" ... Does what it needs to, very satisfied, use it for all my customers' home networks ... "

" ... Just connect to your router, forget the range extenders. ... "
" ... I have a 3 story house and it isusually a pain getting reliable wifi signals with my laptop gaming setup. ... "
" ... Strategic placement of these improved my wifi reception all over the house. ... "
" ... The two boxes are separated by about 150 feet. ... "

" ... Since connecting to Ethernet with this device playing online is much smoother. ... "
" ... I've gone through quite a few power line adapters however. ... "
" ... This is the first powerline ethernet adapter I've bought that delivers the speeds it advertises. ... Plug in power, plug in ethernet, enjoy internet. ... "
" ... My computer's internet speeds work just as well as if i were plugged directly into my router! ... Comes with the Ethernet cables as well. ... "
" ... Why run a long ethernet cable (along the floor, over door frames, etc.) ... when you can save all the hassle using a powerline adapter and get the same results? ... "
" ... I have no idea about the quality of the existing wiring in the house, but this thing just worked from the time it was plugged in. ... "
" ... I bought this to experiment with Powerline and get two steaming devices in a bedroom I have on Ethernet and off of WiFi. ... "
" ... We moved into a new house and we needed ethernet connectivity for one of our offices. ... The speed is about 1/2 of what I could get if I did full 100% wired ethernet, but we have pretty fast internet, so 75Mbps is fine for the use. ... I will probably still end up wiring everything with ethernet, but these devices are a good substitute until I can get to that task. ... "

" ... Easy to install ... "
" ... But they are very easy to install it’s basically plug and play. ... "
" ... I have a recent MAC where it's easy to turn hard wired ethernet and wifi on and off, reboot, and make really specific tests. ... "
" ... So easy to install, and my network speeds have never been faster in this room. ... "

" ... Much more stable connection over wifi. ... "
" ... For months I have been looking for a product that would extend the range on my WIFI router. ... "
" ... I had bought a wifi repeater and this is leaps and bounds better than that! ... "
" ... Strategic placement of these improved my wifi reception all over the house. ... "
" ... We were having issues with our new Smart TV and PS4 not being able to access wifi due to our router being at the opposite end of the house. ... "
" ... Definitely a great, great, alternative for someone that needs a "faster" connected internet connection compared to wireless. ... "
" ... perfect, since I have a stand alone computer or in the back this worked perfect, the wifi did not react this location ... "
" ... This was unavoidable for me due to plug and router location. ... "

" ... Probably buy more to extend all over the house. ... "
" ... I have one of those for another floor and while it does increase range, the performance/speed is much slower. ... "
" ... This device is consistently around 50-60 Mbps, while our WiFi, which is a few rooms away, is consistently 100+ Mbps. ... "
" ... My wireless router is upstairs on one end of the house and my TV is downstairs on the other end of the house. ... "
" ... The garage is about 30 feet from the house and I get a good signal (green light) from the unit it's paired with, and the throughput is good without any hitches or intermittent latency. ... I tested this a couple of times to verify that the unit in the basement only had connectivity to the unit it was paired with, meaning that data going between the computer in the basement and the internet (via the unit plugged in to the router) had to travel through the unit in the garage first, because that's the unit it was originally paired with. ... "
" ... Really solved my problem with poor wi-fi signal in one of my rooms ... "
" ... It works great for inside house. ... I have a detached building about 75 ft from house. ... I can go all over the house and it works great. ... It does work well in the house so I will fined a use for it. ... "
" ... My router is about 20 feet away from the ps4 in the living room so i have been playing wirelessly on the ps4 and anyone who games knows that wireless consoles is not the best way to go haha . ... "

" ... I easily maintain my 150/150mbps speeds and haven't had a single hiccup in the 3 months I've used this thing. ... "
" ... My download and upload speeds have nearly doubled. ... "
" ... With these adapters I have basically no loss in speed from my server, it's great! ... "

" ... The speeds that you get on this are not too bad at all , we pay our provider for speeds up to 250-300 mbps and while this product only reaches around 50 - 60 mbps for me (compared to my wireless a7000 Wi-Fi adapter getting around 200 mbps) it is still enough to provide a VERY STABLE wired connection that has no speed drops or poor connection issues during my gaming sessions. ... "
" ... Works just like a standard network connection. ... "
" ... I bought this as an alternative and my internet connection has been incredibly better ... "
" ... I works if you are willing to devote a wall to having internet. ... "
" ... Finally, I came across an article that recommended Broadband Over Powerline and this was the product that I ended up purchasing. ... "
" ... My internet speed directly connected: 300mbps ... "
" ... I'm almost pulling my max download speed from isp. ... "
" ... and u have ethernet connection i just bought one but definitely going to get another set for the other rooms p.s make sure to check the mbs limits they have ones that will send faster speed so if u plan on buying find ojt your internet speed and buy the one right for you ... "
