### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Yes, this technology works.
  

*by D***D on Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2014*

Bought this being my 3rd one (already had bought the 2 pair kit months ago) to work on my mother's bedroom. So far works very well. As an additional info I have the two secondary ones ( one connected to my pc and the other one to my mother's android tv box) conected on powerstrip outlets (with  surge protection) without any issues.Note: Last night I ran into an strange issue in which the LK light (the one in the middle)  was off on all devices despite all being connected as usual (Obviously ethernet internet was gone because of this). I solved it by putting the main adapter (the one connected to the router) and a second one in 'standby mode' together. -you put these things in stand mode by pressing the reset buton for 2 secs and release it (lights will start blinking constantly).Gave it 4 stars because had another one died after 3 months use.

    50/50 chance you'll love it
  

*by J***B on Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2016*

Its great... if it continues to work.  I bought this as a replacement for a unit that only worked for about six months.  I read other reviews saying similar things, so make sure you get a good price and you'll be very happy if it works but can't say you weren't warned that its life may be short.

    Second Time's The Charm?
  

*by D***M on Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2015*

I'd have given this a 5 except that this is the second one I've had to order.  The first one simply and inexplicably stopped working after a few months.  However when it did work it was seamless.  The new one is still going strong after a month and I'm hoping that my first experience was simply that of having received a defective unit.  The effective speed of my connection increased from a variable 30 to 52 Mbps, to 100 Mbps consistently.  Streaming movies from Netflix, or any of the others I use, no longer pixelate or intermittently hang like they previously would.
