Hi Adrienne, in most cases, they will work, and are simple to set up. Factors like wiring and distance will influence how much speed you get, as well as the model you choose. I used to use them, as we have a large house. But recently, we upgraded our Internet connection as the Government here is laying fibre to everyone's door. The power over Ethernet was the weakest link. We couldn't take advantage of the entire speed in those situations where we were relying on the power over Ethernet. So we bit the bullet and had cat6 cable installed throughout the house. Now we have a bunch of Airport Extremes connected, which give us 802.11AC Wi-Fi and the full speed of the Internet connection, currently 200 in both directions but going up to 1GB. But if you aren't too worried about speed, they are a really simple solution. And they are getting faster, although I have found their maximums to be very much theoretical.
