Tenda AV1000 Powerline Adapter Kit with Gigabit Ports, WiFi Powerline Extender, Plug and Play, for HD/3D/4K Video Streaming and Gaming (PH3)

perfect for fixing wifi without running a long cable through your house

I already have a pair of these at another location and they work very well at that location. I bought these to replace a pair of D-Link powerline adapters (10/100) that I had for a few years that were starting to cut my internet connection constantly so they needed to be replaced and fast due to my remote work/office commitments. I plugged them in and my internet worked right away which was great BUT after performing a speedtest, I got speeds of 2.41 Mbps download and 23.44 Mbps upload. They are rated at 1 Gig speeds but as many reviewers are not aware, the speed depends on the electrical circuit wiring in your home. I can guarantee you that these powerline adapters are not sharing the same breaker nor electrical wiring thus the poor performance numbers. When connecting a CATe cable directly to my router, I get speeds of 91.61 Mbps download and 24.05 Mbps upload. So far, internet is good even at the low speed but if performance does not ramp up in the coming weeks, these adapters are going back as my D-Link adapters were producing much better numbers (20 Mbps) than these Tenda's. I rated them a 4 star due to past performance experience.Update: I changed electrical outlet and got speeds of 36.09 Mbps download and 23.94 Mbps upload. Case closed

Good Value , worked well

Very good Powerline network adapters that perform very well, especially if your home is not wired for networking. I was not able to get as high an internet speed as I would if the cable was connected directly to my router, but overall a decent speed. The speed varies depending on how many network adapters you have in your setup. I was able to use these adapters for streaming services as well as security cameras monitoring with no issues. Also, be sure that you connect the adapter directly to an electrical outlet and not through a surge power strip because the electronics inside the strip will have an affect on internet speeds and can also cause signal drop-out. Setup is simple and easy. Powerline network adapters will work on any outlet in the house on the same circuit, generally any outlet in the house that is on the same electrical panel.

It would take a lot of pre-purchase research to realize that this product doesn't work if the two plugs aren't on the same circuit. Honestly, if the two plugs were on the same circuit, they would have to be really close to one another. For example our house has 20 breakers. So this product would only be effective in roughly 1/20th of the house? That's stupid.Here is my story. I tried to install the one plug in my home office and the other in my son's bedroom. It didn't work. Neither my son (computer expert) or me (I'm been in techology for 30 years) couldn't get it to work. After much searching, I learned that the two plugs have to be on the same circuit. I'll let you guess where all of the plugs that are on the "home office" circuit are located. They are located in the home office. So this adapter would only work inside the room. That's really stupid.

I ordered this tenda 1000 to extend my wifi over the electric line, but it would only connect within 50 feet of the router. Beyond that it was useless.I was using a tenda p200 for years that finally gave up the ghost and couldn't find another p200 to replace it. Sorrowfully this newer version doesn't have the range ability of the older one. I returned it and will look elsewhere for an extender.

This works great for what they are designed to do. But you do need some understand basic home wiring to yield the best performance.These adapters will provide the maximum speed if these are plugged into outlets on the same circuit, which means both outlets are fed power by the same single breaker in your service panel.If that's not possible, then they will provide the second-best speed making sure the outlets are at least on the same phase in your panel. Generally this means both outlet circuits will have a breaker on either the left-side bus or the right-side bus in the panel.Last option, which will be the slowest, will be plugging these into outlets that are different phases. So generally speaking, one breaker is on the left and one breaker is on the right inside the service panel.Based on where I needed these, I had to make use of the last option putting these on different phases. That has still provided a consistent connection at 40mbs up/down speeds which was much, much better than the equivalent WiFi signal.One final note, with increased interference you will see more issues. So if you are in a mulit-family dwelling or apartment complex, you may see slower speeds than a single family residence.
