Wi-Fi range extender question!

CalebKittFTW · Nov 26, 2015

So my brother doesn't get internet in his part of my house so I was looking into options for that and someone suggested this http://www.bestbuy.com/site/tp-link-wireless-n300-wi-fi-extender-starter-av500-powerline-adapter-kit-white/2080319.p?id=1219528555613&skuId=2080319 I'm really good with computers but when it comes to internet stuff like range extenders in know almost nothing about it. So my question is, Would this give him Wi-Fi? and Can you use two of these on one router?

Yes, most likely. Powerline adapters are a good choice to extend internet in a house but have some limitations. Try it and see if it helps.

Pooneil :

He isn't going to be doing any big DLs or anything just lots of netflix and some online gaming. Would it be good for that?

Possibly. The equipment is meant for that kind of use. But powerline networking may or may not work well in any particular situation. It works best when the adapters are installed on the same electric circuit, which is likely not the case for you. It works OK when the wall jacks share a common hot bar in the breaker box, which may or may not be the case for you. It will be least effective on different legs.

All you can do is try it and see if it is satisfactory. Buy and set up right away. Make use of the manufacturer's after sale "tech" support. If it isn't satisfactory, return it. I always suggest buying the fastest rated adapters you can afford from a local seller with a good return policy.
