There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Have you ever been frustrated by your "smart" phone's ability to find and connect to the absolute slowest connection available?
Have you installed a new TV only to realize that your new "smart" TV cannot find your wireless rougher because it's too far away? Ever scratch your head wondering how you are going to run miles of cable?
Have you ever installed additional wireless routers in your home or office to increase range, only to find out that the routers are now competing for the same IP address causing data collisions and complete loss of Internet?
Are you tired of that much-maligned spinning circle in the middle of the screen while your media device buffers data?
Are you considering one of those new UHD TVs? (Ultra High Definition) Guess what...Ultra High Definition TVs require massive bandwidth. Your wireless connection won't cut it. You will need to run a Cat6 ethernet cable directly to your router or modem, or just get yourself one of these!
If I've got your attention now, read on...
I have this technology in my home and home/office. It simply works. If you can operate a toaster, you can install this technology. Actually, it's easier than making toast. It's more like plugging your toaster into an outlet.
How did I find this and why am I excited about it? I had a technician in my home to address some complex IP issues. (I have no less than eight wifi routers running simultaneously.) I mentioned that I need Internet access in the barn which is about 1,200 feet from the house. He said that the fix is easy and inexpensive. He pointed me to this product.
No installation manual. No software. Just buy it and start using it as quickly as you can get the shrink wrap off of the box.
Is it fast? Heck yes! 500Mbps+. If 500Mbps means nothing to you, you should know that 300Mbps is considered more than enough for streaming data such as HD videos.
1) Buy this. 2) Open the box. 3) Plug it in. 4) Enjoy a super-fast Internet connection!
First off, this product is a 10 star! Now my story if you care to know why I feel that way.
I wanted to connect a desktop computer to my modem / router via Ethernet cable (was tired of the wireless hassles). With that hope, I ordered the TRENDnet 500 adapter kit.
When I received the adapters, I first synced them together. Next, using the software on the shipped CD I created a network password for each. Lastly, I plugged one adapter to my modem / router and the other adapter to my desktop computer, both via Ethernet cable.
From the start they worked! Was able to get onto Internet without any issues. And Ookla speed test showed 54Mbps DL and 12 UL (ISP provides 50 DL and 10 UL). Just as Trendnet claims... the adapters connect your devices to your router as though they were plugged together with nothing between.
And because of the better than expected results, after about a month I ordered another adapter kit. This time, I connected the adapters to a Roku box and a Sony 3D Blue Ray Player. Again... everything working perfect! This time I synced each new adapter to the adapter that was plugged into the modem / router (rather than to each other).
For context, my house was built in 2009 (age of house may impact product results) and my ISP is Xfinity Comcast (cable... not DSL). In addition, the distance from my modem / router to each device is approximately (again, distance across power lines may impact results)...
Roku Box 35 feet
Desktop Computer 20 feet
3D Blue Ray Player 15 feet
I have had all four adapters now for only about three months. But in that short time, I have not lost Internet connection one time. And the speed tests on my desktop range from 45-55 Mbps DL and 8-12 Mbps UL. And all streaming on Roku Box and Sony 3D Blue Ray Player is in HD (Netflix, Hulu, Amazon).
Lastly, because of the negative reviews I did an unscientific test to stress the adapters. Simultaneously, I steamed HD content on the Roku and Sony 3D Blue Ray Player and turned on the vacuum and hair dryer... then went to my desktop to run a speed test. Ookla results were 45Mbps DL and 10Mbps UL!
Case closed... for me these adapters are worth twice their price. They have made me and my entire family happy campers (no more fighting about bandwidth / wireless connectivity issues). With the desktop and streaming devices all hardwired, our tablets and phones can now connect wirelessly without any hassles. Thank you Trendnet!
Top reviews from other countries
One thing I will say is that it does reduce my internet speed significantly, but it's still fast enough that I don't mind. My internet speed without the device is 180 Mbps and with the device is about 40 Mbps, so there is a 78% reduction is my internet speed. I used fast.com and checked it multiple times.
Overall I would definitely recommend this product.
The shipment arrived quickly ( PRIME reseller)
I decided to try it out and I am over the moon with elation! If this is how all the TRENDnet products function, I think I will be considering them in the future for a lot of my requirements. This purchase has two adapters and two good quality Ethernet cables included.
I use these within our home network. When testing the speed connection I lost a half a megabyte from when I tested directly from my modem, dropping from 62.5mbps, to 62mbps is not even noticeable. My house is approx. 1600 feet (multi-level) and the adapters are located at separate ends of the house. My house was built in the 60's and the electrical panel was updated 12-15 years ago.
Extremely easy to install, no installation software required. This unit is a dream as I have now provided fast connectivity to a previously "dead" coverage in the house.
I am going to start to do video reviews, so that the products I purchase can be demonstrated. I like helping people make the decision that is right for them. Only honest and personal reviews from me.
Only have two issues with it, which aren't major. When I first setup the adapters I had to mess around in the powerline utility on my computer to get them to recognize each other. Also, probably about once or twice a day my connection will drop for five or ten seconds. It comes back up really quick, so it's not a big deal, but kinda sucks when you're in the middle of a game.
Would definitely recommend for people looking for a straight forward solution to getting a connection where your Wi-Fi just can't seem to reach.
