Completely disappointed

Hello The first reason to buy this cpl was to compensate for a wifi5 connection in ac too risky in the debits due to the distance between the box and the pc. I've been using it for a while now and it's a good idea to check it out. I said to myself I'll take a good brand supposed to be GIGABIT (125mo/sec) "HomePlug AV2" even if it loses a bit because of interferance it will be much better than wifi... eh beh que neni. The average speed of the cpl is 5.5Mo, which is 44Mo less than wifi, so not even 10% of the announced speeds... I bought a wifi router (linksys WRT 3200AC) to replace the wifi of the box. The speed of the wifi ac is now 55mo or 440Mega... The cpl is now perfectly useless I regret my purchase so 0.5* for the misleading publicity and the shameful marketing

        Simple and fast.

        Simple, reliable and easy to install/synchronise with other PLC boxes. No particular problems.

        Excellent, but no user manual

        This product works very well overall, and gives me a fast wired connection (>700 Mbps real) where my wi-fi doesn't, without having to pull a cable. The only downside I find is the lack of detailed instructions meaning you have to contact D-Link customer service for any problems.On installation, these powerline units are plug-and-play and work. After five months of use, I suffered from the PLCs becoming out of sync. After submitting a support ticket, the only way to get them back in sync was to plug both powerline devices into the same power strip and push a paper clip into the "reset" hole on the bottom of the devices for 15 seconds.The fact that you have to put both devices into the same power strip and push for 15 seconds, as well as the direction of the different lights, should have been specified in a manual.Note that the effectiveness of the powerline devices may depend on the quality and age of your electrical circuit. If you think you have a good electrical system, a power strip, a paper clip, and a way to contact customer service in case of problems, I recommend this device.

        simple and reliable

        These two powerline modules worked immediately and the network is stable. I did not want a wifi repeater or cable to connect computers on the upper floor of the house.

        Real plug and play - not real 1000mbs

        These PLC's work with ease, the RJ45 cable supplied with it is a bit short but not too disabling.

        The only negative point is the speed: as I have fibre optic cables, I thought it would be good to get a model that supports 1000mbs.
        When the PC is connected to the box: a speed of 890mbs.
        When the PC is connected to the PLC in the next room: 150mbs

        I know that this is partly due to the electrical wiring but such a loss I did not expect.

        The positive point is a stable connection with an average latency of : 7.750mbs which is correct.

        I didn't want to make holes and run a 20/30 meter rj45 cable...
        To be seen in time.

        Works very well despite an old electrical installation

        I hesitated for a long time to test a PLC because my electrical installation is more than 50 years old and is not the cleanest.
        Disappointed by the wifi repeater which was not stable, I gave a chance to this PLC.
        It's easy to use, just plug it in!
        I am much closer to the speed in my box than through the wifi repeater, and the device is 1000x more stable I have no loss of connection.
        Really for the price I can only recommend it.

        Defective product

        I have been trying to find a solution to my problem, but I have not found one yet, so I have decided to contact the LDLC technical service. The service gave me the telephone number of the D-Link technical service, with whom I repeated the same operations. Conclusion, the PLCs are defective.

        Simple installation, no problems to report

        Bought this a few days ago because the reinforced concrete wall between my PC and my box is causing strong instabilities in Wi-Fi. The installation was Plug & Play, no configuration needed, and it works very well.
        Actual speed: 130 Mbps down / 125 Mbps up; far from 1000 but I think my ISP is the culprit. In any case, my instability problem is solved.
        Some reviews complain about noise, but I didn't hear anything except a barely perceptible hissing sound that lasted a fraction of a second when I plugged in.

        Very good,
        fulfils its role perfectly, the RJ45 cables supplied may be a little short depending on the distance and configuration of your installation

        Nothing to complain about

        Product as described.
        Price within the low range found on the internet.
        I was able to get it on site in Villefranche-sur-Saône in less than a week.
        No problems with commissioning and use.
        Nothing to complain about!

        Perfect!

        Ordered yesterday morning, received today at 10:30am. I plugged in my 2 sockets (one in the living room connects the box, the other in a bedroom connects my PC) and everything worked instantly! I've been using them for a while now, but I'm not sure how long they'll last, so I'm going to use them again.

        on top of the fibre

        I've been looking for a good price/quality ratio and I'm very satisfied with the 120mga down fiber behind a top router. I'm a CPL adapter (10 years old) and I recommend it (if you have a clean installation, of course). I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy a new one, but I'm sure it's a good idea to buy a new one, and I'm sure it's a good idea to buy a new one, and I'm sure it's a good idea to buy a new one.

        I've been using it for 3 weeks now and it's been working fine for a while now, but it's not too bad.

        Perfectly conforming product

        I plugged in the box, then I plugged in the computer and it worked perfectly. Everything was just as I expected, including the delivery.

        Easy to install, or almost...

        First attempt at installation, a D-link on the wall socket, a power strip with Freebox revolution connected via a FreePlug to the powerline socket. The other powerline socket upstairs and my son's PS4 connected to it.
        It works for a while, then the FreePlugs disconnect (but not the DHP-P601)... After several attempts, the same thing happened: I'm at the end of the line, and two teenagers are pulling quite a bit of bandwidth, but this had never happened to me before I plugged in these new PLC sockets.
        I was therefore doubtful about the compatibility between D-Link and FreePlug.
        I then pulled an ethernet cable from my box to another electrical socket and plugged in the "mother" D-Link separately. And there, miracle, no more dissociation of my FreePlugs and no more untimely stops of my Freeplayer in the middle of a movie...
        In short, after several days of headaches, these PLC plugs are doing their job well.

        A CPL that does the job

        Much better than other models used that either don't get reception (large house) or lose connection.
        Here everything works/ Very easy to install model.
        Real (and stable) throughput measured over the long term on a 400mbit line: 220mbits
        Unfortunately a bit expensive.

        I'm very pleased with the service and the quality of the product. I've had to send it to D-link for a diagnosis but this comment will change when I receive the new devices.

        Perfect

        I have been using it to improve my connection to lol (very very unstable ping in wifi) I had 18, now I have between 21 and 24 but no problem, it's stable 99,99% of the time at least! I've been using it for a while now and it's very easy to use, but I can't tell if my connection is better (in terms of speed). This said, I am very satisfied for the moment for my personal use.

        At first happy but ...

        I was very happy when I received my plugs and when I tried them.
        Except that after a few weeks, the plugs started to whistle really loud.

        Since then, the noise is really disturbing... They have become unusable. Move on

        PLC per gig

        These 2 compact, practical wall adapters with socket do the job very well, especially for TV via set-top box. Quick to synchronise, following the clear instructions. You don't even think they're there anymore. Good value for money.

        Gigabit is life!

        I have been using this PLC for a few months now.

        At the beginning I had put it directly from socket to socket (without multi-socket) and I had a great speed (10Mbits in download).

        Then I put it on my new PC which had an APC surge protector, and thanks to my new PC I succeeded in making a totally gigabit connection from my box to my tower, despite the connection to the surge protector and not directly to the wall, I did not have a drop in speed and on the contrary I went up to 16Mbits in download.

        To conclude, from socket to socket, behind a multi-socket / surge protector, with a PC with a 100M or 1G network card, this PLC is still very efficient and at the top!

        Works perfectly well, no need for installation. You can feel the quality of the product.

        Max transfer rate 17 Mb/s. 15 MB/s average.
