## Questions & Answers

**Q: You need 2 of these to have them work?? And if i only have 1 can i use it as a WiFi extender? or i need the 2**
A: To use it as wifi extender you need at least two. The first one must be connected to your router by cable and plugged into a near by power socket. The second is to be connected to your device (computer or other devices) by a short cable and plugged into a near by power socket. The power lines serve as network for this type of wifi.

**Q: Would you please provide the model number?**
A: I was shipped model PL9677-B1.

**Q: Is it plug and play or does it require configuration?**
A: Plug and play, no config  needed.

**Q: I am trying to add another device. will this model work with my current asoka pluglink eth=500 model #pl9671-a2.**
A: I was shipped model PL9677-B1 and it did not work with my PL9671-A2. I have scoured over the ASOK website and they have no information about compatibility of different units.

    Asoka ETH500
  

*by W***E on Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2012*

I got this device to add another computer to my home network.  Currently I am using several Asoka 9650s, and they have worked flawlessly.  The ETH500 boasts a much higher Mbps rate so I decided to give it a try.  Just for fun, I ran a speed test on one of the computers currently using the 9650.  It produced a rate of 10.21 Mbps.  I installed the new ETH500 and ran the test again.  The result was 22.35 Mbps.  (My ATT Uverse connection is for 24 Mbps)  This may wind up costing me some money as the temptation now is to replace all the old models with the new PlugLink.Before to going to the PlugLinks, we experienced regular loss of connection issues with our wireless router.  In the two years since adding the PlugLinks, these problems have disappeared completely.  The ETH500 is an excellent product!

    Good product - lost connectivity after a day - then OK after a reset
  

*by S***L on Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2012*

This product works pretty well and is easy to setup, although I can't seem to get 500Mbs over my power lines (my house is only 20 yrs old so it should be better).  I did have an issue where it lost its configuration after a day.  I reset the devices and it has now been up for a few days with no issues.  I would suggest this product if you can get a good price.

### ⭐⭐ 2.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    They absolutely suck.
  

*by D***E on Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2015*

I bought three units with the idea of hooking one to the cable modem and having two to access via power line connections out to the internet. Only one would work with the attached unit and internet speeds where dismal. This is on a cable modem where I routinely get >120MBS wired download speeds. I went onto the Asoka website and asked for help. I got absolutely no response. Just pitiful product and support. I Finally solved my problem with a couple of TP Link wireless A/C/G/N PCI express cards. I'm able to get 120MBS download speeds via A/C wireless standard. Save your money and stay away from the Asoka products. They absolutely suck.
