Tenda AV1000 Powerline Adapter Kit with Gigabit Ports, Powerline Extender, Plug and Play, for HD/3D/4K Video Streaming and Gaming (PH3)

My wifi has been getting less and less consistent over the years as there were more devices in the house, and the last straw was when the wifi adapter I was using started needing semi-frequent power cycling to keep working at all. I thought I'd give Ethernet over power a shot, and I'm glad I did. I went from pings regularly hitting as high as 50ms across the local network to a perfectly stable 1-3ms at all times. Pages load faster and online games are much more consistent. It took a little testing to find a power outlet that worked (these only work on the same circuit), but once I did it automatically paired up with the upstairs unit just fine. There's no further setup; it functions the same as a normal Ethernet cable once both sides are connected. I fired up iperf, and tested speeds. In my configuration, I was getting 85mbps in one direction and that split into 40mbps when running a bidirectional test, meaning it is not full duplex. This is nowhere close to gigabit, but it's about what my wifi card was getting anyway and it's also sufficient for my internet speed, so I'm pretty happy with it. I did have em hooked up through a power strip though, and my house's wiring is probably crappy so I think a more optimal setup would get better results. Overall, it is cheaper and far more performant to simply buy a 100 foot ethernet cable and run it wherever you need it, but if you can't do that this is an OK alternative.

We just moved into a new home, and we were considering routing ethernet through the walls because the office is far from the wireless router and dropping zoom calls. I was pretty skeptical, but this $40 product allowed us to avoid all that! I did some testing with the powerline adapter to see how well it worked. Some takeaways: * The powerline adapter more than doubled the download speeds! I didn't think the result would be this pronounced, but there was a clear improvement * Surge suppressors have a strong impact on the clarity of the signal if you put the powerline adapter on it. I was skeptical of this as well (it's all copper right?) but it turns out the surge suppressors made it worse than the wifi. * Upload speeds weren't affected in my case. This indicates my upload speeds are more likely throttled by the ISP but thought it was interesting. I would highly recommend this adapter - it's a cheap, easy-to-install solution that could greatly improve your internet speeds. For those who are interested I included my test results below. Download speed results: Original Wireless: 49.5 Mbps With Powerline Adapter: ***122.7 and 129.7 Mbps*** (measured on two different days) Powerline Adapters on a surge suppressor: 12.8 Mbps Upload speed results: Original Wireless: 22.8 Mbps With Powerline Adapter: 23.6 and 23.6 Mbps Powerline Adapters on a surge suppressor: 17.1 Mbps Other notes for those who have made it this far in the review: We live in a 3 br 2-story house Spectrum is our internet provider on a 400 Mbps plan (I know it's more than we need but the next lower plan would barely support one video user) Good luck!

Works perfectly at high enough speed for TV streaming and pairing is simple and quick. As improvements, it would be better to feature a 120V pass through socket and extra ethernet outlet for added convenience.

Very good Powerline network adapters that perform very well, especially if your home is not wired for networking. I was not able to get as high an internet speed as I would if the cable was connected directly to my router, but overall a decent speed. The speed varies depending on how many network adapters you have in your setup. I was able to use these adapters for streaming services as well as security cameras monitoring with no issues. Also, be sure that you connect the adapter directly to an electrical outlet and not through a surge power strip because the electronics inside the strip will have an affect on internet speeds and can also cause signal drop-out. Setup is simple and easy. Powerline network adapters will work on any outlet in the house on the same circuit, generally any outlet in the house that is on the same electrical panel.

I got this product this morning. I set it up (very easy to do). I gave it a few hours and then ran a series of test to compare download and upload speeds. Using the Tenda AV1000 with the Vandesail flat cat 7 Ethernet cable. I ran the speed test 6 times and the best speed I could get with my 1G was 108.13 download and 23.3 upload. The slowest speed I got was 85.03 download and 24.05 upload and that was from 50 feet away from the router. Running the same number of tests using a 50 ft cat7 flat cable from the modem into my laptop the fastest speed I got was 177.73 upload and 30.15 download. The slowest I got 133.27 download and 24.9 download. I would not recommend this product to anyone as it does not deliver what is says it is capable of doing. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS. YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED.

