TP-Link TL-PA9020PKIT 2-Port Gigabit Passthrough Powerline Starter Kit, Data Transfer Speed Up to 2000 Mbps, Ideal for HD Video Streaming and Online Gaming, No Configuration Required, UK Plug

Bought this as my room was in a WiFi dead zone. Installing and connecting the two adapters was easy and quick, and my connection has improved massively. I'd heard that these adapters can sometimes slow the max speed but I don't seem to have any slowdown (my isp advertizes 65-75mbps and I consistently get 72mbps). The passthrough feature is also great as it keeps the socket free, and I haven't experienced any noise/interference even with a multisocket plugged in. Definitely worth the price.

Just bought a second pair of these, this time from Amazon's only real high street rival, who had them for £75 for one day over the Black Friday weekend. I had tried to get the first pair to work with a Devolo plug but there were problems with set up and reliability so I ditched that idea. The second pair of TP-Links work seamlessly with the first and were easy to set up. Just to confirm they will work across difference household circuits no problem. In my office where I have problems with space (given the size of these plugs), I made up a small extension lead; a plug, a length of good quality 3 core, and a double socket 'end', all from Wilko. The TP-link worked perfectly well connected to the mains via this. However because of the TP-link plug size the second mains socket on the extension end could not be used. I plugged in a three way extension block (you know- a white cube with sockets on three sides) into the Wilko extension and then plugged the TP-link into this. That released the second mains socket on the Wilko extension for use and, surprisingly I thought, the TP-link plug worked just as well. Its a bit Heath-Robinson-ish but its tucked into a cupboard so no eye-sore here. My guess is, if you use extensions without surge circuitry and LEDs etc then you powerline plugs are much more likely to work. I assume if it were plugged straight into a wall (along with any other electrical item) it wouldn't have surge protection..? I have never had any experience of surges, not the electrical sort anyway...

Please read this if you have a BT Smart Home Hub and/or live in an older mansion/apartment block!After reading the positive reviews I went ahead and purchased the AV2000. This is my first time purchasing a powerline kit and I was very excited to finally be able to get a wired connection to our study desktop PC, which is on the other side of the apartment from the router. Setting up the two devices is very easy and done with the touch of two buttons. However, I went through about a week of pulling my hair out because everything worked fine until I connected my Desktop PC to the receiving unit. As soon as I did that the BT Smart Hub lost connection, struggled to reconnect, then lost connection again. I tested connecting my Mac and another laptop and the connection worked and the connection remained constant. It was only when connecting the Desktop PC to the receiving device.I spent hours on forums trying to solve the issue and eventually came upon the solution, so I hope this helps someone else. After pairing both devices and connecting the first to the router and the second to the PC, you need to download the Utility app/program from TP Link's website for your specific device. Install and open it and you should see both devices on the interface, as long as you've paired them correctly. Hover over each and there is an Advanced options button. Click on that and go to "Mode", then make sure "LowerPLC-to-VDSL Interference Mode" is set to off. Do this for both devices. You'll get a warning that this could lower data transfer speed and performance, but after doing this and hitting refresh on the left side of the application, voila, I suddenly had unbroken, consistent connection. We're on the 64Mb plan and I am now getting a constant 57Mbps at my desktop, with 20 ping. I will update this if anything happens but these are now working excellently now that I incorporated this fix.

Very easy to set up and excellent quality of signal transmission. Much better than relying on wireless link.
