I replaced a previous powerline adapter with this one and even though it is huge when plugged into the wall, the passthru power adapter was very helpful. It has a 3 prong plug so it wouldn't plug in upside down like my old one and my surge protectors can only only plug in the bottom socket without blocking the other outlet. With this one, I still have a little access to the top wall socket to plug in another device if needed.

Installations for simple equipment goes much faster and more efficient. You may run into problems in buildings where the electrical is very old/problematic...

I would recommend this product for any gamer who can't reach an ethernet cable to their router. It's much better than the wi-fi connection I was using. 0% packet loss!

I needed this to extend my Apple AirPort Extreme base station using an Airport express. This did the trick -- works great. If you're doing the same look for a how-to online.

Allows me to use a hard-line connection and not have to be next to the router. Wifi speeds (renting so I can't upgrade the router) are awful and there is only 1 LAN wall outlet. Using this removes the need of running a long LAN cable across the floor so I can use my computer in my room.

Awesome Alternative to Cable Routing

I needed a way to obtain a better connection for gaming. Unfortunately my main router is upstairs and my rig is downstairs. A long Ethernet cable was out of the question.
After experimenting with various WiFi connections, I realized my connection would be unstable no matter what I would do.
Enter the powerline, a godsend from above. Easy setup; fast and stable connection.
From my understanding though, YMMV depending on your current home's electrical wiring integrity. While I was able to achieve a stable connection, my speeds aren't as fast as connecting directly to the router.

I can not stress enough how easy this product is to use. I needed a wired connection to my stereo receiver to take advantage of the online features. Plug and play at its finest!

This gadget saved me at least a thousand dollars. Running an Ethernet cable without attic or crawl space would have been difficult and expensive. This was easy to set up too.

I had no prior experience with this type of network device. I am a computer professional so I was not concerned with trying this product. You do not need to know anything about networks to use this and have it work except knowing where the modem / router is located and having a power plug nearby. Simple. I used a short grounded extension power cord so I could see the reset button, and connect buttons. Works like a charm. Networked upstairs to main level in a town home.

Was not getting good WiFi in our game room on the other side of the house. Hooked my Xbox up to it via Ethernet cable and works flawlessly!
