Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Before you consider buying these you need to look into the advantages and disadvantages of Powerline Adapters. I live in a narrow home that is designed to be more spacious vertically with a lot of floors. It is not easy to drill and run cables so I needed another networking solution. Wi-Fi is fine but when I did speed test, I was not happy with the drop in speed or the inconsistent results. I knew before hand that depending on the electric line setup of your home and the distance you are using these from, you would see varying results. I also knew there was a possibility they would not work at all depending on specific features of your home's circuit breaker. Interference caused by certain appliances is also a factor. I was desperate so I took a leap of faith on these. I was very impressed with the results. Not only did these work but I can access nearly all of my bandwidth from any room in the house. Even with my router in the basement and the adapter in the top floor, I saw no more than a 10 percent decrease in speed (at most) during multiple tests. The upload tends to be affected more than the download but not by much. I will be buying another pair of these and I highly recommend them assuming you know that they can work in your home. A lot of the negative reviews here seem unfair. Powerline Adapters are not a universal networking solution and is is a limitation of the technology, not the product. Please verify these will work beforehand or be willing to spend the money to find out if they do.
