NetSocket1800 Powerline Adapter, HPAV2 MIMO, Filtered Outlet (2 Pack)

Any powerline adapter you get will be limited to your wiring in the house. It is not the fault of the adapter but, the limitations that it has to deal with.I gave it five stars because they paired easy and one connected to the other.What to know: You really need to be aware of what leg each outlet you are using is connected to. By "leg" I mean the left, or right side of your circuit breaker. For best results with any device, the breaker for both outlets should be on the same side of your breaker box. you will have a left or right side, or a top and bottom. They do not have to be right next to each other but at least on the same side for best results.I had to move some lines around to get mine all on the same side.I purchased 3 units, one by my router, one in the livingroom about 100 or so feet away, one in the bedroom downstairs about 30 feet away from the router.The living room paired, but, the download speed according to my xbox was 10-15 mbps Not great, but, if your wifi repeatedly drops out, or is about the same speed, then this would be a better option.The downstairs bedroom will not pair, but, I was able to connect to the internet at about 20mbps speed. Again, that PC had issues using an external wifi adapter and I got tired of buying them and dealing with it so, for that PC it will be fine.I am disappointed with the speed but, the wiring in my house is 40 yrs old and that plays a part also, even though they are all copper wires.Overall they worked, just not getting the speeds that I hoped for.

This is the 4th set of Powerline adapters I have tested on the same two outlets, about 90' apart, going through two breaker boxes.This one works reliably, and is relatively fast, giving around 150Mbps. It also has a web interface to configure each device. For an unknown brand, the quality seems really good, only time will tell.The other devices I had used on the same outlets were the Extollo which managed up to 300Mbps until one overheated and died, and the Zyxel abd TPlink ones, both of which had poor connections and required proprietary Windows software to configure the devices.

These powerline adaptors are terrible. They do not work. Save time and money and just buy the netgear.

These work well, very simple setup. Unfazed by the numerous power outages we've had.

The unit never connected to each other … found another unit that worked straight from the box

It works very well. And I don't have to run a 100ft cable from down stairs to up stairs. You can have multiple and they all work at the same time

I live in Chicago, which is not the ideal place for getting excellent Wi-Fi coverage (brick houses, plaster walls, lots of neighboring Wi-Fi networks that can cause interference). I have a detached garage, so I was having a tough time getting the Wi-Fi signal from my house to reach out there. I often do projects in the garage during the summer, so this caused all kinds of problems when I would try to stream music or when I tried to connect a Wi-Fi camera to my network to keep an eye on my stuff out there. I even bought a Wi-Fi extender, but if I plugged it in my garage, it did not receive a good enough Wi-Fi connection from my router and would blink red "poor connection" constantly. I was seriously considering burying some Cat6 ethernet cable under my backyard and running it to my garage to hardwire the Wi-Fi extender into the main router.Fortunately, I discovered these. After plugging them in and pairing them, I plugged one in near my router and hardwired it to my router; the other I plugged in my garage and ran an ethernet cable from it to my Wi-Fi extender. The result? I now have a solid Wi-Fi signal in my garage -- five bars all the time! The speed of the extended network is not as good as if I had run an ethernet cable, but that will tend to happen with these units if they are not operating on the same electrical circuit as each other. (I am considering when I have some wiring work done at my home having an electrician add an outlet in my basement that is on the same circuit as my garage just to see if that improves the network speed.)Regardless, rather than digging a trench and burying ethernet cable, I plugged in these two units and had a "hardwired" connection to my Wi-Fi extender in a matter of minutes. Now I can enjoy great coverage in my garage without having to worry about the Wi-Fi signal dropping constantly like it did before.

I have used before. Very good.
