Plug one into socket.

Plug in ethernet cable.

Little tiny 1's and 0's travel over power lines like magic.

Stay away... Go with MOCA... It uses cable lines instead of power lines. Much more stable and reliable speeds.

I didn't know but they are very susceptible on the placement of your outlet/receptacle. The farther and more "noise" between the adapters, the less bandwidth (internet) you will get.

Do not place them on a surge protector. Speeds will crawl or won't connect.

I guess I lucked out because I get nearly 100% of my advertised DL speed when I'm connected to my powerline adapter via ethernet cable. My modem is downstairs and there are several walls between the 2 adapters. It all comes down to your circuitry so it may be a gamechanger or completely useless. Worth a shot for the price IMO
