TP-Link AV1000 Powerline Ethernet Adapter KIT - Gigabit Port, Plug Pair &Play, Ethernet Over Power, Nano Size, Power Saving Mode, Network Adapter (TL-PA7017 KIT)

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!

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.

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.

Here are some shortcuts how to get this to work. I have years experience, free advice is priceless. :-)Let's get the really bad out of the way. There has NOT been a firmware update on these since 2019 when they were released? Jawdrop especially to patch bugs. It earns it 1 star for Tech Support and - 1 star total overall. There is NO reason for this. At. All.My scenario is: My home has a detached garage at the end of my backyard. There was absolutely no scenario to run CAT cable from the house as the main router is in the front of the house. Also no way to use a wireless repeater to extend the signal as it is too far and I have a ton of RF noise around me. I set on Ethernet over power line.Here is the key to get these to work. a) Get familiar with your fuse box. There are 2 sides. Certain outlets are on one "side". Other ones are on the other "side". You have make sure BOTH devices are on outlets on the "same side". WILL NOT WORK if you do not follow this. b) No power strip. Has to be IN the wall jack itself. c) Go DL the tpPLC app from their website, so you can see the connection speed rate. (Mandatory, you need this. Works on Mac and WIN). d) Go to where you ^really^ need to have the ethernet connection at. Plug in. e) Now, go try the other device on the other side, at the other outlet (for me it was my router). The connection was < 30Mbps. Horrific when I am running a Gigabit network and Internet feed. Go to each outlet you can and keep plugging in until you get a strong connection.I finally found an outlet in the house that varies between 450Mbps to 575Mbps. You will not get a steady signal, as power lines are dirty with noise and it will vary along with network traffic. At this speed, it is amazing for me. Never drops out aka no signal. The only down side? The router was not in the room where I got the highest speed, so I had to lay a short Ethernet run between 2 room so I can hookup from the wall jack to the router. For me, better than running Ethernet to the garage. Also the only solution for me.Is it for you? If you have no patience or no patience & no technical skills, or no one to do it for you, probably not.
