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 well and easy to set up. - Bought these to replace my tp link power line adapters due to possible hacker activity news. These were very easy to set up and work really well with my asus wifi7 router which was also used to replace my old tp link router. One of these was used with a smart plug for my Canon laser jet since it isn't used often. The problem that I had with the tp link adapter is when powering up the adapter and the printer, the printer would fail to receive an ip address from my router which would lead to fiddling with the smart plug and tp link adapter. But with these new ones it locks in the ip address immediately and I have access to my printer and its scan function. Very happy with these. Also use another one of these for my solar PV communication and haven't had problems with that either. Highly recommend. I've been able to get speedtest rates of 200-300 mb/sec speeds. More than I need for what I use them for. ## Features - ADAPTERS: Includes two TPL-406E adapters. Two adapters are needed to start a network.

These were very easy to set up and work really well with my asus wifi7 router which was also used to replace my old tp link router. One of these was used with a smart plug for my Canon laser jet since it isn't used often.

More than I need for what I use them for. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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! ## Frequently Bought Together - TRENDnet Powerline 500 AV Nano Adapter Kit, Includes 2 x TPL-406E Adapters, Cross Compatible with Powerline 600-500-200, Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, Vista, XP, Plug & Play Install, White, TPL-406E2K - DbillionDa Cat8 Ethernet Cable, Outdoor&Indoor, 6FT Heavy Duty High Speed 26AWG, 2000Mhz with Gold Plated RJ45 Connector, Weatherproof F/FTP UV Resistant for Router, Modem, PC, Gaming - TRENDnet Powerline 500 AV Nano Adapter Kit with Built-in Outlet, Power Outlet Pass-Through, Includes 2 x TPL-407E Adapters, Plug & Play, Ideal for Smart TVs, Gaming, White, TPL-407E2K --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/436285-trendnet-powerline-500-av-nano-adapter-kit-includes-2-x](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/436285-trendnet-powerline-500-av-nano-adapter-kit-includes-2-x) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-04-30*
