Review: It is a good solution if you don't want, or you can't, run ethernet wires. - My internet service is ADSL, which is supplied via a landline, but I live in an apartment which has only a single telephone outlet located near the entrance door, and I wanted to locate my computer at the other end of the living room. I tried to do that using a WiFi router, but then the router interfered with my cordless phone because the base of the cordless phone were too close to the router. I had three options: a) Separate the router from the base of the cordless phone, b) Ditch the cordless phone, c) Run an Ethernet wire or a telephone wire from the telephone outlet located at the entrance door to the other extreme of the living room. I didn't wanted to run new wires, and ditching the cordless phone or the router was a no-no for me so I decided to give powerline adapters a try. My idea was to leave the ADSL modem near the cordless phone base, relocate the WiFi router to my computer table, use the powerline adapters to connect the ADSL modem to my router and then connect my PC to the router using an Ethernet patchcord, thus leaving the WiFi for my smartphone. That way I could leave the cordless phone where it was, while separating the WiFi router from the base of the cordless phone enough to avoid any undesired interference without having to run any new wires, and that is what I did as soon as I got the Powerline kit. In my current setup, between the AC outlets used by the powerline transmitter and receiver, there must be more or less 40 meters of electrical wire. The adapters were able to make a stable link of 197 Mbps between them, which is more than satisfactory to connect an ADSL modem to a WiFi router. Just for the sake of curiosity, I connected my desktop PC directly to one of the powerline adapters and I noticed that the ethernet port of my PC was able to establish a 1000 Mbps connection between the powerline adapter and the PC. That means that the kit comes with Gigalan ports. I then decided to do some tests and I found the following: a) The distance between the AC outlets used to plug the receiver and the transmiter affects the speed between them. The more the distance is, the slowest the connection is. b) To obtain optimum performance from the adapters, you should connect them directly to the AC outlets. They shouldn't be connected to the output of an UPS, AVR, or to a power strip with noise supression. Why? Because an UPS, AVR, and good quality power strips have filtering circuits which will severely degrade the signal produced by the powerline adapters causing a poor link between them or no link at all. This is very very important to take into account when using powerline adapters. c) The manufacturer recommends that the powerline adapters should be used in the same electrical circuit, same phase, same wire, same everything, in other words, between outlets controlled by the same circuit breaker; but I tested them plugging them between outlets connected by diferent circuit breakers and even different phases, and they still were able to stablish a link. The worst speed I got was when I connected them using two different circuits located at opposite phases, but even in that case I got a 27 Mbps link which is still workable. Seems that the key to success here is to plug them directly into the AC outlets. d) The highest speed I was able to get from the adapters was 480 Mbps, when a plugged them into the same AC outlet. Of course that was just a test because there is no sense in use the adapters that way. Again, the farther I went with the adapters, the slowest the link I got. e) Each powerline adapter has three indicators. There is one named "PL" which lits when the adapters have stablished a link. The user manual doesn't say a word about this, but the PL indicator lits either green or orange. Green means that the adapter was able to make a link of more than 100 Mbps, orange means that the link between the adapters is less than 100 Mbps and weak. f) In my case the stability of the connection is very good. No random disconnects. Considering what I bought the adapters for, I'm very pleased with them.
Review: Works great... buy it! - Review: TRENDnet500 Mbps Compact Powerline Ethernet AV Adaptor Kit (TPL-406E2K) First off, this product is a 10 star! Now my story if you care to know why I feel that way. I wanted to connect a desktop computer to my modem / router via Ethernet cable (was tired of the wireless hassles). With that hope, I ordered the TRENDnet 500 adapter kit. When I received the adapters, I first synced them together. Next, using the software on the shipped CD I created a network password for each. Lastly, I plugged one adapter to my modem / router and the other adapter to my desktop computer, both via Ethernet cable. From the start they worked! Was able to get onto Internet without any issues. And Ookla speed test showed 54Mbps DL and 12 UL (ISP provides 50 DL and 10 UL). Just as Trendnet claims... the adapters connect your devices to your router as though they were plugged together with nothing between. And because of the better than expected results, after about a month I ordered another adapter kit. This time, I connected the adapters to a Roku box and a Sony 3D Blue Ray Player. Again... everything working perfect! This time I synced each new adapter to the adapter that was plugged into the modem / router (rather than to each other). For context, my house was built in 2009 (age of house may impact product results) and my ISP is Xfinity Comcast (cable... not DSL). In addition, the distance from my modem / router to each device is approximately (again, distance across power lines may impact results)... Roku Box 35 feet Desktop Computer 20 feet 3D Blue Ray Player 15 feet I have had all four adapters now for only about three months. But in that short time, I have not lost Internet connection one time. And the speed tests on my desktop range from 45-55 Mbps DL and 8-12 Mbps UL. And all streaming on Roku Box and Sony 3D Blue Ray Player is in HD (Netflix, Hulu, desertcart). Lastly, because of the negative reviews I did an unscientific test to stress the adapters. Simultaneously, I steamed HD content on the Roku and Sony 3D Blue Ray Player and turned on the vacuum and hair dryer... then went to my desktop to run a speed test. Ookla results were 45Mbps DL and 10Mbps UL! Case closed... for me these adapters are worth twice their price. They have made me and my entire family happy campers (no more fighting about bandwidth / wireless connectivity issues). With the desktop and streaming devices all hardwired, our tablets and phones can now connect wirelessly without any hassles. Thank you Trendnet!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ok first you all need to understand 500 Mbps = 62.5 MBps
*by J***D on April 29, 2013*

Got it? That's why a 100MBps port makes perfect sense on these things. Now, for the actual product. Fantastic! I am getting great connections on most of them. There are some limits on the distance, but I think the key thing is they need to make it more PROMINENT that other everyday electrical stuff interferes with these. Like CFLs, which I thought everyone had been using for years - well everyone tech enough to be using these. Also, things like refridgerators and fans.... The point is these are things everyone is going to have they should let you know that there is no way you're going to get 62MBps... But I am getting 25MB on one and 40MB on another. I have 4 installed. And it certainly does better than wireless to get past obstructions in your house. I'm running one at the back of my main router connected to the wireless router. This one is in the center of the house, which means getting reception in the front and back or outside is very bad. So I used these to place another router at the front and back of the house that I'm using as access points. Works fantastic. And to top it all off I have one in a detached workshop that is about 100 feet behind my house! It only gets 10 MBps and that is from the one at the back of the house. I haven't used it to actually connect to anything yet though so I don't know if this will get me back to the router, I don't know if they piggyback like that yet. Overall, great product for when wireless just won't get you there and you don't have the option to run wired connections. And I'd give 5 stars if they were a little bit more forthcoming with the interference. When I turn on my garage or kitchen lights, both CFL arrays, my speed drops by 10% to 30%. Which after reading the manual I understand is normal, but would have liked to have known that before hand to look into other options. Although I still haven't found another alternative, it would have made me feel better to know before hand.
