I've had mine for a couple years and the connection seems to be adequate for what my wife does and generally it seems to be online. It drops every once in a while but for the most part seems to be good. Her computer is on the north side of my house upstairs and the router and other side of the power line adapter is on the south side and down stairs, so it has to travel a pretty good ways to get any connection.
Does she do any gaming? Any idea what causes the drops? I would never game using the range extender for example if I could at all help it. Is the powerline connection worse than just dealing with WiFi where latency and/or packet loss matters?
Too many games to fit in signature....
