I read hundreds so many reviews here with many stating that this kit was just a waste of time. But then I thought, hiw could this have 4 and a half stars with nearly 8k reviews, something must be good about. I really needed a wired output behind my TV to provide a fast and consistent wired internet to my many devices. I firstly sought confirmation as to whether a powerline adapter could be connected to a switch thereby providing extra ports to serve each device. Thus was duly confirmed so half way there. The next and most important question was whether these would provide the same speed as I was paying for which is 100mb from Virgin Media.

Right my situation is I have a mancave 120ft away from my router at the end of the garden and could get netflix or amazon prime via WiFi as distance was to far even for a wifi extender.Powerline adapters work via your electrical wiring and say both devices that you plug into the power must be on the same curcuit.Here lies some confusion as houses have many curcuits such as downstairs power socket ring mains , upstairs socket ring mains,individual out building cuircuits etc..So heres what I have below and it worked instantly !The man cave armoured power cable comes from my consumer unit on its own 32amp mcb switch breaker .In the cave the cable terminates into a small outbuilding consumer unit with 2 mcb's one for lighting and 1 for power ring cuircuits .

This product would have been 5 stars but for the fact the product includes what is actually a not very clever power saving setting. It's designed to detect inactivity on the power adapter and send it to sleep BUT I don't want that! 3 of the 4 units came with it not set as the default so all well with them, but the 4th plug unit goes into standby so receives no data on the network after a while (it indicates it is on and it is linked but no data is being received with the data light off) My system is just the power adapters with one sending and 3 receiving data and sending it to a dedicated set of TP link dual 2.4 /5g wifi routers one located on each floor.

I upgraded from TP Link 500mbps powerline adapters without any passthrough to these 1Gbps with passthrough to allow me to use the socket that I had been missing for years again. They are literally plug and play, they are a little large but need to be for the circuitry to allow for the passthrough feature. I chose these TP link ones as the ethernet cable comes in/out the bottom of the adapter making a much neater appearance vs. Netgear ones which come out of the top and the cable then has to droop down to the skirting which is not as pleasing if the socket is not hidden.I've never had an issue with my previous TPlink products and do not expect these to fail me either.

Our house has two fuse boxes, the main router is powered off a downstairs ring main on fuse box 1 and my 'office' is in a garage conversion and on both a completely different ring main AND via a second spurred off fuse box. I bought this item with a view that I may have to get the second plug 'as close as I could' to the office using the main house electrics and run a network cable the rest of the way. I needn't have worried! I can confirm even across different rings and fuseboxes and RCDs this product does work.Just some extra information, I did set up the two plugs in sockets about 6 feet apart to start with, verified the connection was made via the lights on the plug and THEN moved the second plug into the office.

Why oh why didn't I do this before!Having struggled through lockdown with an intermittent wifi signal in my new home office (built as an extension meaning the signal had to go through what used to be an external wall...) I now have a lightening fast ethernet connection. No longer will I have to suffer the embarrassment of being the only one who has to drop off video during important zoom meetings!Could not have been easier to set up. I bought the passthrough versions, so I could still use the socket for other stuff at either end. Plug 'em in, press the connection button on each unit and sit back for seconds few while the electronic wizardry does its business. It really is that simple.

My grandson was suffering wifi drop outs while gaming on his Play Station due to dead spots in the house, i did not want to run an Ethernet cable all the way up to his bedroom so got these power line adapters.They are very easy to fit and for the none tech savy its just a case of following the picture instructions, same with the wifi extender instructions if your not going to hard wire devices to them but use its wifi option instead.The PS4 was getting around 15mbps from a 30mbps internet speed from their ISP, after using the power line adaptors and hard wiring the PS4 using the 2 supplied ethernet cables he is now getting the full 30mbps with zero drop outs.I also liked the passthrough option

this is not as good as ethernet, so if ethernet is an option for you just get a $5 cat-6 cable. but for 39.99, you will get a really solid connection with very few ping spikes. i needed reliable internet in my bedroom which is 2 floors above the wifi router. wifi/wifi extenders have been terrible for gaming. ethernet would not be a viable solution. hopefully my speedtests will give you some sort of indication of what speeds you are likely to get in relation to your package:5ghz wifi extender (with PC 6m from router):down: 47up: 19*still intermittent connection*wifi (with PC 6m from router):down: 4up: 11*surprisingly very intermittent*ethernet:down:220up: 20*as fast reliable as you can get*5ghz

