The PG-9172PT-KIT adds a built-in pass-through AC outlet on each adapter if you don't want to “lose\" a plug.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWill it work in older Canadian homes?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n  In many cases, yes. G.hn is designed for noisy and mixed-quality wiring, but actual speeds depend on wiring condition, distance between outlets, and what's plugged into the same circuits.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIs this better than a Wi-Fi extender?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n  Wi-Fi extenders repeat wireless signals and can add latency or cut throughput. A G.hn powerline kit uses a wired path over electrical wiring, which is often more stable for streaming and gaming between floors or through dense construction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Comtrend","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45853303046335,"sku":"PG-9172-KIT","price":145.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0410\/6262\/9541\/files\/PG-9172KIT.png?v=1784063769","url":"https:\/\/www.simplycontrolled.ca\/products\/kit-1200mbps-g-hn-powerline-ethernet-adapter","provider":"Simply Controlled","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
