TP-LinkAV1000 Powerline Ethernet Adapter KIT - Gigabit Port, Plug Pair &Play, Ethernet Over Power, Nano Size, Power Saving Mode, Network Adapter (TL-PA7017 KIT)

TLDR: WiFi over WiFi was my life, now its Coax over AC. The Difference is 40-400ms(on a good day) to 27ms in ping.WiFi over WiFi was ok had good speeds, even better speeds than over AC(AC capped at 100Mbs), however the 40-400ms ping was atrocious.WiFi over AC was better than WiFi over WiFi as the ping went from 40-400ms down to 36-120ms.(ISP was RF and would randomly drop)Then I got wise and went with a better ISP, 1GBps(800Mbps) internet over Coax.Coax over WiFi was 39-60ms Ping 640dl and 40ul (very playable)and with these it is now a solid 27ms ping.Speed is capped at 100Mbps but its better ping for gaming.Still have the WiFi if I need to download anything, super easy switch.

Awesome! Our 70" samsung TV on wifi routinely dropped out of streaming apps, especially Direct TV's app which also would take forever to load. Our wifi router is literally in the next room on ATT fiber.Install couldnt be easier. Plug one box into the wall outlet, hit the pair button. Walk to the other location and do the same. In two minutes its paired. Connect the included ethernet cable from the router to one of the adaptors, and the other included ethernet cable from the other adaptor to you device. DONE!The TV has performed flawlessly. In fact, the other TVs in the house still on wifi that I used to think work ok now feel extremely slow!

Keep in mind that any powerline adapter is ETHERNET ONLY. You cannot use a powerline adapter to extend your wifi or mesh. This is really good for somebody who really really needs a wired Ethernet connection but is too far from the router and doesn’t want to run a 100 plus foot cable onto the wall/floor and around things with a possible signal loss due to cable length.Disclaimer: Our ISP is coaxial only. We can’t get fiber at our house and cable is the next best option. My review is based on that type of connection.Here’s how it worked for me: I also ordered a couple of cat8 Ethernet cables (overkill maybe but I want the best speed and latency possible at any given time no compromises and the cat8’s were about 5 bucks each so why not go all in?) and this system. They also came with their own Ethernet cables I had no idea they would but the stock ones I’m not using.I was surprised to find that it actually worked on its own without any paring needed. At first I had the router end plugged into the far corner of the living room on its own outlet but that one was too far and the speed was pretty low. I moved it to a busier outlet that was a bit closer to my room from the living room and still managed to get it plugged in on its own and the speed jumped right back up.The other end goes to my console, and while my in-game performance was doing pretty well over wifi, there would be occasional spikes. This seems to have eliminated that but at first when i had it on the far outlet the latency seemed much much worse than wifi.In game latency at first setup jumped from 32 (over wifi) to over 70-80 with this system but then after a few days it came back down. I also do remote play sometimes so this helps a little on the sending end with stability. The consoles NATIVE speed test now shows around 28-36ms ping (I was getting that over wifi too) and about 40 or so in game. Interesting enough my in-game used to stay around 30 or so but those spikes seem to be gone so the extra 8-10 loss in my game doesn’t feel too big for the better stability that I now have. I thought this might just be a server issue but I use the same server as I did before and it’s just a little higher not noticeably.Keep in mind you HAVE to plug both adapters directly into an outlet no matter what for these to be effective. Absolutely no surge protectors or extension cords or none of that.Overall this works good for me, it fixed most of what I needed it to, and provides a wired Ethernet connection without being close to the router as I’m unable to anyway. Speeds remain the same as before though no change.

If you're looking for basic internet browsing needs and Wifi doesn't work due to walls and floors and stuff, just buy this and be done! It works well enough. If you're looking for HIGH SPEED data throughput, however, and have to use any outlet connected to a GFCI-protected line, get wifi instead--this won't cut it. Here's some real numbers:I'm paying for 100 Mbps download / 20 Mbps upload. On my $400 Orbi mesh router wifi system, 8 ft from the router, over wifi, my laptop gets 90 Mbps download / 20 Mbps upload. With this device, I get 6~12 Mbps download and 6~12 Mbps upload, across the same air distance, but probably over 25 ft of wiring. Why? Because this device works poorly on GFCI outlets. The problem is, however, my router has to be in the kitchen because that's where the internet comes in, and the kitchen is all GFCI-protected so you don't get electrocuted around running water. So, this device doesn't work well for me. I need to use a wifi repeater instead.If neither end you are connecting to is GFCI-protected, however, DO buy this, as it appears it will work very well!Note also: it may not work *at all* in a surge protector, as they interfere too. Plug directly into a wall outlet.Powerlinks 2 ft apart, both on GFCI outlet:30~35 Mbps download, 20 Mbps uploadWifi 3 ft from router: 90 Mbs download, 20 Mbs uploadPowerlink Kitchen GFCI outlet to Living Room NON-GFCI-outlet (~15 ft open air, through 2 walls, probably 50 ft of wiring):6~12 Mbps download / 6~12 Mbps upload / 0 Mbps (no connection) if plugged into surge protectorWifi (high-end Orbi router, to laptop at same location--through 2 walls 15 ft away): 70~90 Mbs download, 20 Mbps upload.- as you can see, the GFCI outlet here is killing my signal with the powerlink so I'm buying a wifi repeater instead. I've returned this product and gone with the repeater. I'm now getting a consistent 30~70 Mbps download (usu ~50 Mbps) / 20 Mbps upload at that location when wired to the repeater, which picks up the wifi from the router. This is much better than the powerlink (again, due to the GFCI outlet in the kitchen that is making the powerlink not work well).Powerlink laundry room to living room (probably 100+ ft of wiring):18 Mbps download and 18 Mbps upload- this is impressive, because my mesh router had to bring it up to the laundry room in the first place, so this is actually quite good for it.
