Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I purchased two of the 2.4 GHz 9dBi antennas. I needed to send high-speed Broadband internet to a family members house who was only capable of receiving DSL. I've had them installed now for a week and I'm beyond pleased with their function. First of all, the setup is super simple. If you get stumped, however, TP-Link has a great tutorial video on their website and YouTube. The main reason for my decision of choosing this product over others was due to a review I read where a user was able to get an excellent signal through woods. In my application, I am transmitting a little over 800' away and mostly through thick woods between our two houses. I am able to reliably get 60%-70% signal with zero reduction data transfer rates. Here are my testing procedures and setup for this system. First of all, I have a Gigabit 1000x40 internet service through Spectrum. Hardline test right off the modem I'm realistically getting 860Mbps-900Mbps. I am using a Netgear Nighthawk R9000 router. As for the CPE link, I do not have ethernet cable ran through my house so on the transmitting end I am supplying a connection between my router and the AP via the TP-Link AV2000 powerline adapter. These are advertised at a theoretical connection speed of 2000Mbs. Realistically I'm getting 436Mbps as you can see from the utility screenshot. When performing a wired internet speed test of the PLA connection I'm getting a download speed of 61Mbps and an upload speed of 40Mbps. On the receiving end, the client antenna had an internet speed check of 61x40. This antenna is connected to another series of Powerline Adapters. This time I chose the TP-Link AV1000 due to its build in WiFi capability. The end WiFi connection speed check is still 61x34 with is very impressive to me. I realize that there is a huge reduction in speed from my connection at 900Mbps but what surprises me is the bottleneck isn't THESE antennas transmitting through the woods. That's the reason for me giving them such an excellent rating. On top of the strong connection from point to point, these antennas also provide WiFi coverage to most all of my 2-acre yard at full signal. I realize they are supposed to be directional antennas, but the signal does propagate outwards. I realize some people might not like the thought of their WiFi signal being within reach of their neighbors, but that's why you use a strong password. I personally like being able to get internet on my phone 500' from my house.
