Q: Will these work in a house with no grounds? None of the outlets in my house have a ground wire.

I encountered this exact situation recently when moving my TV+PS5 to another room in my house and found the particular outlet I needed to use in the new room only had two-prong outlets. I used a very old and simple 3-prong adapter I had lying around to plug in the powerline device and it worked perfectly fine. I haven been using it to play MMO's for years without any issue, and I notice no drop in quality or connection speed playing in the new room with the 2-prong outlet.

Q: Can I add a third device to extend my ethernet to another floor?

I have router on 2nd floor, my PC and NAS on the first. The whole idea was to cover house with wifi and not to run the wire to PC and NAS and it works fine.

Q: If my router supports mimo and link aggregation, can i plug both ethernet ports into my router to increase bandwidth to the powerline network?

No. I tried this, assuming that 2 ports on each end must mean that it was a 1-to-1 mapping with no internal ethernet switch, and it absolutely murdered my LAN with some kind of feedback loop until I unplugged the second one. My assumption was based on the advertised "2 gigabit" speed, but from what I can tell, that number is a complete fabrication; its only relationship to reality is that you can plug 2 devices which each have a gigabit network port into the downstream half of the bridge.

Q: I have a shop 500' from my router but but still share a common electrical panel, will the signal reach that far?

Hi Richard. According to specs on the TP-Link website, the effective range is "300 meters in house". So your 500 feet should be covered OK, but not sure whether the "in house" phrase disqualifies your separate shop building. In theory, since they share a common electrical panel it should be OK (assuming both structures also share the same "main connection", but you might want to verify with a TP-Link support person.
