using a direct port on the modem. I've noticed to lag like a WiFi repeater.

Just make sure the adapters are on the same circuit. If they aren't, there will be a lag spike every 2-5 minuets. Other than it, it's great
