Works great and instantly
Pros: Connected instantly which was very nice, plugged in the side that goes to the router first, then the end that goes to my computer. My house is a three level house, and my router is in the basement. My room is in the opposite corner of the house and on the top floor, so the maximum distance I could get and it worked flawlessly. Tested this vs a straight ethernet cord, and I got the same speeds. My antenna connector on my wifi card built into my motherboard broke or something and stopped connecting to the internet, so I was running off my phones usb hotspot for a long time. The speeds are atleast triple and my phone was a 4G LTE hotspot. My home internet isnt the fastest but I maxed out my download and upload with this so it works great and no lag. Phones 4G LTE Hotspot: Ping: 83 DL: 1.76mb/s UL: 0.10mb/s Powerline Adapter: Ping:23 DL: 5mb/s (Max my internet can do no matter what) UL: 0.75mb/s (Max my internet can do no matter what)
Cons: Ethernet cords for both sides are only 2 feet long
Overall Review: Would definetly buy more if needed for other computers in the house. Cannot be plugged into a power strip, needs to be straight into the wall which can be a pain for some due to the short cords.
Was great, till its not
Pros: Beautiful looking board, amazing on board sound card, was a perfrct board while it was working
Cons: Died while in use, tried multiple psu, reset the mobo battery, and could not get aby response from the motherboard. No lights or response to anything after just 4 days of use
Overall Review: Once they step up their quality control, something I've never had an issue with asus before, I would highly suggest this for any mITX build.
