I waited a couple weeks after starting to use these before writing this review. They were simple to set up, had them going in less than 5 minutes. Ad caveats: Your experience may differ wildly depending on the quality and electrical noise on the wiring you are traversing. (fans, microwaves, other appliances, etc) This is about MY experience, which is all I can attest to. That being said, these are working absolutely flawlessly for me. I put them in between my router and my ISP handoff, so the only traffic going over them is internet traffic, never my internal network. My isp gives me 100 down, 100 up. Every single time I test connectivity to the internet from my internal network I get 100 down, 100 up. I can't say how fast it would go if it was bridging traffic inside my internal network, but these have made me stop worring about the hardwire (which runs under floors, beneath carpets and up walls) between my garage where the ISP handoff is to the room in my house where my networking is set up. I've tested it with all the usual suspects: microwave, vacuum cleaner, fans, a blender, evan a large UPS unit which backs up my main computers. 100 down. 100 up. I couldn't possibly be happier.

This product stopped working after 2 months. One of the units no longer powers on. After a week going back and forth with their support, I was sent an RMA form that stated I had to send the units to California at my own expense. There was no other option. Shipping from Toronto to California is not cheap and doesn’t make sense since I can by new, better units for that price. Do not buy from Zyxel.

Excellent speeds for what it is. I did 3 tests. On the same floor relatively close to the primary adapter, I got almost 500mpbs. In the basement, I got roughly 125mpbs in multiple tests. On the furthest outlet from the hub, also in the basement, I got 75mpbs. In all tests, I always had the same quality for upload and the pings were excellent with no drops (12-14). This thing can handle 4k streaming and possibly 8k within the proper setup with a relatively close distance on the same floor. If you can't run ethernet or use MoCA coaxial adapters, this is your best solution for a hard-wired connection. MoCA and Powerline are great solutions for freeing up your wireless traffic when you have many devices connecting to your router. Best: Ethernet Better: MoCA Good: G.hn Powerline

Works very well; solid connection from anywhere but WIFI is still faster. Use this if WIFI doesn’t work for you, you won’t be disapointed.

Not what we thought it would be but it does work
