Question: the first Powerline adapter is hard wired from the modem to the Powerline adapter  then plug in the second Powerline adapter can it be used as a wireless extender or does it have to be hard wired
Document: This product really works it increased my internet speed to my PS3, my DVD player and my TV. I just hard wired the adapter from my modem to the Ethernet adapter plugged it into the wall outlet and then plugged in the 2nd adapter in my room which is about 50ft away then hard wired my PS3, TV and my DVD player. I can now watch HD movies without any problems or slow downs
Set up is easy, just like specified in the instructions.Step 1: Connect the the Powerline Adapter to your router with an Ethernet cable.Step 2: Plug the Powerline Adapter into a nearby electrical outlet.Step 3: Connect another Powerline Adapter into another electrical outlet.Step 4: Connect devices to the second Adapter.You have to remember that the first and the second adapter have to be connected to the same phase in your home.
I added this powerline adapters to extend my wireless network from the 2nd floor to an infrequently used LG streaming blueray player located in the corner of the basement. I have used a number of wireless bridges & network extenders in the past with mixed success. This was the first time trying a powerline adapter.The biggest challenge for me was finding a clear outlet without a surge protector. Set-up was a breeze.
I got this for my sister's home where her internet modem is setup in the basement of her house and she needed a wired hookup for her Chinese Cable Box which did not recognize wireless on her first floor. I had two options, I could either drill a hole in the floor and run a cable up through the ceiling, or I could try this contraption. I'm glad I went this route first. it was extremely easy to use and the cable box recognized the internet service immediately.
This product provided the right solution to my problem and is working exactly as advertised. My cable modem is located in an area of the house that enables about 80% excellent wi-fi connection, however for the remaining 20% where I was getting weaker wi-fi reception I decided that instead of getting a range extender, a wired solution was even better. So I got this Actiontec 4-Port Hub and now I'm getting speeds in the 50mbps range where I hardly had any connection.
It is also capable of supporting fairly fast backups. No, it is not gigabit speeds, but it is still faster than most people's ISP connection and so provides a very good extender to areas that your Wireless will not reach or places where you need a wired connection and cannot run new cables.
I have tried a few different Network Adaptors, and although they all work well, this one has a few really good things to recommend it. First, of all the items I've used, this one is the smallest - its the only one I've found so far that can actually be used with a single wall socket - all the others I've used are too bulky and always cover the second socket!The other great feature is simply consistency. I hooked these up several weeks ago, and then forgot they were there.
This little device is working great to extend wireless capability to a porch. It would be difficult to extend wireless there otherwise, in this large house where I am already hard put to use wireless on the second floor since the phone service comes into the basement where I keep my main computer. However, this porch does have an electrical outlet, and that's all that's necessary. Well, plus this adaptor. And I'm in business.
The Actiontec Powerline Network Adapter works right out of the box by simply hooking it up to the Ethernet port of my existing modem port and plugging the power to a wall outlet. There are no specific settings nor configuration required.I also have an existing network of the WD powerline Ethernet adapters which has been discontinued. This network adapter would be a great replacement and provide reliable connections over wireless networks.Highly recommended
I needed something that would give me signal to my detached garage. The standard wireless modem/router from my internet service provider barely reached my garage at times. It was frustrating trying to connect to music services like pandora while working in the garage. It was either purchasing a wireless router with greater signal strength or going with a powerline adapter. I had already shelled out about 100 bucks on the modem/router required by my isp. Didn't wanna spend 150+ for another piece of equipment.
Answer: Let's see if I completely understand your question.  The base powerline adapter is connected directly to your modem, all other remote powerline adapters are connected over your home powerlines to the base adapter.  You could put your wireless router on a remote powerline adapter and it would be like you were hardwired to your modem.  That is exactly what I have in my home.  I put a wireless router upstairs for better coverage of the entire house.  My incoming modem is in the basement.  Is that what you would like to do?
