Work great in a pinch.

These work great as long as you know what to expect. As a Network Engineer by trade I have always been interested in powerline technology as running cable is pricey. These are great when your in a pinch. Do they take the place of running a drop? Absolutely not. You do not get the speeds advertised by the vendor. That being said I have tried a few different model powerlines and found these to work the best.

paired the two and like magic, I had a stable connection

I have Verizon Fios internet service and live in a 2 story home built in 1984. The router is on the ground floor in the living room, and my XBOX ONE S is in my man cave on the 2nd floor as far away from the router as it can possibly be. The wifi card could not pick up the 5gz network so I connected it to the 2.4gz network. The console was barely picking up the network and was only delivering 5.87mbps download and 7.70mbps upload. So I invested in this product. This Powerline Product does exactly as I expected! I unpacked the two units, plugged the first downstairs into the outlet right by the router. I used a Cat6 cable to connect the Ethernet and then proceeded top pug the other unit to the plug in my man cave and then used a second Cat6 cable to connect the unit to my XBOX ONE S, paired the two and like magic, I had a stable connection. Now my XBOX was receiving 97.73mbps download and 73.57mbps upload!!! More than enough to game without any network interruptions!!!

Insane Speed..

3x faster than AV500, to a distant room. My XAV5101 was getting 57Mbps. TLP-9020 is getting 174Mbps. I measured both, using the new tpPLC Utility, to have a level comparison. That's way more than I imagined, with a 1960's house electrical wiring. BTW - This is the version to get [TL-PA9020]. The Pass-Thru Version [TL-PA9020P] will block the upper outlet. Either way, you are left with one outlet, so why pay more for the Pass-Thru Version? We have come a long way from PowerLine Phone-Jacks (that never worked, on this same pathway) to now having 174Mbps Network Speed. Perhaps I dated myself there.

Amazing! I now get blazing speeds across the whole ...

Amazing! I now get blazing speeds across the whole house. I get the same speed on the other end of the house as i get right next to the router. Save me from spending more money on one of those "mesh network" solutions. The only caveat is that it did NOT work across the two "legs" of the electrical wiring. I had to scramble to run an Ethernet cable to an outlet that is on the same "leg" of the outlet where i wanted to put the extender. It was worth it though! I finally got my daughter out my ear about her ever-growing wifi gadgets not working or working slow. I may just buy another kit to cover the other electrical "leg" so i have have close to full speed wifi all over the house.

They work! Period!

These things work better than anything that I've ever used. I have a tri level home with the main router on the lower floor. We have a computer, laptop, and two smart tv's on the upper floor, and all of them were suffering from a medium to low wifi signal all of the time. Keep in mind that my house was built in the mid 1970's, so it's basically a faraday cage, with brick, metal and just about everything that's not friendly to getting a strong signal. I've setup repeaters in the past which work pretty good, but they are more trouble than they are worth to setup. As soon as I plugged these guys into the wall outlets, and set them up, I immediately saw my wifi bars go from two or three, to five on every device that I had in my house. I can stream video and have yet to have one buffer or stall, and the speeds are exactly the same as they are right next to my main router. Setup was easy, and the units have been running 24/7 with no problems whatsoever. I have yet to find one drawback or complaint from using these units and that's a rarity today with just about anything that you buy. 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! Please note: I did not receive this product for free, or in exchange for a review. Product was paid for in full by me, and the results mentioned above were in no way influenced by TP-Link or any other third party.

Very happy with performance!

I was initially worried, as we are in an old home that has old wiring (some reviews warned of this), but this works awesome. I have tried range extenders in the past, with horrible luck. My son is an avid gamer, and finds this is as good as a direct connection. I am planning to buy two more for other parts of the house. One note: The size of the unit is such that the other plug in the outlet used has limited accessibility. If you are planning to use a power strip in that plug, be sure to buy one that plugs straight in (as opposed to the ones today that are often at angles to "save space" ... those won't work next to the TP-Link Powerline Adapter). A small issue, but it may save you a trip to Home Depot to return a power strip!

