TP-Link PG2400PKIT Wired Passthrough G.hn 2400 Powerline Adapter, Faster G.hn Technology, Powerline Network Adapters with 2+2 Gigabit Ethernet Ports, No Configuration Required, Plug and Play,Pack of 2

** UPDATE ** My latest update after a month of use didn't alter my rating, but I have seen some other buyers experienced sudden drop out signals and I did indeed experience that too myself. Upon some researches, I found out that you need to check and update the firmware of the units. This can only be done via the utility software that you need to download from TP LINK website. This is frustrating as the packaging did nothing to mention this nor has an instruction to show how to update firmware. Yes, it's plug and play but I knew that these day an age, all 'connected' device would have the ability to enhance and repair any software faults. This is totally the case. My unit came with the original firmware 1.0 and the latest is 1.0.2 (two version up since its launch late 2022). Apparently they have fixed some problems and to be frank, I've in day three after updating, and there's no drop outs. So far, it's very consistent and the speed is as fast as before. So, before returning the units, check this first. ** At time of writing this review (Feb 2023), this is TP-Link's one and only G.hn Powerline network adapter. There are other brands out there but since I owned and used the previous and older generation TP-Lnk HomePlug AV 1000, I thought I should stick with the brand as it never gave me problem in terms of reliability. For those who haven't had much experience or knowledge about power line network adapter, it's pretty cool if you want to reach to dead spots around your house that even the latest Wifi network can't penetrate (i.e. thick brick walls or even out house or garage), as it's using the power line as if they are network cables. The problem I had with the original AV1000 was speed. While it worked, the speed is at best under 30mbs, and I have a 500mbs fibre broadband (and I do get 480 in the house wired). So that's less than 10% of the speed. I won't expect full speed anyway as my own MESH network can't reach near that inside the house. But having read about the newer standard G.hn (that also replaces HomePlug AV technologies, which they also declare that the old standards will be obsolete and won't be updated as of last year!), so I took the plunge and went with the new PG2400 model instead of the other faster TP-Link HomePlug AV2, since it's reaching the end of life by the sound of it. To my surprise, the speed is almost triple (see speed test in my pictures). Now, I can run livestreams in my office outside of my house, even though it's only 80mbs up and down, but it's more than sufficient for any high quality streams and remote work, as there's only one computer and one smartphone in my small office, unlike my main house, where there are more wireless devices connected at any one time. So this is awesome and well worth upgrade. Despite TP-Link didn't mentioned anything, I believe this is Wave 2 and not the original Wave 1 that has a speed limit of 1200mbs, this has a max theoretical 1500mbs (Wave 2 can go unto 2500!). Anyway, this is an awesome product and save me time to lay network cables (may be faster but a lot of work needed to route the cable from my router, around the house and to my office, on top of all the networking needs to be done in the office!). This is a plug and play solution and that extra power outlet allows me to plug other things on top too! Great stuff.

Easy to set up. I needed a way to get an internet connection to my garden office. WIFI was not strong enough based on the location of the router and the long ethernet cables I ran through the garden was continually getting damaged. This system works well. Admittedly, the electric circuit being extended to the garage through a fuse board and the 30m of armoured cables running to the office have decreased the speed compared to the speeds achieved inside the house. I was concerned that the fuse board in the garage might stop the system working, but in my case it just halved the speed. The 190mbs in the office (from a 500mbs) at the router is more than enough. I have matched it with a travel router (already owned) to give wifi in the office. I was achieving 400mbs on the internal house circuit using the system. So this would make a good solution for a house where wifi is not consistent. Just consider impact if running through extended circuits.

I've been using this power line adapter for almost a month now and it has worked perfectly most of the time. It has eliminated lag from playing online games and my ping is greatly reduced. They were easy to set up just plugged then in and they synced up right away. If you're more technical you can also access the devices seperate control pages using their IP and configure them more if you want to change any settings. But the default should be perfect for most people. The only issue I had, which only ever occured once was the connection stopped work and a red light was flashing on the devices. However unplugging and replugging them in fixed this issue and it has not happened again since. Overall a very good product would highly recommend to anyone looking to get a more stable internet connection if they're far from their router.

Update: after using for a few days, i have just switched back to the old AV600's! The download speed on the new ones cut down to sub 100, still not bad i guess, the issue however is the constant cutting out of the internet and needing to reboot them to get it to run again. Teams calls etc kept cutting out and made them unusable. Really disappointed & will be sending them back. OK, after trying to figure out if these would make any difference i stumped up the cash to find out. To help others in the same boat: I had AV600 plugs that have worked really well for years, but now that the Internet has been upgraded, they could not keep up. When researching, I found there are a few different models/types now, with the G.hn being the newest and supposedly the best, so I opted for the PG2400PKIT G.hn passthrough powerline kit. So I could plug them into the wall sockets where possible to maximise speed. I am in the garden shed via an extension lead, so it's not 'ideal', but it's a real-world use of these devices. AV600 - 65mbps up/down G.hn - 150mbps down & 65mbps down (this seems to be ISP max) Not the 500mbps I get to the house, or the 400mbps the home plugs are reporting their connection speed at but still twice the speed of the AV600's Only been set up for an hour, so can't comment on the longevity yet. 4 star as I was really hoping for more given the rated speeds but still better then AV600's

It excels in reducing latency for gaming and streaming compared to older AV2 standards, though real-world speeds vary by home wiring.

Does not work as
