In this video, we're taking a quick look at the Xiaomi HomePlug, or WiFi-cat. This powerline device can transport internet-signals over your homes electrical wiring, allowing you to easily create Wi-Fi hotspots.

The starter-kit consists out of a Host-device and a sub-device. The host device gets connected to your router over an ethernet cable and is plugged into a nearby electrical socket. This allows you to plug in a sub-device in any other power-socket in your home, which fetches the signal and creates a Wi-Fi hotspot.

This device is particularly helpful if you live in a large home with many wifi dead-spots as it overcomes all the problems you'll face using wifi-repeaters and amplifiers. It sounds pretty complex, but its set-up was actually surprisingly easy.

I have recently installed these in my parents home in The Netherlands, and the Wi-Fi reach of these devices was very impressive. With two sub-devices we were able to cover all three floors and we had strong signal through-out the whole house. -So during my stay, I didn't have to deal with WiFi dead spots any longer!

We have tried it out on several power-outlets throughout the house, on different electricity groups and that all worked perfectly.

I am very much impressed with this product, and so far have had really great experiences with it.

The people over at Gearbest were kind enough to send me this home plug for review in this video.
