Did not work for me.
Placed the remote end of the extender in my workshop. Product brochures show this product basically working anywhere you have electricity in your home. I was on support with their staff, and they ONLY support it if it is on the same physical circuit breaker as the ethernet-cable connected end. Homes just aren't wired that way. The most efficient way to wire a home is to group outlets in a home together on a circuit. Since the purpose of an extender is to extend beyond the range of the existing WIFI, then it would be normal for the extension to be on a different circuit.
Reading Amazon feedback, there are a number of customers that said it worked through multiple breaker boxes for them. For me, this did not work.
My bad that I didn't return this promptly. TP-Link's bad that they do not highlight this lack of support on the package. .
