Review on 🏠 Transform Your Home Connectivity with Magic 2 WiFi Next - Whole Home Powerline Kit by Jeremy Stephens

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Doesn't quite fit US budget

Big problem with it. Powerline just doesn't work in the average American home. It works with difficulty with switches and not at all with panels. So if the outlets you want to use aren't on the same circuit, it won't work properly or at all. Unfortunately, in almost every home built in the last 40 years, there are very likely to be outlets in different rooms on different circuits, and there doesn't seem to be much point in using powerline to extend your network in the same room. I'd really like this set if it worked: a base unit that you plug in next to the router and connect via ethernet, and the remote unit has two ethernet jacks and a built-in WiFi hotspot; Both devices feature a child-proof pass-through power connector. Really comfortable. if it worked. Unfortunately, this is not the case (for most people).

Pros
  • Sturdy build
Cons
  • Doesn't fit all
