Rank #4 in Best Powerline Adapter 2026: The Name Is Six Times the Speed
TP-Link PG2400PKIT G.hn 2400 Passthrough Powerline Adapter Kit, 784g
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The TP-Link G.hn 2400 kit costs £79.99 and is rated 4.3 stars from 5,151 ratings, with two passthrough adapters and two Ethernet cables in the box.
It takes fourth because it is the newest standard with a published 300 metre range, and because its own buyer describes the real process — trying sockets until one reached almost 500Mbps — that no listing in this market admits to.
How those 5,151 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.3 stars.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Work faster and more stable than AV1000, however is bigger. Web interface is good.”
Verified purchase“Does the job. Had to try it in a few different sockets around the house, but finally found one that gives me almost 500mb throughput, which is slightly more than I was expecting. Don't buy these (or any others tbh) and expect to get a gig, it won't happen, it doesn't work like that.”
