Tenda PH3 1000Mbps Powerline Adapter Kit with Single Port/Home Plug AV2 UK Extender for Fast and Stable Network Expansion, UK Plug Version - Pack of 2, White

We have two Virgin Media points at home. One upstairs in my room, the other downstairs. Previously, my parents could enjoy all of their TV services in the living room whilst I was Ethernet connected to the router in my room. In all of their wisdom, Virgin Media decided that their 'new and improved' Tivo box had to be hard wired to the router hub thing. So now it has had to go downstairs. On a 150mbps line I was getting between 1mbps and 30mbps. After they fixed a channel fault this went up to betweem 50mbps and 90mbps. However, the internet kept dropping signal constant. At first, I tried two sets of TP-Link adapters. Neither set worked. They absolutely would not pair up together. These however are brilliant! They are as simple as they claim to be. Literally plug them in, press the button on each one once and voila, you're done. These are so simple and easy to use and they do the job they claim to - unlike other brands. Using these I get anywhere from 100mbps to 135mbps ish. It's a massive improvement. I highly recommend these for anyone who has a desktop stuck in a room away from their internet connection and who use wifi. These are perfect and save having to get your ISP to come and fit extra boxes or to move old ones etc. Excellent value for money and work better than larger brand ones!

After having latency issues using my inconsistent Wi-Fi connection, I was looking to use an Ethernet cable to connect my PC directly to my main router instead. However I hated the idea of wires everywhere around the house so I decided to take a chance on ordering a powerline adapter. After hours of research, I finally went for the "PH3 Gigabit Adapter kit" version, as I didn't need extended wi-fi (I was looking for a single wired connection to my PC only). It's perfect, and I no longer have latency issues. It took seconds to set up. (Literally within a minute, plugged the main adapter and connected it to my router with the provided Ethernet cable, plugged in the second adapter next to it, paired them ... then moved the second adapter to my PC, and connected it with the the provided Ethernet cable. Instant perfect stable internet connection.).Perfect, and I've had no issues after using it solidly for 4 months already.

Super happy with these! I thought it'd take basic setup to synchronise the adapters, but not at all! I plugged the first one in my modem, and the second one straight in my TV in another room, and within seconds both adapters found each other and worked right off the bat. I could stream 4K content without any buffering or issues. My TV WIFI was very unstable and not working great in my house. Now the problem is solved. I only gave 4*, because the speed is slightly below what my router is meant to churn out (~75Mbps). When plugged in my PC (upstairs) for speed testing, I "only" got 50Mbps. I am not that bothered as it is sufficient for my use, and still better than the 26Mbps I was able to get via WIFI. Furthermore, the connection will be more stable than over WIFI. I actually just bought a 2nd set a couple of days later as I now want stable connection in my PC too! So I would definitely recommend them, and for £20, they're a bargain!

Second pair of these I have bought. Super fast, and pair straps gut out of the box. If you have fibre Internet, and want to push data around your home, you can't go wrong with these. Very robust, solid as a rock - never had a drop.

WARNING: The electrical in your house impacts the performance massively. I've had these devices for years, though multiple home moves. Results have varied significantly, sometimes it's even the connection between two specific sockets which is bad. It's rarely down to the devices themselves. If it turns out that your electrical isn't up to snuff, than Powerline Adapters might not be the solution for you. Bought these to replace a pair of constantly misbehaving TP-Link devices which finally gave up the ghost. The more recognised brand isn't always the best. My experience with Tenda was night and day. I knew nothing of the brand when I bought them but I took a chance and it paid off. They are easy to set up, come pre-paired, I have used them for years now with no issues. Tenda have earned themselves a loyal customer in me.

Easy to set up and works well. The bandwidth you receive will depend on the state of your electrical wiring. Both boxes will also need to be on the same circuit obviously! This worked straight out the box and allowed me to install a VOIP phone on the other side of the house from the router. The call quality is absolutely fine. Highly recommend if you line in an old house and can't/don't want to run ethernet cable through it.

The reliability on these was much better than the old TP-Link ones I had, which needed periodic rebooting and would often disconnect randomly as much as 2-3 times a week. For a year, these worked pretty well. After 6 months, about once or twice a month I would get some extreme packet loss but only while playing online games. Any other time, the adapters worked fine. They also gave a better download speed than the TP-Link ones. However, in the past week, I have been getting extreme packet loss all day every day but only when I play games. It has been infuriating. I have tried Firmware updates, factory resets, numerous power cycles, different sockets, everything. It seems something has become corrupted and when the adapters need to deal with large numbers of low-data packets, it can no longer cope. I've sent a message off to their support team, but these adapters have become useless just 20 days after the 1 year warranty ended. Not happy, as I needed this and another pack so that's £100 gone up the swanny.
