Works as advertised!
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.I've had these adapters for over a month and I'm very satisfied with their performance. I was looking for adapters that delieverd a solid internet connection to my PS4 which has notoriously spotty WIFI receivers. Great for playing online multiplayer or co-op games where you need little latency. It does not give me gigabit speeds but I don't think my internet does that anyway. Still pretty fast for what I need as a casual gamer and an alternative to spotty WIFI.

Works!
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This saved me from putting holes in my dry wall and running cat5 through my ceiling. The darn things work! Plugged one in my den directly to my modem and the other one in the guest bedroom to my desktop and boom, instant hard wired connection.

No holes!
||Posted .I recently completed interior painting and installation of wood floors. I needed extend my ethernet to another television without messing up my walls or drilling holes in the floors for more wires. The Netgear Powerline 1200 added Ethernet access by simply plugging in two adapters. I now have excellent streaming for my smart TV.

Excellent Service
Posted .Netgear product has worked well for us. This order replaces our Powerline 200 Mini Adapter. The Powerline 1200 has three prongs, so I had to plug in at outlets I hadn't previously used. The builder installed one outlet upside down/ground at the top. The powerline couldn't be plugged in on top because it's controlled by the wall switch. The other outlet shared the Furman power conditioner so both plugs didn’t fit. I ordered online, received delivery and plugged in same day. What excellent service. Thank you.

Superb for sons Xbox
||Posted .Our home WiFi was a bit lagging I guess, especially for my sons Xbox. We bought it for him as a Xmas present . Not one complaint yet ! No kore resetting the router. Plus he’s a 6th grader and installed it himself.

2 thumbs UP!
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.Easy to set-up! I live in an old house (plaster walls) and even with a WiFi extender speeds were slow (~25Mbps on the 5G band), and slower on the 2G which was the only band that made it to the basement were my backup drive is located. Old house = old wiring (still some knob and tubing lurking about) which, I knew would impact the Powerline. I am getting about 44 Mbps with the Powerline, considerably better than WiFi. Speed/connection is more stable with the Powerline. Backups go faster and for the computer away from the router, downloads are faster using the Powerline vs. WiFi. Very happy with it, much better than drilling holes and snaking an Ethernet cable.

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionWould it be beneficial to have Powerline adapter as well as wifi range extender?We have wifi dead zones in our house. We have a single story home, 2000 sq ft, on 1 acre. The family room and back office are weak wifi signals. Even though family room is adjacent to room where router is located, it typically gets only one bar. I can't utilize iPad / iPhone functionality or AV receiver / smart TV capability, such as streaming movies. I am looking at getting this product to connect to the AV receiver as well as Netgear NETGEAR - Nighthawk AC1900 Dual-Band Gigabit Wi-Fi Range Extender Model: EX7000-100NAS, to help extend the wifi throughout the house. Would both products be needed?
Asked by Iron Chick.
- A:Answer Just get the adapter. The range extender splits your signal. It's a waste of time money and will just frustrate you more. The adapter is an answer to your prayers. Just make sure plug both ends into wall socket NOT surge protector. Hope this helps.

Q: Questionmost homes have circuit breakers. will this work if the powerline adapter are on 2 different section (ex. game room upstairs - family room down stairs?
Asked by abc123.
- A:Answer Most homes have two phase wiring. If they are on the same phase, you will get the best results. You don't want to plug into surge strips, extensions, UPS devices, etc. If you have them on separate phases, they still may work but at reduced transfer rates. From Netgear: Can powerline be used in homes across multiple phases? Yes, but you will either suffer a noticeable loss in performance, or if the signal is too low the units will not be able to communicate.

Q: Questionwould this still work if i plugged it into a power strip?
Asked by andrew.
- A:Answer I first had mine plugged into a power strip and it did not work ... at all. I was going to return the item, when I realized it may not work because of the power strip. Plugged it into the wall outlet and it worked as well as advertised. I'm not an expert, this was just my experience.

Q: QuestionI would like to install IP security camera . can I use this device to provide a network for this camera without obtaining a cabled from my router tanks
Asked by Val.
- A:Answer Yes. Place ethernet cable in slot in your cable modem. Place other end in one of the units and plug it into the electric outlet. Find an electrical outlet near your security camera. Plug second unit into this outlet. Lights should turn green if you have a connection between the two units. Plug the ethernet cable into the second unit and the other end into your camera.
