Customers are mixed about the performance of the network interface controller adapter. Some mention that it works well for 100-300 ft apart same circuit wiring, and is not disappointed in its performance. However, others say that it didn't work for them in the US since the outlets were on separate circuit. It would work for a few hours before causing the DSL modem to fail. The Mac utility wouldn't run and the web configuration wouldn' t run. The unit didn' 't fully come back on when the power came back.
"...I had horrible latency issues. Otherwise it worked great for everything else...." Read more

Customers have mixed opinions about the speed of the network interface controller adapter. Some mention that it has great speeds and can stream video with no noticeable lag, while others say that the speeds are drastically slow compared to coaxial. The data rate was horrible, and the signal was so slow that the picture was blurry. They also lose download speed and the powerline speeds dropped from 279 Mbps to 110 Mbps and were unstable.
"...The issue I was having was playing games over wifi. I had horrible latency issues. Otherwise it worked great for everything else...." Read more
"...but not on the same breaker switch, which I've heard slows down the speed dramatically...." Read more
"...This thing works, NO slow down in internet speed for your network, can easily integrate with your existing network (and SSID's) automatically to..." Read more
"...The TP-Link AV1300 solved the problem. The speed is not blazing fast, but will cover a smart hi def TV and security devices...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the value of the network interface controller adapter. Some mention it's top value for money, well worth the purchase, and saves time and money from running network. However, others say that it was a waste of money, not good enough, and not worth the hassle or frustration.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
It was easy to setup as the directions were clear. Once everything was running I plugged in the ethernet from the extender to my PC and now I don't have any lag at all! The wifi network speed from the extender is adequate but not crazy fast by any means. Overall, I find this system to be a good solution for extending wifi.
The pool house used to have two 20A lines, but put in the subpanel a couple years ago. Left the old lines going to an empty outlet box with a flat cover, just in case, and glad I did. Installed an outlet on one of those lines, then the other end (inside the house) installed an outlet as well, right next to the inside panel, then ran a short cable from an empty breaker to that outlet. This gave me about a 40’ electrical line, on a dedicated breaker, with only two outlets on it, one for the adapter and one for the extender. Then I ran a new CAT6 from the router to the adapter, probably 25’ long. With a direct connection to the router and a dedicated circuit with only the two outlets, not super long, the connection is great; I’m getting 250-350Mb on Wi-Fi on my cell phone standing outside the pool house, about the same as I get inside the house.
The first purchase was a refurb and pretty sure it was defective, the adapter kept shutting off after a few minutes. I disabled power saving (enabled by default and not sure why, have to unplug it to exit power saving) and it continued, returned that one, got a new one, and it’s been on, stable, and reliable since plugging it in.
I also initially had trouble getting them on the network by using the buttons, but got on the router UI and went to OneMesh and it showed the device and I was able to easily add it and set it up from there.
It’s cool technology and on short dedicated run works just as well as other equipment, but some minor complaints that resulted in 4 stars:
- The power saving mode and issues with the first device; whole point of mesh is to be available when needed
- The Wi-Fi doesn’t seem to extend as far as other devices; it’s great close by, but move 40’ away and it drops quite a bit
- Other devices are managed through the Tether app but this requires a separate tpPLC app; why a separate app?
- Have to find and download firmware files, can’t search or auto-update/install through the app or web interface
- Both wall units are relatively large, say they need to be installed upright, and the network plug is at the bottom (need clearance)
Again, per the title and I saw others say as well, YMMV (your mileage may vary). Due to a wide range of home wiring and equipment/power consumption, there's not going to be a consistent experience for everybody, just need to try it and see how it works for you. I'll add that I view this as a specialty device with unique use-cases. Running a new CAT6 is going to be easier than running new electrical lines, and using Wi-Fi extenders is going to be way easier than setting this up, but if you have electrical lines that will work, then this may be a good option.
With TP-Link Powerline WiFi extender, I get the download speed between 45 and 50Mbs and the upload speed around 30Mbs in the garage. It is on the same electrical panel but not on the same breaker switch, which I've heard slows down the speed dramatically. The only thing connected to the WiFi extender is the car, so I am not sure how the performance differs if you have multiple devices connected to it at all time.
For my use case, the download speed (45 to 50Mbs) is good enough, and I am quite happy with this WiFi extender.
