Their performance depends on the electrical wiring in your house.
Ironically for me I’ve only managed to make them work on older electrical installations, and even then it was at best 802.11n speeds.
In my current house (newly built 2018), I can’t even get them to handshake. I suspect it’s due to improved electrical standards and better isolation between different circuits internally in the house, but I honestly don’t know.
