Tenda AV1000 Powerline Etherne Adapter Kit with Gigabit Ports, Ethernet Over Power, Plug&Play, Power Saving, Power Outlet Passthrough, Ideal for Gaming (PH6)

The device doesn't have wifi so I don't know why that's an option to rate. We live in an older home made in the 70s. The home has been remodeled buy the wiring hasn't been updated. I have had to change out several plugs and have a few more to go. I just wanted to point that out. Now I knew I would not get any speeds close to the theoretical 1000 megabyte speeds. The two devices are on separate breakers and on opposite sides of the house. The first plug we tried, which I have to replace, connected at first but then had trouble connecting to the main device that's connected to the router. So I had to switch plugs and it worked but we have a portable AC plugged in because we are getting a new AC put it. Off of that plug we were getting 20 mbps. So we moved the device again to another plug and now we are getting a steady 50mbps. It is stable and well enough to do gaming for a casual gamer. We had an old network card that only ran on 2.4ghz and had trouble staying connected especially due to the distance from the router. So a 2.4/5ghz network card would not have worked. My daughter is a casual gamer and she loves it. We have 7 people living in our house and both my daughter and I work from home. We both are on the same breaker as our deep freezer, mini fridge, washing machine, arcade machine and me and my laptop with three monitors. So there usually is usually a constant load on the electrical grid. The plug that has the router on the other hand doesn't have a constant load and the room is on its own breaker. I'm not sure if that makes a difference or not. So going in not expecting a lot, old wiring, not being on the same breaker, with a lot of appliances and devices almost constantly going, and the two devices being on opposite sides of the house, I am happy with the product. My daughter's internet has been stable even when everyone is home and her internet speeds have doubled. Again we are getting the theoretical 1000 mbps speed but we are getting a solid 50mbps which is actually more than I hoped for.

These Ethernet-over-Power adapters replaced a mess of mini wifi extenders at my father's house. He has an older brick home in an L shape with very thick walls, and was using 6 mini outlet plug-in wireless extenders (that weren't working very well) to try to extend the signal from the cable modem with wifi at one end of his house to the other end of the house. The mini wifi extenders were weak, and left many dead spots in the house. With this set of extenders, we were able to plug one unit in an electrical outlet near the cable modem and run a LAN cable between them. Then we plugged the other unit into an electrical outlet just past the halfway point of his house. We connected a LAN cable between that extender unit and a full sized wireless router. It worked beautifully, and now he has excellent wifi coverage for the entire house, on his patio, and even in his guest house out back! We originally purchased two sets thinking we might need to use them to get full coverage, but it only took one set, they worked really well!

I am on a AT&T 300 Mbit Broadband fiber optic, the main AT&T modem/router is upstairs in the master bedroom, I now have a another PC+TV downstairs in the living room but there is no outlet so in the interim I have had to endure my Wi-Fi that I keep losing every so often for reasons unknown but it is as strong as the wired connection upstairs, if I go by what the Ookla Speedtest and the others tests tell me.Because of the losing connectivity at the worse moments I decided to go the Powerline route since it was going to be cheaper than asking AT&T to come make me an outlet and then go through the ordeal of them changing something on my account. Now, as an educated consumer I read some tests and they were all negative by the way but I figured, how bad can it really be, right? well ... VERY BAD.I am talking that I barely get to 65 Mbps... last test today perhaps half an hour before installing the Powerlines, my Wi-Fi test in Ookla Speedtest was 278 Mbps. How is this possible? I am going to go try to talk to support and see if they can help but this means that all of the other test were true and not bogus.Sad day for Powerline devices for sure.The setup is easy but I wonder if those with the 5 stars have done speed testing or perhaps they don't care but with the speeds I am getting I am afraid to use a VPN for fear of going back to dial-up speeds.Update 07/06/2022 ...I am normally a procrastinator and even though I got authorized for a return I wanted to give it more time and more times than not, I end up keeping the product and figuring a use for it. Not this device, I can't stress enough that THIS particular model really does a poor job. Now we have switch from AT&T fiber optic to Comcast 600Mbps Coaxial and when it wants to work, I can't go faster than 4.2Mbps, the it looses parity 2 to 3 times a day, sometimes it works for 48 straight and every time it does kick it (pairing with the upstairs device) it disconnects my wifi (I have set the metrics to Wifi 1 and LAN 99 so the priority is for the WiFi). Incredible how the Wifi runs at 500+ Mbps but the Powerline Devices can't get to 5 Mbps.So again... your miles may vary folks but I would spend the money on something else.
