If you want a powerline network extender that works, get this one.
Absolutely brilliant. In the past, I had used TP-LINK products to extend my internet connection over the power lines to my room in the house. No matter which TP-LINK product I used, they all had the same problem... constant disconnects and SLOW speeds. The disconnects would require switching off the mains where the adapter was connected and switching them back on to reestablish a connection. This happened every 15-20 minutes. Their customer service was useless as they blamed in on my house wiring nd basically refused to help any further. So I purchased the Magic 2 starter kit. Plugged in the two adapters and after a few minutes they connected to each other. The manual says three minutes but it wasn't that long. Since then, not a single disconnect and the link speed is 1300 Mbits/Sec. These units use a special communication chip that is specifically designed to transmit data across power lines. Other brands adapt standard ethernet chipsets to work on power lines. The difference is phenomenal. If you want a network extender that actually works, then get this one and pay the extra money... or you can buy a cheaper brand and be frustrated all the time waiting for your internet to work. It's that simple.

Devolo magic 1/2 powerline plugs
These devices are expensive especially if you need several of them. Buying used devices was my only option. I use 3 magic 2 wifi next 2400 where it is needed and magic 1 Lan 1-1 1200 where single Ethernet is enough for example getting our cctv online and a Now TV box in a separate room, so including plug connected to the router I have 6 devices. Notably they are much faster than the previous DLan 1200, 500, 200 mix I had but still nowhere near the advertised speeds, but I didn't expect that. Based on our large house with complex mains wiring I'm happy with devolo magic 1/2 wifi and lan plugs. I've tried another brand on wifi 6 from and they were returned, so large houses, complex wiring then I recommend devolo magic or dlan, with small properties, I guess, you have more choice.

Fantastic product. Highly recommended. Solid, stable connection in old house.
I did not believe the hype and seen some negative reviews. Being in an old house with bad wiring sockets and on the opposite side to the internet hub I wasn't sure this would actually work better than my low signal WIFI. Pros: - I've had this for a few months and never had to reset or re-sync. - Very fast performance (from 26mb/sec to over 116mb/sec - (that's bits not bytes) - Reliable and no need to have WIFI on my desktop. - Nice pass-through design so you can still use the socket - I have not seen any problems with washing machine or microwaves being used (my old WIFI often dropped) Cons; - The setup took about 5-10 minutes (mostly waiting for the flashing lights to be the correct status. - The manual could be a little bigger and easier to read (they have one side with diagrams and the other with multiple languages in a small font. - There are cheaper alternative, but to be honest 'you get what you pay for'

Works as good as any CAT5/6 cabled connection
Tried Powerline adapters when they first came out, and the were quite poor and ropey. These new ones are startlingly good They easily maintain my full broadband speed of 78Mb even though I have a hub attached to the second adapter with 3 PC's, a network drive and several other network devices. Works as good as any CAT5/6 cabled connection.

Quite good
I have said this is not easy to set up - that says as much about my technical proficiency as it does the product - I struggled. I am not convinced it is good value but I am comparing it with a wifi extender that was less than £20. It performs better than my last extender and our wifi is a lot more reliable than before.

A nice piece of kit.
I decided to replace an older tp-link powerline and this seemed to fit the bill for my purposes. Getting it connected and running was pretty straightfoward. Perhaps the 16-digit initial randomised password was a bit cumbersome, but once I had that copied, resetting my devices to the new network name was easy. As ever, you have to give things a few minutes to find each other. The app (android version) is what I can only call clunky. But I finally found everything I needed and when I have a spare rainy afternoon I might even try changing the devolo network name and password to my original network name. That way, if I decide to stick another adapter into the circuit, I should be able to get the beam thing working. I haven't found out if you can turn the LED lights off, which I would like to do. But that rainy afternoon is filling up... It linked in easily with my Netgear Nighthawk RAX80. I haven't played with hidden network names because 2 of my bits of kit are a bit older and won't work with hidden networks, but I think you'll be able to do that if needed. Online registration worked fine and I think I got an additional year warranty for that. Happy with purchase 3 weeks in.
