TP-LINK 600MBPS Nano Powerline - £19.99 @ Argos
Seems a good price as it looks as if these were £23ish recently.
Available at Currys too same price but if Argos is better...go for it.
My 2 sons are constantly complaining about being disconnected from games etc so hopefully these will do the trick.
Anyone have these can comment whether these are good for gamers with connection to internet issues appreciated.
Anyone wanting it cheaper?
Its £19.99 at Amazon,so i registered with Amazon and took them up on their offer of a free trial of Amazon prime.
Logged into Amazon PrimeNow app added the TP-Link @ £19.99 to my basket plus a can of Old Jamaican Ginger beer @ £0.35...making the total £20.34 (needs to be over £20 for free delivery)
Put FIVENOW in promo code box....changed tip to £0.00 cos i`m a tightwad and got them both for £15.33 delivered.
If FIVENOW does not work try NOWFIVE....Its one of those two.

I have these exact ones and bought them for the same reason you have and can tell you they are really good, I live in a fairly poor area for internet. Because my PS4 was other end of the house to the router I was lucky to get 2mb, with these I get almost the exact same speed as I would being plugged directley into the back of the router (which for me is like 8mb).
I am thinking of buying some more for my computer and TV. Dont forget one needs to be plugged in next to the router so if your 2 sons are on two different consoles you will need a 2nd pack of these. Avoid plugging them into an extension cable as this limits them, they work best plugged directley into the socket which is its only really negative if you struggle for plug space already.

Interface 1*10/100Mbps Ethernet Port
Perhaps TPLink can explain how on earth this can achieve 600Mbps when the interface is capped at 100Mbps?

Yep! I like to post something like this on every one of these threads. Fxck knows how they get away with it. Maybe the chip on the inside has a maximum theoretical throughput of 600Mbps? Maybe they straight up just made it up because it's more than the 500Mbps their competitors were advertising...
Either way these things are pretty good for most uses and WAY better than WiFi if you're in a different room than your router.
Again though as mentioned in every thread it'll depend on the quality of your wiring.

That's why I bought the Netgear PL1000 which has gigabit interface. It was a deal here £24.99 for a pair, much better.

This comes up every time. 600Mbps is the maximum speed of the power line network these can support. The Ethernet port is capped at 100Mbps but that is just a single entry point into the network. Run a few of these in your house and even though each may be passing through 100Mbps, the network could still use up to 600Mbps.

FFS, because, if they made the thruput 100mbps, and you had multiple devices drawing data, the thruput would drop to share the load. Furthermore, you would probably only see 60mbps anyway. There.

Personally, I'd recommend powerline plugs with a pass-through power socket built-in. That way, you can get a powerline plug into a wall-socket along with something plugged into the passthrough part.

Personally I'd go for these D-Link Gigabit ones for only a fiver more: https://www.amazon.co.uk/D-Link-DHP-601AV-PowerLine-Gigabit-Starter/dp/B00PS1BQT0/
