NETGEAR - Powerline 1000 Network Extender - White

Modem and router in another room and I could not route cat5 easily due to vaulted ceiling. This kit has a transceiver side you plug into an electrical socket near the router. Plug it into the router and then near the electrical socket near the device you need connectivity instant internet connection. That easy !

Bought this topic a network issue with my xbox one and power line extender actually gave me much faster speeds.

The network extender allowed me to get internet access in a room where wireless was not working too well. I am absolutely pleased with the ease of installation and performance!

i hooked up the PL1000 to the router upstairs and then plugged the other end to the tv/home theater setup. I then plugged that into a GS308 -8 port Gigabit switch. From the switch I used short Cat6 or Cat7 cables to run to Cable-box / apple TV/ receiver/PS4 for hard-line. Works great.

My home wi-fi doesn't quite reach the edge of my house, particularly my theater room. I tried using a wi-fi extender but it didn't really work, so I went with these. I have 300Mbps internet and I'm able to get a solid 120Mbps where I have the receiver installed. It's not bad and that's more than fast enough for gaming, video streaming, etc. My issue is that the ping time has increased drastically. It went from 5ms (what I get when I'm in range of my wi-fi) all the way up to 150ms. That means that Netflix has to really buffer before it can start streaming, gaming is downright impossible too. I will probably keep these simply because it works good enough for my NAS storage unit. I had a 5 port gigabit ethernet switch hooked up to this so that my PS4, Xbox One, Apple TV, and NAS could all get fast internet in my home theater room. Now I'm running a grouping of ethernet wires through my wall to get to my consoles, my Apple TV is able to use my wi-fi connection just fine. It could all be due to the wiring in my house as well. It's a little older so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. I will likely replace this whole setup with a series of wi-fi extenders throughout my house once I have enough funding. Until then, this works OK.

How in the world does this not have a full 5 star rating for all the reviews! This product is super easy and required nothing from me but the energy to walk upstairs and plug it in the 2nd socket. I opened the box read the instructions which were short and to the point. I plugged one in the plug behind my router/modem, and then connected to the router/modem. All the lights were green and suggested in the instructions. Walked upstairs plugged the other into the other plug and connected to my NVR security system. BAMMMM!!! worked without any other energy from me other than plugging into the plug. All I can say is WOW!!! I have not done a speed test on it but I will say I am getting full connection and fast playback from my NVR security system as when I tested directly connecting to the router during my NVR system test prior to full install. I did not have this before with the wireless setup I had even with a gigabit router. Also people that say these are high compared to others are just talking :). Compare this price to another Gigabit Powerline Adapter and you will see it is priced in the same ballpark.

I have a 2.4/5GHz router and was wirelessly strearming Netflix to my TV. I suffered much buffering some nights. Now, with this product, I NEVER have buffering issues and performance is faster getting into and selecting among the many Netflix movies and show. Oh, and very easy to set up and get going.

Biught this product in a recommendation from geek squad and could not be happier. The VOIP phone in our home office sounds and functions the same as when it was tied into the our home network Ethernet. Much cheaper than running the new Ethernet line across the house
