    Got this unit to replace and older unit to support higher speeds. Plugged it in, connected the cables, and went back to work at a higher speed rating within a few minutes.

    I heard powerline ethernet mentioned as a good alternative to using a wi-fi signal, especially in places such as an apartment complex where many wi-fi signals are being broadcast. Keep in mind that powerline ethernet will not work in every house, but for houses that are wired properly, it's almost just as good as a hard-wired connection. I have used mine for over a month and have had zero issues. Great product, especially with Actiontec's not so great reputation.

    I also purchased the Actiontec 500 Mbps Powerline Home Theater Network Adapter Kit White PWR511K01. Read my review there as well. Both work flawlessly and I'm getting great networked speeds to my wife's computer and my Samsung Blu-Ray and HDTV (around 44 Mbps from Internet). The four port hub made it a cinch to not only connect the Blu-Ray player and HDTV, but I also still have two ports open for future expansion. No more tedious routing of cables through the house. I have very old wiring in my house, which was a concern too, but everything so far is working beautifully.

    The power line adapter is simple to use. It's basically plug and play. It's fast and reliable - moreso than my router (which is probably a whole other issue).

    It works but I still have connection issues. I was told it was due to having my office in a basement. The reception may never be perfect. I probably will buy in the near future a 6 antenna booster. From Best Buy, of course. they take care of their customers. I am confident of their knowledge and service.

    This product has doubled my connection speed for my ps3/4. Connection has been constant and stable (as stable as Comcast can be) since I've purchased this product about three months ago. I had to change where I initially had it plugged in because connection was coming up yellow. Found an outlet that lit green and its been constant 50mbps down/ 5mbps up

    Have had this for about a month now, and have had ZERO issues with it. Super easy to install and get working. I had to buy this after switching from cable to DirecTv. I originally had my cable into the living room TV and the router/modem in the same location. While I could have just over utilized my wifi for the devices around the TV, I decided to move the modem/router upstairs and install this downstairs. I still get blazing fast internet at the Smart TV/PS4/Apple TV/DirecTv box connected to it.

    The adapter works just as advertised and does average the speeds they boast. The only drawback is that you cannot use more then one kit in your house, you can use the 4 port hub, but its hard to find separably.

    After trying an add-on wireless solution, which wouldn't attach to my Apple Extreme base unit, I went back to Best Buy and found a different associate who know what he was talking about. He worked in the Apple section. He recommended this unit, which was consistent with the Sony Rep's advice. I don't think now that any wireless repeater has the stead throughput for 4K video. Plus the receiving unit has 4 inputs so I can plug my laptop into the hardwire connection, too.

    MOCA adapters are great solutions when you don't have the wire in the walls to get network where it needs to be. So simple to setup and it either works or it doesn't. Just make sure to not plug it into a surge protector! And if you have any music amps, plug them into one to keep line noise out. This protect offers really fast speeds.

    I recently moved to a home where running internet Cat5 cable is very troublesome. After some research I bought this product to minimize the miles of cable and holes I'd have to run in the house to get internet to where I needed it. It works great, but taxes my broadband service (it can handle more than my router can deliver). Originally, I thought I could place one unit at my router and the others around the house. I since discovered that these are paired devices. You can run 128 devices in a home, but each connection needs a sender and a receiver. No matter, i made it work. Great price, great equipment (but sketchy directions) and plug and play setup. Worth your time if you don't want miles of cable scattered across your home.

    When I went to the store I intended to by a usb extender for my TV , well after talking the gentleman in the store he took me to another section and went over the product I ended up buying. I went home had it hooked up in lease than five minutes and it has brought the internet to my TV with no problems at all, now I stream movies from netflex and it is the best thing I have bought for the internet. Great product and works just like they say it will.

    Easy to set up, just plug and play, and easy to use. No software to download, nothing to install just plug into the wall outlet and plug into your router. I have the base unit and the end unit on two separate floors and thus far I have had zero problems with them staying connected and working.
