Even if you're close enough to run an Ethernet cable from your router to your home devices, this technology delivers that signal very well faster (and without all those extra cables strung out). I am an avid gamer but also work from home. I needed a reliable and secure connection to every point in my house without running a ton of wires. However, I don't have to install anything. I know it's not the most up to date system, but I live in a place where it's difficult to even get through (because you can't even get a POTS phone) and the satellite internet is just awful and way too limited . I use LTE broadband. Since I'm lucky enough to have unlimited, which actually is unlimited, the nearest tower is in the next state so 3 bars is all I can hope for. I'm getting just over 40Mbps... not too fast so I'll have to make the best of what I have. Powerline network technology is almost lossless. The ping times are the same whether I plug an ethernet cable directly from my LTE broadband router into my computer or plug my router into that powerline adapter and then plug my computer into the other ethernet adapter's adapter. In addition, the network repeats itself. So when you send a Wi-Fi signal from it, it's the same network as the Wi-Fi network coming from the LTE Broadband Router itself (even if you give them different names, which you should do). ). Ethernet connections are also on the same network, so you can connect your Xbox to your computers and laptops (depending on where I am in the house or yard, my laptops, phones or tablets pick up the closest signal, which is from the closest device comes ). However, I will say that any powerline network technology can interfere with LED lights. So if your lights just start to dim in certain rooms, that's a problem. It's possible that something is plugged in too close to one of the adapters. Adapters should also not be connected too tightly. Sensitive electronics such as TVs and computers should be connected to surge protectors, but DO NOT connect these adapters to surge protectors as these extenders may block the Internet signal adapter from transmitting/receiving. Also, I have Ooma for my phones that I use for work. Although Ooma works a bit differently than all other VOIP systems, I believe that they should all be connected to a network filter. At first, phones were interfering with the light until I considered plugging my existing Ooma devices into surge protectors. Even something as simple as plugging your phone into a brick right in the wall (or straight into the built-in USB port if you have all those outlets) can interfere with the network, which may not cause network or phone problems, but you will notice it by blinking LEDs or LEDs that just turn off, especially those used with dimmers.
