Reddit reviews TRENDnet Powerline 500 AV Nano Adapter Kit with Built-In Outlet, With Power Outlet Pass-Through, Includes 2 x TPL-407E Adapters, TPL-407E2K, White, AV 500 Pass-Through

Powerline is honestly the best thing in the world. Highly recommend that and I bet you can find a great cyber week sale right now.

Here's an inexpensive two pack that would work great. Never worry about wireless interference again.

Powerline adapters are super clutch. My router is on an opposite side of the my house too so I picked up of these as a work around.

Your best bet would be to get something like this:

Edit: Assuming your apartment only has a single breaker box, and that it is, in fact, a breaker box and not the old bulb fuses, these kinds of things are closest you will get to hardline wiring performance without running a line all through your apartment.

You have to buy each one individually, however I purchased a starter kit which comes with two adapters and two ethernet(3ft.) cables. Ran me about $45 cause I got the ones that have an outside plug on them(pass-through adapters) that way they aren't blocking the port completely. Worth every penny though.

Here's a link to the ones I bought:

This is the one I bought for my girlfriend. She went from constant disconnects on Final Fantasy XIV and unbearable voice quality in Discord to no issues at all.

is there any way i could check? the ones i'm looking at on amazon have an option for a 2 pack and a 1 pack which leads me to believe i can have multiple. i can't be totally sure though.

they're these ones

Most of them support 500mbps or higher. I have a powerline adapter at home. It's like being plugged into the router itself. Now, if you live in a large house and your input is on one side, and your pc is on the other, it might not work as well.

Haha, I try, I try.

Damn, what a bummer. Good luck with the new plugs. I can't give advice on the smart plug I have (it's TP-Link) since I've only had it a couple weeks. But it's been great so far. Also, this dude compiled reviews for a few of the different smart plugs available. Check it out for some solid analysis.

Yeah, definitely consider getting a powerline adapter system. Mine was super cheap, the starter kit was $35 on Amazon. Then just add more adapters. I think you can add up to 8 adapters, but don't quote me on that. I'm not sure which brand is the best if you're running more than one receiver. In any case, would ensure you always have a solid connection on your rigs. Solid investment when you consider the cost of downtime, especially across 4 rigs.

Looks like your automation is great. So your rigs must be constantly powering on and off because the wifi is down? That's frustrating.

What cards are you considering for your 5th rig? And how did you end up getting the 1070tis? Newegg? Or a distributor?

Let me know what all it took to get that many rigs running once your electrician comes by. I'm considering upping from just the one to several and I'm sure I'll need to find an electrical solution for my apartment. The good news is I get free electricity, but I'm not sure the wall plugs could handle me pulling that much juice.

Assuming you don't have an option to run Ethernet, the powerline uni t you get depends how fast you need it. There are different speeds available - how fast is your internet?

For example the NETGEAR PowerLINE 1000 can do up to gigabit speeds, but if you only have a 60-mbit connection you can get something "500" like this TRENDnet module which does up to 100 Mbps.

I suggest buying from a local store if possible. The small additional cost is offset by the ability to easily return if needed because the only way to know if you'll get decent speeds and reliability is to try it out.

Did you know Amazon will donate a portion of every purchase if you shop by going to smile.amazon.com instead? Over $50,000,000 has been raised for charity - all you need to do is change the URL!

What does it say on the device's label?

It's probably a TL-PA4010

You can still get TP-LINK AV500 adapter kits with pass-through on Amazon for around $45: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B010Q29OW6

$40 TRENDnet AV500 kit: https://www.amazon.com/TRENDnet-Powerline-Pass-Through-TPL-407E-TPL-407E2K/dp/B009ZRBXMI

For $55, you could get a pair of AV2 1000 adapters which should also work just fine with your AV500 set: https://www.amazon.com/Tenda-AV1000-Powerline-Pass-through-1000Mbps/dp/B00S0TGYAI

Run a cable with a power line kit. There is always an option to run a cable if you have an outlet near by.

This is your best option

If there's no easy way to connect the ethernet, I recommend a powerline adapter.
