" ... It worked great, beyond my wildest dreams, the signal traveled well over 400 ft through 3 breaker panels 2 ground faults with no loss of signal ... "
" ... I was getting a strong WiFi signal throughout the entire house. ... "
" ... After setup I moved the transmitter to other side of home in garage (same outlet as garage door opener), roughly 45' from router. ... My internet at home WiFi router is about 180/12 and on wireless in garage I get roughly 150/8. ... Ping is slightly less than on home router but good for most tasks. ... Signal strength covers entire front yard which is about 70' from transmitter which steel garage door closed. ... "
" ... Lost my internet signal in the back of the house. ... Plugged this up and got full signal. ... "
" ... I was searching for a stronger router when I read something about powerline adapters and I'm glad I did. ... I priced out better routers and the cost of running cat 5 upstairs but these powerline adapters solved my problem for a lot less money. ... And I instantly had almost the same signal speeds as I had when plugged directly into the router. ... The drop-off in my case was very, very small and the connection is quite stable. ... "
" ... Works great if you need to extend wired network or put in an AP into another part of your house. ... "
" ... I looked into the TP-link powerline's and decided that this was the best one for my needs. ... "
" ... I use this to extend my wifi to the detached garage. ... "

" ... I may purchase a few more to setup in other rooms specifically for wifi range extensions. ... "
" ... My router is on one and the rest of the house is on the other one. ... I purchased instead the TP Link AC1200 which is wireless and it works just fine. ... "
" ... Before this, I was using a wifi repeater and getting 15/10 downstairs when my plan is 75/50. ... "
" ... I was having trouble with getting the wireless signal from my router on the main level of the house to the "man cave" in the basement. ... "
" ... I'd recommend this product all day long to anyone looking for an inexpensive, workable solution to getting a solid wifi signal, to an area that's impossible to do with a wireless router alone! ... "

" ... All the rooms are end to end in a line. ... (two bedrooms, a bathroom, a kitchen, and two large common rooms with one super-long hallway connecting them). ... That we can create another identical broadcast of our wireless signal with one device, and do it very efficiently over the wires in our house without running a 150m cable down the hallway of eternity is wonderful. ...
