Customers frequently mention the ease of use and strong performance of the 2-Port Gigabit Powerline Starter Kit, with many praising its simple setup and reliable wired connection for online gaming and streaming. However, some users noted that signal strength can degrade over distance and that the adapters are large, potentially blocking other outlets. The product's effectiveness appears to vary, with some experiencing long-term reliability issues.

Plugged them in, connected the lines from my Router and to my new HD TV and the system works like a charm. Full throughput almost as fast as my computer gets right out of the router. Full Blu-Ray on line movies with no distortion or breaks in the action. This is a great real piece of hardware.

Tried this device as an alternative to wireless booster w/network port. Seems to occasionally drop and do not plug into a surge strip/battery backup as it will not work. Overall it's doing what it needs to do.

Had to wire my PS4 up to get an optimal gaming experience, as well as get my Apple TV hooked up for 4K video without all the buffering or hitching. This fixed that right away. Highly recommend!

I could not get this to work . I tried using for these for a PS5 and smart TV and they wouldn’t detect it. It has an an outlet on it to plug stuff in it, but takes up 2 spaces on your wall outlet, and the one on the adapter was not powerful enough to power certain things.

Brand response from TPLinkSupport

Hi,
Thank you for your review. Please bear in mind that Powerline connectivity and data transfer rates will vary due to network environment variables including: distance between adapters, network traffic, noise on electrical wires, building material and construction, quality of electrical installation and other adverse conditions.
First, please ensure both Powerline adapters are plugged directly into wall outlets - no surge protectors or power strips, as these will directly interfere with the connection. We recommend following the suggestions outlined in FAQ 409 on our official website: https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/409/
If you'd like assistance with any of these steps, please reach out to our free support team using any of the resources included with the product, or from our official website, and we'll gladly have a Support Agent follow up with you directly.
Thank you, TP-Link Support

Have two sets of these to get cat5/6 cable to far reZches if the house from the router.
Used for “reliable” connections where WiFi is hard to reach or for tech that needs cat connection.

This is my second set of these. Rather than fish wires through the walls and cut holes, why not use Ethernet over a power line? Make sure you get the gigabit one, not the lesser model. You won't be disappointed!
