Answer»

I have been given a pair of tp link 600.powerline adapters. because i was thinking my wi fi wasnt' strong enough. i have a router in one room .
.
and my tv in another room . but i dont know how they work .or what they are supposed to do .can anyone help. please.Instead of this
Router <------------------------------------------------------ long ethernet cable ------------------------------------------------------> TV

You can do this
Put 1 TP link adapter in AC socket as same room as TV and 1 TP link adapter in AC socket as same room as router.
Router <-- short ethernet cable ---> TPlink plug1 <---[house AC wiring --->] TPlink plug2 <-- short ethernet cable ---> TV
I also believe both power points need to be on the same circuit.

personally, I've never had good, reliable service from those sort of adapters, always found it better to get a high quality wireless kit (either modem/router combo or separate router).I have been using them for 5 years with my NAS (DLNA server) and my Samsung smart TV. I can stream 1080p mkv video with no stuttering or pauses.
