Honestly, if you don't know how something works, stay quiet and don't confuse others or read the description before you share your knowledge. Some might think you're an expert or something :disappointed:
It uses wired connection, no wifi connectivity over this particular kit is possible. These are a brilliant idea if for example your router is away from your pc and you want a stable, wired connection.

These DO NOT give you wifi.

I've got 4 of these running in my house and never had a problem with them. Good price.

I'd wait for the first comment deriding the lack of gigabit ports but as I'm using one of these myself (and they are extremely reliable) I may have to wait a long while... :smiley:

Can someone explain to me the advantage of using these?
Is this instead of connecting over wireless, you can plug 1 upstairs, 1 downstairs, and connect via ethernet?
Does interference play much of a part?

this is wireless without the need for wires. plug one into your router, the other where you want in your house and that unit will give you wifi. so get a couple of these and you should have wifi in all of your house.

If you can't run a CAT cable between your PC/Router then these are preferred over WiFi option.
These use the powerline to transfer connection over high frequency on the electric cables.
These TP-Link devices are based on Qualcomm Atheros AR1500/AR7400 chipset.
Some users may experience regular or infrequent drop outs and reconnections on the Qualcomm based products.
ive got a devolo unit but getting additional units are more expensive so might by these as buying additional units is more cheaper.

Fair enough, i think i understand, however i'd point out that they don't give wifi, they give you an ethernet port to plug into.
Im more curious at how much their connection speed can deteriorate.
If i place it on the other side of the house, would they be similar speeds to a wifi connection?

My personal recommendation is on devices based on Broadcom chipsets.
Such as the ZyXEL PLA5206KIT based on Broadcom's BCM60333 chipset
