## Description

TRENDnet's Powerline 500 AV Nano Adapter Kit, model TPL-406E2K, uses an electrical outlet to create a high speed network. Two adapters are needed to start a network. Connect one adapter to your router and plug another adapter into an outlet on your electrical system for instant high-speed network access. The compact form factor saves space around crowded electrical outlets. Use up to 8 adapters to network devices in different rooms without running new cabling.

Review: Plug-n-Play and work great BUT, you might consider coax - Plug these in and you got an instant ethernet connection. I was able to get between 5MB/sec and 15MB/sec depending on a number of factors. That being said, this was in a condo building with a lot of electrical signal noise so your results may vary. In any case, these tended to be much, much, much more reliable than wifi in our situation. They are very easy to setup and would be FAR easier than trying to get wifi to work in a larger building or perhaps if you live in an apartment or condo where there's TONS of radio interference from other routers. Also good for putting a wifi access point on another floor of your house. BIG THING TO NOTE: You MUST put these on the same "phase" in your electrical box as I believe I read someone else say. This means that to get any decent performance, you want the outlets to be on breakers that are on the same side of the box. Most boxes have two rows of breakers, so if say your outlets are on the left side, you're golden. If the outlets are controlled by breakers on the left and right side - you might have zero to severely degraded performance. YMMV. In my experiments, I did speed tests in the same room (outlet to outlet on the same circuit) and got the same results as living room to office (two different circuits, but same phase). ALL THAT BEING SAID: - YOU MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER COAX adapters. These are adapters that like these, plug into an existing wiring system in your house (cable lines) and are generally faster and less finicky. They are a little more money though. So if you are looking for REALLY good speed on your local area network (say for media streaming from server in your office to the living room), then maybe coax is worth the extra coin. IF you're just expanding internet access or something, then these are good enough. As far as bandwidth, if your internet connection is slower than 50MBit (as advertised) then this will not add any speed penalty for you. Anything higher, it will. Most residences only have 1.5-30Mbit so you'll probably be just fine.
Review: Works surprisingly well, streams HD video - I've never tried Powerline adapters before. Reviews of the first-generation models were all terrible, and I was one of those people who wrote the technology off completely. But fast-forward a few years, and I'm moving into a large apartment with a cable modem in the bedroom and my HDTV in the living room. I can pick up 40 Wi-Fi SSIDs on my laptop, I can't get into the ceiling so I can't do drop cables, and my girlfriend would kill me if I started stringing up cat-5 cable along the walls. I needed something fast, cheap, and largely invisible, and while I was skeptical since this apartment's wiring is so old it still has an honest-to-goodness fuse box, I still figured I'd at least try a Powerline adapter. I settled on the Trendnet brand because they'd gotten some fairly decent reviews on sites like SmallNetBuilder, and seemed pretty fast at least compared to other brands. Installation was simple; basically you plug them both in, press and hold the sync button on the side (I had to do it a few times before I learned how long to hold the button down) on one and then the other, and then wait for them to sync up. Once they do, you're all set! I connected one to my router in the bedroom, and the other to a gigabit switch in the living room, and then plugged all my home theater devices into the switch. AV receiver, Roku, Blu-Ray player, Xbox, they all appeared on the network right away, and voila, Internet access for my entertainment center. Roku does streaming Internet radio, and within minutes I had Pandora playing to my heart's content. The real test, though, was whether I could stream video. I've been using this setup for a couple of weeks now, and let me tell you, Hulu, Netflix, and desertcart Prime all work like a charm. I can stream Bones, Castle, and even Downtown Abbey now in HD with Dolby Digital and I've never had a hiccup. Satisfaction with these really comes down to what you need. The "500 Mbps" claim is a little misleading, because these things only have 10/100 Ethernet and can only connect to your router/switch/Roku at up to 100 Mbps. But like all other Powerline adapters, they're actually slow enough that it doesn't matter; I've read lots of reviews where these "500 Mbps" routers never really work at higher than 50 Mbps in real-world testing. If you're a power user, don't buy these things to connect your workstation and your NAS. But if you're like me, and you have 15 Mbps cable service and want to stream HD video to your Roku, these things may be just what you need.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ They work great!
*by J***S on May 11, 2019*

**5 month update!** These are still working great and I have good news! I was able to use my existing desktop (an iMac) to send my internet connection to the first adapter in my office which is much closer to the breaker and I now have no loss in speed. So morally of the story is to try different outlets if possible if you are seeing a drop in speed like I was. I am even more pleased with these, especially since they are still the cheapest powerline adapters. So let me explain a few things before the review. I live out in the country with a decent internet speed that works well for streaming HD videos on YouTube and Netflix. With the wifi I get about 17Mbps all over my house. Not the fastest but for being pretty far out of town I'll take it. I recently got a garage built right next to my house with a walk way in between the house and the garage and the room with the router is probably 8 feet away but the garage is a metal building so wifi and cell service do not go through the walls into the garage. I like to have parties and such in the garage but with no wifi or decent cell service, streaming music and such takes a planned downloaded playlist. So you can't just decide on a different song or two with out it being a hassle. So I went on the hunt for a solution that wasn’t getting an ethernet line installed into the garage and found powerline adapters. I was a little skeptical with the signal having to go from one end of the house to the breaker box and then all the way back to the garage. I tested the adapters in the house and the speed dropped from 17 Mbps to about 7Mbps. I took them out to the garage and used the closest outlet to the breaker box with an old router I had sitting around to get wifi in the garage and it got me about 7Mbps as well. While the speed did drop it works well and I honestly am happy with it. These were the cheapest adapters I could find and they work well for what I need even though the speed did drop. Streaming music works just fine. Even a video or two works great. Happy I found a solution!
