Works okay but slow
I have a device in my garage that’s too far from the nearest wireless access point in my house. I purchased this so that I could provide WiFi to my garage to connect smart devices there. It was super easy to setup, and has been reliable over the past half a year. However, maybe it’s because of my electrical power wiring, but the most bandwidth I’ve seen running multiple speed tests is about 20 mbps down and about 2 mbps up. My ISP provides 1 gbps down and up. And I get that speed when hardwired directly to the router. So it’s a pretty steep bandwidth drop but is enough to operate a smart lock and some MyQ garage door cameras.

Didn't Work in our House
Our cable internet provider says our signal should be at least 500 Mbps down, and currently a wired connection measures in the low 600’s. Wi-Fi on the other side of the house drops to about 330 Mbps. Powerline Wi-Fi extenders have been recommended by folks who should know on online forums to which we belong, so we hoped this extender would provide a good signal throughout the house, including some places where we don’t have one.However, with the adapter plugged into a port on the router, the extender barely produced 30 Mbps when plugged into an outlet on the same electrical circuit. This is good enough to stream 4K video, but no useable signal was present when we plugged into an outlet where we needed it, so we returned the device for a refund. My husband fiddled with it for a week or so, but it just didn’t work in our house.Perhaps the poor performance is due to the way our house is wired. It was built in 1989 when houses were wired room by room, with outlets and lighting fixtures on the same circuit. Or maybe there is some other reason.As a sidebar I can report that powerline Wi-Fi is compatible with X-10 home automation, as all our X-10 devices continued to work. X-10 is an older home automation protocol which wouldn’t be installed today, but since our system works just fine there is no need to replace it. Or maybe the reason there was no interference between the two systems is because the Wi-Fi signal was so weak. Strange that our house wiring supports an old automation protocol but not a new Wi-Fi system.

Made a big difference in our WiFi
This past year we moved to a more remote part of town and even with fiber optic WiFi, we were having a problem with buffering and needing to reboot the system. My son purchased this and it has helped the problem. The signal strength is so much stronger throughout the house. We do a lot of streaming and the speed is noticeably better. It was well worth every penny

WPS would not work so had to configure manually using TP-Link computer app
I am keeping the device, now that it's working, but was not without tech support "pain" and a return of one unit. The first unit essentially would not function after attempting WPS emulation. Even after factory reset, it would not show up in WiFi. I returned and tried again with another unit. The WPS would still not work, and my router does have WPS. The process worked, exactly as the "Unify your Wi-Fi Network via WPS" instruction, and I got all green lights. Except, it didn't work. OK, I downloaded the iPhone app, and tried to configure manually, but that option does not exist on the phone app. I downloaded the tpPLC Utility for Mac. The utility is not confirmed by Apple, so you get a warning that it won't run due to possible malware. I stopped there. I then went down the path of tech support with TP-link directly, and did get a helpful tech-support guy. He pointed me back to (only) the computer utility for manual configuration. He said go ahead and authorize the tpPLC Utility in Settings and allow it to run. (Settings, security and privacy, Allow Apps downloaded... and select Run for the tpPLC utility). While not complicated, this is required or the utility won't run. Once the utility is running, it DID find the satellite Wi-FI unit, and it did allow me to just change the SSID and password to be identical to the parent router, and the unit now functions. If you've read this far, you probably can do the same thing, and so I'm writing this review for "you". But my experience is most people will just "quit" before they get to this point, thus I can only give a 3 star review. It seems it will work for me now, but the process was painful and required hours of my time to figure out.

Works if you are on the same circuit
I'll tell you two things. 1 this sending and receiving components in these devices are absolutely crap. I bought this to replace a no name Tenda av1000 unit to also provide WiFi not just Ethernet in my location.1 it worked fine within my house. I set it up in my bedroom which is on a different breaker than the sending unit. It worked fine I did not have any issues although I did not do anything other than test the Wi-Fi.The moment I moved it to the remote location I bought this for it was unable to connect to the sending unit. I reset it reapplied settings over and over again, verified the firmware was up to date, and did everything over again. No dice.Chatted with TPLink. They told me if I had a sub panel that it wouldn't work (I do, it still hooks into the main). So the Chinese Tenda PH6 works but this won't because "they have different technology" per TP-Link.Moral of the story. It's fine if it's local but considering all the other negative reviews I wouldn't trust it unless you have new wiring in your house. Buy the Tenda and just get a travel router.
