1 year and half working only... It's now not working and making a buzzy noise when we plug it...

Very good fast internet

I picked up this TP-Link powerline kit mainly because running Ethernet cables through the house was starting to feel like a DIY project I was not emotionally prepared for. After setting it up and using it for a while, I’d say it’s one of those products that quietly solves a very specific problem really well. Setup really is as simple as advertised. Plug one adapter into a wall socket near your router, connect it with Ethernet, then plug the second one into the room you want internet in. No software drama, no complicated configuration, just instant pairing. That alone already makes it feel like a win. When it works well, the performance is genuinely impressive. I’ve used it for gaming, streaming, and general work, and the connection is stable enough that you stop thinking about it, which is exactly what you want from internet infrastructure. Speeds obviously depend on your home wiring, but in my case it was a noticeable improvement over weak Wi-Fi in distant rooms. The multiple Gigabit ports on the receiver unit are a nice bonus. Being able to plug in a console, TV, or PC directly without needing a separate switch is really convenient, especially in a living room setup. It basically turns one wall socket into a small wired network hub. The passthrough socket is also genuinely useful. Losing a power outlet would’ve been annoying, so having it built in means you’re not sacrificing functionality just to improve your internet. Small detail, big quality of life improvement. That said, powerline adapters are a bit unpredictable by nature. They’re heavily dependent on your home’s electrical wiring, so results can vary room to room. In the best case, it feels almost like proper Ethernet. In less ideal setups, speeds can dip or fluctuate a bit, especially if the circuit is noisy or older. Heat and size are also worth mentioning, these aren’t tiny devices, and they do warm up slightly during heavy use. Nothing alarming, just something to be aware of if you’re plugging them into tight spaces. But overall, they’re a brilliant workaround for poor Wi-Fi coverage or inconvenient router placement. Much easier than drilling, much more stable than Wi-Fi extenders in many cases, and very low effort to get running. Overall, this is a strong solution for improving wired connectivity in awkward parts of the house. Not flawless, but incredibly useful when your home layout and Wi-Fi signal aren’t cooperating.

Bought this to upgrade from my old Netgear ethernet extender that was getting 350-400mbs, my Internet speed is 500mbs. The new TP-Link was only getting 40-50mbs which was a big disappointment for what money it is.

Brought down the speed from 200mbs to 5 mbs and only works if it’s in the next room, different floors doesn’t work
