I am using several Actiontec Powerline units to connect televisions and computers scattered around my house.  They all work well together and have allowed me to turn off WiFi, which is my preference.  The only thing I would note is that the various LED status lights on the front are rather bright if you are considering having them out in the open rather than behind furniture.

Quite easy to set up and use

I purchased to replace a unit I purchased about 3 1/2 years ago. Replacement was a snap to sync. First starting the smaller remote connected to my router by hitting the button and then starting the sync on this unit .
