Since 2012, we have been using Powerline Ethernet Adapters throughout the house. It was easier than running Cat cables and setting up a network of wireless access points and/or wireless extenders. Well, as can happen. One of them went bellyup! We have no complaints! Not after 13 years. We certainly got our money’s worth from them. However, they are no longer available.After some research and reading reviews, we bought this TP-Link AV1000 Powerline Ethernet Double Set of Adapters as a replacement starter kit. Plug and Play -- It installed in minutes. The hardest thing was moving the desk. Works beautifully! Without measuring, we’re visually recognizing about 3-4 times difference in speed, maybe more! We’re pleased just with that. And we intend to buy more!

This kit works GREAT!!I live in a townhouse. Router is downstairs and my son's computer is upstairs. He was gaming over WiFi. Barely fast enough. Was having issues with ping and download speeds.Installed this kit. There was no way to get the units on the same circuit. So I just installed them on different circuits to see if there's be any improvement. Even on different circuits, it's night and day. WAAAY faster speeds. Ping is now less than 10 consistently. Actually shocked at how well it works. I definitely recommend trying this kit.

These were OK. There was nothing inherently wrong with them or dysfunctional. They worked but I just could not achieve the speeds I needed with them. I would be open to trying them again in the future for other uses, but honestly, my Wi-Fi was faster. I ended up returning them, but as mentioned earlier, they were functional to a certain degree. They just were not for me.

I needed to connect an Ethernet-only network printer to a network, but was limited on how close I could either place the printer or run the Ethernet cable.Solution? Picked up one of these. It didn't need to be sophisticated since it's only talking to a printer, but it did need to work and preferably not be difficult to setup. I can safely say it certainly works and required only pressing a button for the two devices to sync.Absolutely cheaper than buying another printer and theoretically more secure and reliable than a wireless AP.Unfortunately, I can't report on speed quality since the ISP speed for this network doesn't surpass the devices' speed rating. But I have no reason to believe it isn't capable of at least 50-75% of its claimed 1 Mbps. So, can't help if you plan to "play" games with these, but the router seemed to believe them to be capable of the claimed speeds.I trust TP-Link for other network devices, so I'm not surprised it "just works."Something to keep in mind is that having multiple of these devices on the same network may not work quite as easily. You'll need to investigate in advance.Worth it!

Don't expect a gigabit speed on this or similar device. You can get a steady 100-200 Mbit/s which is enough for most of the applications. Please note - no WiFi, which is better security. Connection is steady and you don't need to install full-house WiFi.Depending on the distance from the master unit a speed may vary.Make sure you plug in those units directly to the outlet (!) and the other outlet should be on the same wire. If not you may not even get a connection at all or speeds like 10Mbit/s. Check your electric switch box.So, don't get gigillionaire fiber with a lot of Gbit/s, first of all you don't need that speed, second - you will get only ~200 Mbit/s on the device, third - you will save a ton of money.Other thoughts.A design of the unit is horrendous. When you insert into the outlet, a second plug technically cannot be inserted (unless you force it or use a file to cut some plastic out from the unit). Why it was so hard to move components inside so the second plug could be easily inserted into the outlet? Ok, you will get one back due to a "pass through".The best you can do is to hardwire your house instead of trying WiFi, Mesh or similar powerline devices.On attached images:1 - speedtest via WiFi2 - speedtest via powerline adapter, it's OK.

My peak download speed decreased a bit, but my ping, packet loss, and overall connection while playing games has vastly improved. As far as gaming is concerned this is an amazing product, and easy to set up.If your wifi works fine where you’d be using this, there isn’t much point as this isn’t designed to improve your download speeds. It provides a more stable but generally slower connection than wifi so it’s pretty use case dependent.As far as playing the new cod goes though, this improved my experience from regular rubber-banding to consistent lag-free gameplay.

Lo conecto a mi Xbox para jugar en lÃnea, y es muy estable. Altamente recomendado, y que tenga el Plug adicional se agradece profundamente. No estas desperdiciando contactos.

Tengo una habitación lejos del router, compré esto para mejorar la señal y menudo cambio. Instalarlo es facilÃsimo, solo hay que enchufarlo a la corriente y presionar un botón. Lo recomiendo
