## Description

Transform your home network with the Comtrend PG-9172 G.hn Powerline Adapter, the easy way to get fast, reliable internet in any room—without running messy Ethernet cables. Using your existing electrical wiring, this adapter delivers a strong, wired connection that’s ideal for streaming, gaming, video calls, and working from home. With advanced G.hn technology, it reduces interference and improves speed, so you get a smoother experience even in busy apartments, offices, or multi-device households. Setup is a breeze—just plug in two Powerline adapters, and you're instantly connected. No complicated installation or extra wiring needed. Plus, you can expand your network by connecting up to 16 devices within a G.hn Powerline Network. Whether you need better internet for your media setup, gaming console, or home office, the PG-9172 delivers a stable, high-speed connection exactly where you need it.

Review: Incredibly Reliable - If you need a powerline solution look no further. I have this paired with their PoE version on the other end and it works incredibly well. Powerline in general isn't always reliable and to add PoE capabilities, it just makes things tougher. I had initially gone with another brand (which used the more common Homeplug AV2 spec) and had 5-10 drops each day per camera. Determined to find a more reliable solution, I went with Comtrend in order to try the G.hn technology. Its been 2 weeks with zero drops (recording 24x7 x 3 cameras). I have been very impressed with the stability of this technogy. The only thing I would say is that set up can be easy if you just plug them in and use the config button to enable security. Once you attempt to log into the UI to manage the device (which is actually pretty neat because it's configurable like a managed switch) you open yourself up to lots of settings that can easily complicate your installation and drag out the installation time.
Review: Extend Your Network - The Short Story: Great Product! I bought this unit - along with two others from Comtrend that are G.hn but have no WiFi - to extend my home office network into the studio behind our house. Setting up the first two units - both PG-9172's, one as a base and one in my office - was easy and took about 10 minutes. Setting this one up was easy, but more trouble, because I couldn't get it to connect with the base until, located at my router. Tech support responded to my question THE SAME DAY, and told me to reset this unit (WiFi) to factory spec (a matter of holding the Config button for 10-20 seconds), and then to NOT use "security" since I was in a single family home (not an apartment or condo). Did all that; works great. The signal is good enough that my desktop signed onto the Comtrend WiFi (another building and 80 feet away) rather than my base router which is in the room below my office. You can't go wrong with these products or this company.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Adapters work, but know how to reset them if you can't get them to connect or pair.
*by J***. on July 18, 2018*

I bought a kit of these to go with this individual one. One of the two in the kit would not connect to the others, so I had to send the kit back and wait for a replacement. Then when I got that in, the two kit units worked, but then the individual one didn't connect. After having to call the manufacturer twice, each time the first person to answer didn't know a thing about their products, I finally managed to get a more experienced tech to call me. Even he didn't know that the "pairing" button was also the "reset" button, and this is not indicated anywhere in the manual/documentation, nor online. He first thought the power saving button doubled as the reset button. Anyway, after resetting the individual unit, I was able to pair it up with the replacement kit I ordered. That said, the units work well with plenty of speed, but they get HOT! I tried activating the power saving feature, but I can't seem to get it to function. I'll keep working at it though. If the company would have simply mentioned the reset button in the documentation, I could have resolved the connection issue myself. Sure would save their techs a lot of time on the phone!
