that's not related to wifi technology at all... totally different technology

also, depends on the current electrical wiring in your house

nice try though

As long as it’s AC and not cheap as hell you should be fine. Make sure your router is AC too. Use 5Ghz only if you are pretty close to your router.

Being on 1 circuit isn't an issue, in fact they suggest it. In my experience they work fine through 2 or 3 phase circuit setup though so I don't quite understand the issue.
The issue is if the lines them self are damaged/degraded or if you plug it in a power bar/ups. Unless your house its like 80+ years old you should be fine.

Try them if they don't work return it. Super simple setup and it beats most wifi easily.

so this is why we have to deal with refurbished items all the time, pathetic.

he said he doesn't want issues. powerline adapters are expensive af compared to a cheap wifi dongle too.

also, next time you need to read the op. he specifically said wifi adapter.

powerline uses diff technology sir (wired), no wifi here

1. If the device doesn't work as stated your entitled to a refund.
2. If he doesn't want issues then wifi is a bad option all together.
Wifi is notorious for having connection issues.
USB is worse then PCI since it has even more power limits.

3.Talking about reading OP yet in other thread you couldn't respect a budget, LOL.
4. There's also power lines with wifi.

keep trying JohnQQmiller.
