However, in most homes, powerline extenders can send a signal about a hundred feet, plenty for people living in an average-sized home. Older homes with complicated wiring may also suffer from reduced range. Plus, the farther the signal has to travel, the less data gets through to the receiver. On the downside though, the data comes out of a wired Ethernet port on most powerline extenders. There aren’t any passwords, software or configuration processes to mess with.
Using a powerline extender couldn’t be simpler: just plug one of the small boxes into an AC next your router and another receiver where you want the data to end up. Our criteria emphasize data throughput, signal range and value – including the device’s price, design and electricity consumption – to whether the extender provides an extra AC outlet to compensate for the one it uses. We’ve used and thoroughly tested the top powerline extenders in real-world conditions to help you pick the best system for your home.
