Connect garages, barns & neighboring buildings SO EASY!
These are excellent. Just plug them in and it works. Nothing to configure at all.I ran 650 feet of crummy old extension cords from my barn to my camper back in the woods. I was able to not only keep my camper batteries charged but also get the full speed of my DSL service back at the camper by simply plugging one in at both ends of the extension cord. Before this I had used them to connect from the house to the barn. What I discovered was that the one on the barn's sub breaker panel could communicate with both the one on the other end of the 650 feet of old extension cords, as well as the one plugged in at the house on a circuit from the main breaker panel, but the one at the house could not communicate with the one at the camper. So going from a branch circuit on the house main breaker panel through a large breaker and 96 feet of underground 4 guage wire to the barn's sub breaker panel and then through a branch circuit's outlet in the barn and through 650 feet of extension cords to reach the camper was too much for it. No problem though, as I had an underground line from the house to the barn that I previously used for ethernet but at one point repurposed it to use with some security cameras by using these for the house to barn ethernet connection instead. So when I connected the camper, I simply switched some things around and went back to my underground line for the house to barn connection. Everything worked great by plugging one into an outlet in the barn that was on the same circuit the excessive 650 feet of extension cords was plugged into with another one of these plugged in at its other end in the camper. It says not to run it through power stips but there wasnt much choice in the camper.After seeing how well this worked at my camp site, a friend bought a pair to connect his house to his dad's house next door. The two houses share the same utility pole transformer for their electric utility service drop lines. Those two houses have really old wiring that has been hobbled together with modifications here and there over the decades. We found that some circuits especial those with the 60+ year old wiring in either house would pick up interference of some sort and the connection would get something like 3% packet loss pinging the router in one house from the other. Yuck. But we simply spent a while trying different outlets nearest the breaker panels in the two houses until we found a combination that were rock solid. Mind you, this was going from one branch circuit back through the breaker panel and power meter to an overhead line that was routed the opposite direction to a utility pole on the other end of that house, and onward to another utility pole that has the transformer on it. Then from that same utility tranformer, another overhead line that crosses back past that house, hangs on another pole and continues on to the power meter on my friends house, in through his main breaker panel and to a branch circuit with some of the less-anchient wires for the outlet we had selected after some trial and error. After some time trying this or that outlet we finally found a combination that worked incredibly well in spite of the hobbled together pile of crap old wiring encircling the whole property. We ran an extended ping test for an hour and got 0% packet loss with an average ping time of only 3 ms pinging the router in the other house. Ran the same test reverse pinging this house from that one and also got it down to 0% loss with 3 ms average ping times that way as well. Simply changing which outlets its plugged into in the two houses with all that anchient wiring has a huge impact because some outlets would yield around 3% to 5% packet loss and ping times more around 33 or 66 ms.I am confident if you are plugging into two outlets in the same building you will have it working rock solid in seconds on the first try. Going through sub breaker panels in barns and other out buildings or back feeding it through the power meters of two neighboring houses and their shared utility pole transformer can get more tricky. But just keep trying differing choices of outlets in either building, before that long you'll find certain outlets it will connect through excellently. If you are getting any packet loss at all, keep trying other outlets. You'll find certain ones that can tolerate all the hobbled togethrt wiring in between better than other outlets.I think these are actually better than the newer faster ones. You can run your 100 mbps ethernet over these and have rock solid performance over some of the crappiest wiring between buildings that share the same utility pole transformer. The newer 1000 mbps models will have a lot less tolerance for older hobbled together wiring so I would prefer these older models because it will be a more stable comnection. If you are plugging both in within the same building you would probably be alright with the newer faster ones, but these are excellent for using existing electrical power wiring to extend networks to nearby buildings that share the same utility pole transformer.

SPEED TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE !! ... It does not work the way it is supposed to !!
I was very disgusted and dissatisfied with this product. This is a joke .... This product should not be offered at all ... Iwould recommend that AMAZON delists it NOW!! I should have listened to Lisa M. Brennan's review. Just like her, I have a 200Mbps cable connection and I got 2 Mbps with this device. You don't even get what you paid for. I strongly discourage any buyer from getting this. This product is worthless .... Beware !!

OK.
Easy to set up. I can browse the web and even stream Amazon video, but I'm only getting 3.5 Mbps. Downloads are SLOW.
