Revainrating 5 out of 5

50% faster speed with reliable connection

Connecting to the internet outside of my living room is something of a shady realm. Wonderful for a split second and then gone. I keep hearing my phone beeping when I'm talking on the WiFi in my bedroom and saying that my call will end soon. My Fire TV in my room is a constant struggle of loading, waiting and my wife asking me if I need to change the batteries in the remote even though I did last week. Sign in to Nexus Link. I've been dealing with powerline adapters for a long time. Found this one and decided to give it a try. Most adapters I've looked at cost over $200 for a pair of adapters. This one cost less than $100, which immediately caught my attention. I have tried to include as many meaningful images as possible. First item out of the box, the instructions are nicely written and have great pictures. It literally took 2 minutes to set up. There is no website to sign up and set up, they connect, sync and use the internet. Very simple and direct. I was excited to see how they would work and the first time I tried to connect them I grinned. You know when you first run a speed test and it jumps to the top speed you're actually paying for? Well, it has, which is something I haven't seen on my Wi-Fi connection in a long time. Sure, the speed dropped back to normal, but it was faster than my Wi-Fi connection, and the best part was knowing it wasn't going to drop out. The first socket I tried was about 30% faster and had less latency. I decided to try other outlets and found one that almost doubled my speed in my back master bedroom. Overall I highly recommend this product. Next on my to-do list is finding a Wi-Fi extender to connect to this adapter and extend my Wi-Fi. I will update my review if/when I find a compatible one.
