TP-Link AV1000 Powerline Ethernet Adapter Kit (TL-PA7017P KIT) - Passthrough, Noise Filtering, Gigabit Port, Plug Pair & Play, Network Adapter

Perfect solution for needing to wire a server when your router’s on the other side of the house. Extremely fast in my home too (no degradation), but I’ll warn, depending on the electrical work in your home, and the internet companies wiring, you could be limited in bandwidth. Make sure you check those before assuming there’s a problem with this device, because it’s flawless. I’m so impressed I may buy more of these for my connection-intensive devices.

Since 2012, we have been using Monster Digital Life PowerNet 200 Powerline Ethernet Adapters throughout the house. It was easier than running Cat cables and setting up a network of wireless access points and/or wireless extenders. Well, as can happen. One of them went bellyup! We have no complaints! Not after 13 years. We certainly got our money’s worth from them. However, they are no longer available.After some research and reading reviews, we bought this TP-Link AV1000 Powerline Ethernet Double Set of Adapters as a replacement starter kit. Plug and Play -- It installed in minutes. The hardest thing was moving the desk. Works beautifully! Without measuring, we’re visually recognizing about 3-4 times difference in speed, maybe more! We’re pleased just with that. And we intend to buy more!

These were OK. There was nothing inherently wrong with them or dysfunctional. They worked but I just could not achieve the speeds I needed with them. I would be open to trying them again in the future for other uses, but honestly, my Wi-Fi was faster. I ended up returning them, but as mentioned earlier, they were functional to a certain degree. They just were not for me.

Perfect to get networking out to my shed without having to run underground conduit. Saved me a lot of time and money. Reliable and good speed.

Don't expect a gigabit speed on this or similar device. You can get a steady 100-200 Mbit/s which is enough for most of the applications. Please note - no WiFi, which is better security. Connection is steady and you don't need to install full-house WiFi.Depending on the distance from the master unit a speed may vary.Make sure you plug in those units directly to the outlet (!) and the other outlet should be on the same wire. If not you may not even get a connection at all or speeds like 10Mbit/s. Check your electric switch box.So, don't get gigillionaire fiber with a lot of Gbit/s, first of all you don't need that speed, second - you will get only ~200 Mbit/s on the device, third - you will save a ton of money.Other thoughts.A design of the unit is horrendous. When you insert into the outlet, a second plug technically cannot be inserted (unless you force it or use a file to cut some plastic out from the unit). Why it was so hard to move components inside so the second plug could be easily inserted into the outlet? Ok, you will get one back due to a "pass through".The best you can do is to hardwire your house instead of trying WiFi, Mesh or similar powerline devices.On attached images:1 - speedtest via WiFi2 - speedtest via powerline adapter, it's OK.

I needed to connect an Ethernet-only network printer to a network, but was limited on how close I could either place the printer or run the Ethernet cable.Solution? Picked up one of these. It didn't need to be sophisticated since it's only talking to a printer, but it did need to work and preferably not be difficult to setup. I can safely say it certainly works and required only pressing a button for the two devices to sync.Absolutely cheaper than buying another printer and theoretically more secure and reliable than a wireless AP.Unfortunately, I can't report on speed quality since the ISP speed for this network doesn't surpass the devices' speed rating. But I have no reason to believe it isn't capable of at least 50-75% of its claimed 1 Mbps. So, can't help if you plan to "play" games with these, but the router seemed to believe them to be capable of the claimed speeds.I trust TP-Link for other network devices, so I'm not surprised it "just works."Something to keep in mind is that having multiple of these devices on the same network may not work quite as easily. You'll need to investigate in advance.Worth it!

Only getting 20mbps when the pair are on the same electrical circuit. While not on the same circuit, the pair cannot sync at all to create a network. So it's kinda pointless to install them, as WiFi does about 10X-20X for me. I was hoping for close to the gigabit with this pair but it's not even close.Update: I tried again without any surge protectors, and on the same electrical circuit I was able to get 120mbps, and on different circuit breakers I could get a network up as well, although the speed was miserably low at about 1mbps. So without surge protectors the numbers look much better and usage across circuit breakers is possible. But it's still pointless as my WiFi is 200-400mbps. So I'm returning them.