I'm pretty sure this is sorcery

So maybe I just don't understand. You plug in an ethernet cable into one of these, and plug the thing into your power outlet. Then you just do the same thing somewhere else in your house, and you have a very reliable and very fast network connection. I'm pretty sure this is sorcery. These devices are quite literally plug-n-play - no setup required - and they work flawlessly for me. These are great for getting wifi to the other side of the house (stick one on your router, and hook up an access point to another) OR in our case getting a more "wired-like" connection to a desktop that is pretty far away from any wireless signal.

Extends Internet To Our OutBuilding Where WIFI Wouldn't Reach

We have an outbuilding that I converted to a man cave but could not get a good WIFI signal out there using my laptop and our existing equipment. There were a lot of options to accomplish my goal but this worked extremely well. I plugged one adapter into an outlet and the DSL router, then plugged the other into another outlet in the same room, and synched them per the included instructions. It worked like a charm. Next I used my laptop and the second adapter to connect to the Internet. I moved the two devices to outlets all over the house (upstairs, downstairs) and each one worked. Next, I tried it in the outbuilding and had the same success. I have not measured upload/download speeds (since it is working well enough for my needs) but it works well for web browsing, streaming Amazon Video, etc. Oh, our house is 70+ years old, with old wiring, and I have no idea how old the outbuilding is. Before I bought these TP-Link devices, I ran about 50 ft of CAT 6 cable through my basement and garage, drilled a hole through a concrete wall and installed an Ethernet jack to extend the Internet from one room to another. I could have done the same thing in 10 minutes with two of these. Plus, if I ever move, I can take these with me.

Easy Peasy

Let me say this at the beginning: I never thought powerline would be an option for me due to the distance and the age of the wiring in the house. I was wrong. I bought this as my home office is in the basement, but the cable modem/wifi router is on the second floor. I was getting decent reception, but nothing great, and it was making VOIP calls difficult and downloads too slow - work wasn't getting done. So I bought this powerline adapter. I wasn't sure if this would even work - my house is 90 years old and I have no idea when the current wires were installed, not to mention the fact that I was going from the second floor down to the basement - not exactly ideal laboratory conditions. The first thing I did was to get them paired. I decided to pair them first before connecting any network cables, so I paired them in the basement. There's 2 pieces to this kit: the "adapter" which connects to your router, and the "extender" which receives the internet signal and then sends it out via wifi. I pressed the "pair" button on the adapter for 1 second, as instructed, but nothing happened. I noticed the instructions said to press it again if nothing happens, and after the second press, the light was blinking. I went to the extender and pressed the "pair" button for 1 second - almost instantly, the devices paired. Then I unplugged the adapter and installed it upstairs with the ethernet cable connected from the router to the adapter. It paired immediately again. I decided to press the WPS (wifi protected setup) button on my router while I was up there, then ran back down to the basement and hit the wifi button on the extender. The extender copied the wifi settings and began broadcasting my wifi network. I've tested both the wired and wireless connections from the extender - I'm getting 70-80Mbps on average, and have a 100Mbps connection from my ISP, so that's really good all things considered. I was previously getting ~25Mbps and the connection would drop randomly. This is a big improvement and I'm very happy with the setup. It took longer to write this review than to actually get this set up! I'm very impressed by the ease of use and speed considering the circumstances. If it works in my 90 year old house, it should work in yours.

Use these to get rid of Wifi connections for your security cameras!

These are an absolute miracle as they allowed me to essentially utilize CAT6 ethernet connections when there wasn't a conventional ethernet jack present. I chose the TL-WPA-8630 kit as it had the most (3) ethernet ports. Also, these are exactly what I needed to 'hardwire' my IP cams as Wifi connections were not only slow, but shoddy as well. Say goodbye to typical wifi range extenders that require a new SSID. These powerline adapters are able to utilize your existing SSID!! I bought two kits as I needed another extender for its set of three (3) ethernet ports. The extenders pair up very easy with the main adapter. All in all, a solid 10 and all thumbs and big toes up by yours truly!