This works ok. I'm aware it works best when the outlets are on the same breaker, but that's pretty unrealistic and kind of defeats the purpose usually. I got this because I prefer not to use WiFi and the speed is sufficient for my usage even though it's nowhere near 1Gbps. My internet connection is only 300Mbps anyway. That being said I've had some weird issues. At one point the speed was really slow (< 1Mbps) and then I discovered I wasn't even on my home network. It must have picked up a signal from a neighbor or something. I was pretty surprised that would happen in my house. It would be more understandable in an apartment. The second weird thing is that after installing the Tenda utility to detect the adapters it shows that my adapter have EU firmware. I live in the US and the product fits a US outlet, so why does it have EU firmware. Tenda's website says the firmware is specific to the hardware version. I could upgrade it to the US firmware, but I don't know if that will brick the device. So now I need to contact Tenda and try to figure out why it says EU firmware.

I already have a pair of these at another location and they work very well at that location. I bought these to replace a pair of D-Link powerline adapters (10/100) that I had for a few years that were starting to cut my internet connection constantly so they needed to be replaced and fast due to my remote work/office commitments. I plugged them in and my internet worked right away which was great BUT after performing a speedtest, I got speeds of 2.41 Mbps download and 23.44 Mbps upload. They are rated at 1 Gig speeds but as many reviewers are not aware, the speed depends on the electrical circuit wiring in your home. I can guarantee you that these powerline adapters are not sharing the same breaker nor electrical wiring thus the poor performance numbers. When connecting a CATe cable directly to my router, I get speeds of 91.61 Mbps download and 24.05 Mbps upload. So far, internet is good even at the low speed but if performance does not ramp up in the coming weeks, these adapters are going back as my D-Link adapters were producing much better numbers (20 Mbps) than these Tenda's. I rated them a 4 star due to past performance experience. Update: I changed electrical outlet and got speeds of 36.09 Mbps download and 23.94 Mbps upload. Case closed

We have fixed internet in our house so 30-40 Mbps is about all we get. We have a bedroom completely at the opposite end of the house from where the router is located. The kids have a play station in that room, which was connected wireless. I performed a speed test on this device multiple times and always got anywhere from 8-10Mbps. I installed the Port adapter per instructions, which was extremely easy and within seconds the green light was lit up on both sides. I reconfigured the play station to connect wired only. Connected with no issues. Performed another speed test through device and immediately I was getting 31-33 Mbps, which was what I was getting at the time directly from the router. I have had this product over a month with no issues. I did not tell the kids about the change for a few days. I later asked the kids did they notice anything different on how there games were playing. They said they knew it was running to them almost twice as fast, but they did not know why. Again great product, easy setup, less than 5 minutes up and running.

Muy buen producto, facil de instalar, solo conectas a la corriente y al modem y el otro en la misma red electrica y obtienes casi el 100% de la velocidad, tengo contratado 80MB/s y recibi 79-75MB/s desde planta baja a planta alta cuando se conecta directamente al contacto, probe conectandolo en un regulador de voltaje donde tengo conectada la PC y pierde mucha señal, por lo que recomiendo sea directo en los contactos.

Using it in an apartment. I personally had bad experiences in the past as to using Powerline adapters to connect to the internet, using AV500 form factor manufactured by TP-LINK about 4 or 5 years ago before I moved to my current home, disconnected randomly at least once or twice a day, had to re-pair the adapters everytime it disconnected, unstable latency and all. So I had some sceptics in my mind to try this product out but ended up doing so as other alternative options would not work in my setups. I was pleasantly surprised because the product gives a very stable performance with reasonable connection speed and latency, that I do not need to look further to connect my rig. The actual item is, well, slightly bulky on the outlet, which is a little annoying but it's ok. The cables that came with the product is rather short and bad quality as one of the cable is already sort of loose and does not connect very well but it's always easy to find another lan cable to connect anyway. Overall Very gud item

Arrived and was simple and easy to set up - just what I needed to add a network connection to home gym in the garage.

perfecto

隣の部屋のコンセント同士でつないだら、期待していた無線と同じくらいの速度が出たので満足です。当初は2部屋隣のコンセントでつないだら速度が約4分の1まで落ちたので、コンセントが離れていたり間にあるコンセントに繋がっている家電が多い人にはおすすめできません。結果として速度は期待通りでしたが、pingが少し悪くなった(6→12)ので完璧ではありません。有線の安定性を求める人、あるいはコンセント同士が近い人、かつ有線LANがどうしても直接引けない人におすすめです。
