I have an extender already, but it’s a cheap one and bandwidth sucks. Any success stories?

Edit: Thanks all for your replies!

        Did you test it? Don’t blindly trust the number on the box. My distrust of Powerline is based on testing different TP-Link sets at different homes; the speed was almost always slower than Wi-Fi.

        I guess there are various factors that can affect this; I’m not an electrician but I assume that the way your home’s power grid is set up might make a difference.

          Yep this has been my experience too. Maybe it works well in some homes, but I generally can’t recommend Powerline.

            Yeah I was disappointed with powerline. I’ve found using MOCA with my coax much more effective.
