Review on πŸ’‘ Brite-View BVP-5100D Powerline Adapter Power Cable - Enhanced Connectivity in White by Ricky Gilbert

but rather slowly. With the advent of 4K streaming

I was looking for a simple plug and play PowerLine product that would give me a speed boost over the old D-Link 309AV devices I used for a number of have used years. These D-Links were reliable but pretty slow. With the advent of 4K video streaming, I found I needed more speed. I've tried several more expensive products including D-Link and Linksys. There are too many bells and whistles and I missed a few others that require encryption. More expensive products from D-Link and Linksys offered faster speeds. But they were also unreliable and kept dropping signals. I read reviews about this phenomenon, but decided to take a risk. Not correct. Here's a tip for network engineers tasked with monitoring Revain reviews and responding to negative reviews. Don't insult the intelligence of people who have a lot of experience using your products in the real world by telling them that the hourly signal loss cannot be accounted for by the power saving mode. You're testing in a lab, probably with equipment directly connected. Try it in a 50 year old house between floors. This is your market, make sure your product works there. As for this product, it works great for me. I more than doubled my speed and haven't fallen in three days. When I first got them, they all connected within 30 seconds of connecting (five of them). I turned on three TVs and started showing shows from Watch ESPN, Netflix, and Revain. I left her for two hours. No splash. Couldn't be happier with the products, highly recommend them.