I've never installed a Powerline network before. I wish I had!Super-simple, plug & play, no hassle set-up. Instead of a shaky wifi booster connection shared with my wife and kids in a low reception area of our house, I now have a fast ethernet connection from our broadband router, via the house electricity wiring, and out via another ethernet cable in my study straight to my PC.I bought the version with a built-in extra plug socket too => no need to sacrifice a socket.Only issue I might point out is the size. The units aren't unexpectedly large - around the same size as a standard plug-in wifi booster - but they point downwards. Per my uploaded image, that means that if your target socket is neatly near a skirting board,

My lad is always moaning about lag and buffering on his Xbox. Even though we have a mesh system we are always having problems with bandwidth. I reluctantly bought these and wasn't convinced they'd make any difference. You simply plug them in the socket and plug the router into it and the Xbox (or whatever item you're using) into the other. Press the pairing button on the bottom of both .. then within a few seconds they paired.The results are unbelievable ... Super fast ..no buffering and stable. They aren't cheap ... £50 for 2, however that is only one gadget ... So you have to but more plugs if for example you have a playstation in another room. The other negative is you can only buy them in 2s ...

Didn't hold out much hope for these, but I was surprised. I suppose it comes down to varying factors, but since my house is new, with fresh wiring, maybe that seals it? Bought for Raspberry Pi's in bedroom, as they are terrible with built in Wi-Fi, and they excel with these indeed. Full speed through each of them via these little devices, and I didn't even have to 'pair' them, just plugged in and they worked.I'm knocking a star off, as they are rather hot to the touch, so I will definitely not be plugging anything into them via passthrough, although they do power down when not in use, still, I ain't risking it, plus they are 2 inches thick, so anything plugged in would weigh on the device,

I bought this to boost my internet connection between my laptop and the router, after struggling daily with running MS Teams and various other programmes simultaneously whilst working from home. So far, it's an amazing purchase. My internet connection feels like I'm back at the office and runs exceptionally faster than it was when I was using WiFi. It's very easy to connect and set up takes a few minutes. Only negative comment I have is the fact that the ethernet cables supplied with the plugs are only 1metre long. So if you're router or laptop is a distance away from the nearest plug socket then I recommend you buy longer ethernet cables to set this up with.

I'm on a 1gig connection but only achieve between 120-170 mb/s (15-22 MB/s) while on this powerline adapter, wifi I can achieve between 600-700 while upstairs but it isn't as stable.Like my old powerline adapter, this sometimes disconnects you. I haven't been able to fix this problem but only occurs once when I start up my computer and reconnects in a couple of seconds.If you are on a connection lower than 200mb/s I would recommend this, as you will achieve your actual speed.For anyone that has anything above that I would recommend getting something else as these will never achieve the actual speeds unless you plug it in the same room as the router.

Nice and compact little units. I replaced my 500Mbps TP Link units with these twice as fast Gigabit ones and I no longer have problems when watching iPlayer or any other Internet based programs on my TV. I have one adapter upstairs next to our WiFi router and the next one next to our TV downstairs in the lounge. Uses the house wiring perfectly. Took less than 2minutes to set it up.Brilliant and I do recommend these. The 500Mbps adapters were pretty much ok for most Internet based programs, but on occasion, the data rate was not quite good enough and we had quite a bit of buffering going on.

What can I say really, apart from it does what it says. I now have 6x TP-Link Power Lines.These now act as master and other is my main computer room PL. Updated software is excellent. It sees all PL's on network (before it was painful, you had to connect directly to each PL and set it up), which allows easy config and your now able to secure all PL's in one go.Despite the ratings of powerlines, you will never get the full amount. Previous version was a 500mbps, I only ever got 200mbps. Now with this one, Im getting 500mbps. It depends on wiring in your house, extensions, etc etc.
