More than happy with these powerline adapters,not only that they do a great job but they have saved a few hundreds of $ from doing all the wiring to achieve the same result.

Had a smart TV (not that smart actually) and could only get intermittent contact with the wireless router, then I accidently came across the knowledge of these devices and thought that wired connection to the router might be better,so after a long pause I got one of these Passthrough adapters. I am only sorry that I hadn't found out about them earlier, I cannot believe the improvement that it has made and even the wireless router access for our laptop is way better now.
Very simple to set up. Good network speed. Works as advertised. The passthrough power feature means you dont lose use of the powerpoint. Does raise questions about security; having ones internet data rebroadcast onto mains power, unsure of the level of inbuilt encryption / security of these systems.
I've heard mixed reviews about these, apparently the performance depends on how old the wiring in your house is and our house is fairly old. But I am not disappointed. I went from 3mbs down and 15mbs up on wifi to our actual plan speed of 40mbs down 20mbs up, With lower ping too. I've seen reviews on Youtube of people with faster internet getting their full speed too.
Have been using this for a little while now and they are very good. Very handy not having cables everywhere. I notice that the connection does drop sometimes but I'm not sure if this is the adapter or just our internet connection
Pros: plug-n-play Cons: a tad on the bulky side
