My son constantly complained about the broadband speed when gaming with his friends online. This was very frustrating as I have one of the fastest broadband packages you can get. After speaking to our service provider they suggested trying to hardwired items like gaming computers and consoles that require super fast connection speeds for streaming gaming and movies.Having read multiple reviews on all the available adapters I decided to give these TP-Line adapters a go.Setting up is very straight forward. Do the following: -Plug in both adapters to sockets close to each other (to start with)Press the pair button on one of the adapters for 1 second. The green LED indicator starts flashingNext,

This is my forth powerline device, which is working successfully with the BT broadband TV.I bought a pair of BT Extender Flex 500 for the router-TV connection four years ago, which was fine until I added the third one for the connection to a desktop PC. The third addition killed the broadband TV signal, so I returned the third one as a BT engineer said at that time the powerline communication would not work for TV if a computer was involved (I don't know if this is true.)Recently I needed a third powerline device for the desktop PC and it is four years now since I gave up that idea. So I decided to buy a new product. I bought Devolo Magic 2 WiFi Powerline Whole Home WiFi Kit of three devices,

I got these for my student accommodation where the router is in the living room and there are no ethernet ports in the rooms. I bought two sets, one for the router, one for the Steam-Link by the TV, and one each for the two desktops in each bedroom.The connection is fast and stable, being able to fully utilise my internet connection with no slow-downs, nice! Streaming using the Steam-Link feels like just using a HDMI cable, absolutely no stuttering or latency. Mouse movement is fast and responsive. Using all 4 at once also has no effect on the internet speed, I expect with download speeds approaching their limit, you may find that it’ll stop going up,

Summary of how the new PA7010 model performs compared to the old PA411 model...(see photo of old and new model side by side below)ProsAlmost twice as fastCompletely stable and reliableConsSocket pass through version huge compared to non pass throughWe have owned old PA411 powerline adaptors for many years (like in the pic), and for the most part have been happy with them. However, whilst they are reliable 98% of the time, all three of ours had intermittent daily dropouts....which is quite annoying when using as a means to stream movies/TV. We have to stop, wait a minute or so and then reconnect. There seems to be no fix (too old to upgrade firmware)

With needing to work (and play) from home much more often I found myself needing a strong and reliable Ethernet connection much more often than when I did most of my work in the office. My phone line and wireless router sit by my front door but my office space is upstairs in the spare room, and running a cable up the stairs or drilling through the ceiling in order to feed a cable up towards my office was not feasible.Looking into alternative solutions I discovered TP-Link Powerline which uses your mains power as "extra cabelling" for an Ethernet connection that can pass data through and essentially allows you to use your wall sockets as Ethernet extensions.

These adapters were so easy to setup, literally plug and play - recommend the optional pairing which takes another few seconds for the additional security. My setup is having the source adapter on one wall of the house by the router in the living room, with the destination on the direct opposite wall of the house by my PC in the study. On this AV1000 model I get approx. 125 Mbps between my PC and hard wired devices (e.g. NAS), or around 15 MB/s. This is a little disappointing, as the frequency reported in the tpPLC utility (also recommended) fluctuates between 600-800 Mbps, so the actual speeds are less than a quarter of that. However, it so much more stable than my wireless AC connection and faster than my more reliable wireless N connection,

I purchased this more expensive version as the cheaper versions may not have the plug socket pass through and also whilst the cheaper versions may indicate a 600 m/bit through put the actual individual port are limited to 100 m/bit each which is the equivalent of about 10 megabytes a second which is less bandwidth than some internet connections. This version has full gigabit ports each capable of 1,000 m/bit or equivalent to 100 megabytes a second.The plugs installed flawlessly however note that you only need 1 input from your router, do not plug 2 inputs in, that crashed my router :)Since I have installed this from my downstairs living room to my upstairs office my ping has reduced slightly

I already had a powerline network with TPLink AV500s for the smart TV but due to old wiring it used to drop out now and again and didn't reach remoter sockets at all well. I plugged one of these in as the primary connection to the router and immediately everything speeded up and got a better signal. The pairing button works the same way so I didn't need to read the instructions to join the existing network but I found later that resetting the network and pairing the AV500s to this gave even better results. It doesn't have the flashing lights of the AV500s and they are on the side so hard to see in certain configurations. A red centre light indicates poor reception,

