I bought these to see if they would be an improvement on my Netgear 500Mbps (my study only gets ~40Mbps, where my router pumps out 78 Mbps) and I never saw any improvement.
Having said that, this is a good price for plugs that have worked flawlessly.

Heat. Have been looking for a cost effective gigabit set for a while - want to put my 'super'hub into modem mode, run the connection through these plugs to my nighthawk router (which is placed for best overall wireless signal coverage in the house), then use a set of TP link adapters to go from the router to various rooms (office & game room)....it's that or I take tools to the walls and start laying cables all over the place

you'd better take tools to the walls if you want 'gigabit' speeds

Can anyone advise me here please. I need something like this to distribute wifi from the router downstairs to upstairs and the far end of the house. Am I right that I would need another device to send out a wifi signal at the other end if I used this product?

what do you think? you know the answer from your post, but it seems you need some reassurance that these don't magically beam Wi-Fi at the other end.

In a word, yes. You plug in one next to your router and connect an Ethernet cable, then the other at the other end, giving you an Ethernet port. I have a separate 5ghz access point plugged in at other end which emits a second wifi signal and acts as a 4 port hub

@scotia2 not liking your tone there... sounding a bit nasty. Not everyone is tech smart so there will inevitably be silly sounding questions.
Opening post
- I own a pair of these and they are fantastic after a few months still.
- They also come with 2 Ethernet cables in the box.
