Pros: Plug and play. Getting 100-187Mb/sec. They are two rooms apart and on different circuits in my home. Makes XBMC running on my Zotac nano-PC much more reliable playing content from my NAS versus flakey Wi-Fi. Cons: A bit pricey, which is why I took off one egg. Overall Review: The included application is pretty handy. It allows you to see the installed devices. They don’t tell you that when the devices are in sleep mode, their transfer rate drops to 11Mb/s (according to the app). But that’s not an issue since they are not being used. They are probably just pinging each other. As soon as they wake up, they are back to full speed.

Pros: Easy to install. plug play and run. Nothing else needed very impressed with these gems and may buy more just as an incase. Cons: None Overall Review: Comes with software so i thought i was going to have to use and configure these before deploying them. Nope they just hooked up to each other and ran. Very very impressed with these

Pros: – I get 100Mbps from connecting upstairs to down stairs – Works 10x better then wireless Cons: – This thing is rated for 500Mbps, but it only has a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet connection. – It will drop connection every so often. It reconnects within seconds, so this isn’t a big issue. Overall Review: – You need to play around with plugging it into different power plugs. Even in the same room, on the same circuit, I get different speeds. – Do not plug anything to demanding into this outlet. Avoid connecting power strips to it. It will heat up the box and drop more often. I just plug my router into it. – I have 3 of these set up in my home. Works amazing. Before I could only have my router in the office in the side of the house. This allowed me to move my router to the center of my home. – If you are looking for true 500Mbps, look for the same brand with gigabyte Ethernet connector. Though, you will never truly reach the 500Mbps advertised speeds.

Pros: Has built in AC outlet. Cons: Dismal performance: I bought this to replace Trendnet TPL-307E2K bought from Newegg.com 2/1/13. I expected superior speed since the TPL-407E2K was supposedly capable of 500 Mbps compared to the 200 Mbps of the TPL-307E2K. Instead of superior performance the TPL-407E2K was inferior @ 10 Mbps compared to the TPL-307E2K’s 25 Mbps in the same placement. User’s guide & called Trendnet tech support were consulted. No remedy. I replaced the new TPL-407E2K with the old TPL-307E2K & performance returned to 25 Mbps. Next step RMA with Newegg. Overall Review: I called TRENDnet technical support. To my surprise the only menu option was to select English language. Apparently the same call center (India. Good command of English and only mild accent.) supports for all their products (routers versus powerline adapters, etc). After explaining that the new TPL-407E2K with 500 Mbps specifications was only getting 10 Mbps and that the older TPL-307E2K with 200 Mbps specification was getting 25 Mbps in the exact same placement the call center person promptly read a response blaming my internet connection and home wiring. When I explained again that could not be the problem since the older TPL-307E2K could perform adequately in the exact same placement she read off the same response. It seems TRENDnets technical support consists of a call center supplied with responses blaming environment of the product rather than people trained to help with technical solutions or replacement of defective products.

Pros: Speed Cons: Unreliable, disconnects 1-2 times per day. Overall Review: I would not recommend this product.

Pros: It works Cons: It doesn’t work well. My WiFi speed is faster than this adapter. It’s a shame because neither are close to my Ethernet speed. It also disconnects very frequently. It sucks to be in the middle of a game and disconnect. I have to go to the adapter and restart it to repair the connection. I stopped using this after a month, and went back to my wireless connection. I regret purchasing this.

Overall Review: I really don’t have much to say about the product as it does what it says on the tin. The one thing I do have to say pertains to prolonged periods of no internet connection that while never have interrupted a video stream or my game play is somewhat frustrating as it takes awhile for it to reconnect on its own. This is likely just caused by some sort of interface in the house wiring so it’s an issue I expect you would experience with any power line adapter not this specific model. Download and upload speed for my particular situation are about 25 down and 25 up which compared to being plugged directly into the router is rather low. Ping however is more or less the same between directly plugged into the router and power line access which combined with 25 up and down is significantly better than wifi (and I don’t need a wifi card).
