    Never could get them to work very far in my house - if I put them on an outlet in the same room they worked but even then it wasn't very fast. Might be might electrical wiring...

      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 our FAQ here: 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,

    Tried to use these at my in-laws house to provide a wired connection to a TV that was in a bad spot for WiFi, but I could not get the units to pair reliably. They do say they need to be on the same circuit, but I have power line devices at my house on different circuits and they work fine. I then plugged both into the same outlet and they did pair immediately, so I guess they work, but just not at that house. I had to return them.

    Works as expected. It provides better and more reliable network than wifi in an area of the house with low wifi coverage. Make sure to have them on the same circuit for it to function properly.

    I’m not sure if it’s because I’m in a new building but there are a ridiculous amount of drops and packet losses which does not work with secure vpn systems. I had to return this. Also Max transfer was 100 mbps... that’s way too slow. I’m so incredibly disappointed.