Simply perfect, straight out of the box. They came with 2 ethernet cables, quite short to be honest, but more than enough from the Virgin Media modem to the mains. Plugged in the 1st in the mains, VM modem, wait 1 minute top to recognise the connection, attach the second to the mains next to my PS4, wait for the signal, plug the cable to the console. Done.Be aware that you will not get 600mb! That's the max transfer rate between the two devices. Then it's up to the cable quality, status and age of your electrical line, the device ethernet port you will attach, your broadband contract and other factors. I have Virgin Media VIVID 200 Optical Fibre and on the PS4 I tested with the Network software by Playstation with a result of 65 Mbps download,

I was a Devolo fan for many years but their latest plugs are dire, overpriced and don’t last long. I decided to bite the bullet and buy several 2 pack kits to replace my devolo plugs. Well first thing is, 1, 4 plugs cost me less than a single devolo plug, 2, so much easier to set up, plug it in push the button and away you go, a lot less hassle than the devolo set up. Considering how much cheaper these units are compared to devolo there has been no performance loss and even if in the future I have to replace any dead units then I would rather do it at this price rather than the ridiculous price devolo charge. One issue if you use a Apple Mac, the tp link software is not compatible (yet)

I already had the TL-WPA4220KIT starter kit from TP-Link and wanted to add a couple of extra Ethernet points and this did the job perfectly. Easy enough to pair up and works very well. And the passthrough socket is useful as it means you're not losing a socket.I only had one slight hiccup when initially pairing it up with my existing network. The kit I already had consists of one non-wifi unit which is connected to the router, and two wifi units which are positioned elsewhere. When I paired the new adaptors with the existing non-wifi unit, they worked straight away but the other two existing wifi units were no longer recognised. I paired those up with the existing non-wifi unit,

I bought these for my mum as she was fed up with the wireless connection dropping out on her pc which is upstairs and the router downstairs.They are really simple to setup and I had them up and running in less than 10 minutes.Great connection quality and she now gets the full speed from her fibre broadband.They have been fitted for several weeks now and she hasn't experienced any issues with them they just work as intended.The pass-through is great as it means you don't lose a power socket and they are small so work ok with power extensions but it is recommended you use them in the actual wall socket if possible.

I bought this to replace my TalkTalk powerline adaptors. I recently upgraded to 76Mb and then found that Talk Talk cant get me any faster than 52MB, this after a TalkTalk engineer and BT engineer visited, and also found my speed over the powerline dropped to 25Mb when it got to my desk. I installed this and after reading the instructions and resetting and then pairing the devices which is very easy, just hold down the button, I found I now get the same speed at my desk over the power lines as I do at the rooter. So no complaints and as it a high speed unit I hope it is future proof when I finally get speeds closer to what I am paying for and even one day closer to Gigabit speeds but I am not

I have given them 5* for gaming, though in truth this is irrelevant for me. I now have four of these in total and I swear by them. Buy the fastest you can afford, bearing in mind if you mix different types they will all automatically configure themselves to work at the speed of the slowest one, some have more than one port, some have a socket 'through socket' (so you don't waste a socket), and some are wireless too. And always go by Amazon customer reviews. I have one in my Lounge connected to my router which effectively enables anywhere I plug another one in my house to be Network ready. I then have one in the kitchen, one in the bedroom and one in the garage,

Excellent piece(s) of kit. I was having some connection problems with my PS4 on WiFi even though it's only about 5 metres away from the router and on the same floor of the house.Bought these and they literally took 2 minutes at most to set up. Plug them in near each other (I just put them both in the same double socket), press the pair button and wait for them to sync. After that connect the cables to the router and the plug by my Playstation and set to wired connection.Worked straight away, no need to fiddle or add any settings, download speeds have been noticeably higher and far fewer latency issues.I would definitely recommend these over a set without passthrough as not losing the plug
