IT WORKS!!! NETGEAR - Powerline 1000
I moved into a small apartment in my mother's garage about 150' feet from the main house. The WiFi signal was super weak. I bought the Powerline 1000 just hoping it would work. It works like a champ. The only setup is plugging one box near the router and the other box near your computer or device you want to use. plug the ethernet cables in and your done. You do not have to share the same breaker, just the same service (breaker box). This product works.

Great Powerline Adapter
At first I was a bit skeptical because you see all the reviews and some people say there great and others just trash them. Since I’m working from home now I’ve moved my office to the basement. And if you all know basements...they are bad for WiFi connections. It doesn’t matter how fast your bandwidth is, what service company you use, or how new your home is. If you have a dead spot in your house nothing can fix that in my opinion. I have to say this option works wonders. No more drop Zoom calls, spotty calls that keep breaking up and everything works fantastic with direct connection. I’m sure this isn’t the best on the market but it certainly does work wonders in my house. Plus the price was great opposed to jumping directly with a more expensive option. Would highly recommend trying.

Excellent for Connectivity
Bought this because, unfortunately, my home office is as far from the wifi router as possible. Easy to use, took two minutes to set up, and I'm now hardwired into Verizon FIOS with perfect service. Highly recommend if your wifi signal is weak and you don't mind plugging into an ethernet cable.

Made the difference
My home office is in the back of the house, opposite where the wifi and router are in the den. Air routers proved worthless, so the choice was to run a 200' ethernet cable to the rear of the house, or something I hadn't heard of till recently but network extenders that use the wires in the house to send the signal. Viola! I had signal, and not the 115mbs that comes into the house, but a respectable 25-35mbs, which I suppose would be more had I gone the ethernet cable route, but for work (Covid quarantined working from home) it does just fine.
