Customers are saying

Customers are pleased with the Powerline 1000 Network Extender's ease of use, performance, and ability to extend the range of their Wi-Fi connection. Many appreciate the straightforward setup and the option to connect devices via Ethernet. However, some customers experienced issues with signal strength and found the price to be a concern. A few users also reported occasional lag, and compatibility problems with certain outlets.

    I personally like this because it gave me a stable connection to download games and music without interruption. It also kept my ping relatively stable as well. Biggest issue I have though is that I can't reach above 4 mbs of download speed. I would try other slots in the room I'm using but with my current setup It won't be possible unless I get a longer Ethernet cable.

    This allows anyone who uses the old "dongles" for internet a much better option. Plug in and go. Wireless internet connection is a breeze with this product.

    I went from a 93mb connection when plugged directly into the router to 25mb when I used it to plug in a machine upstairs. Still better then the 10mb I was getting on wireless though. Might just try running hard cable instead and use this for the TV. To be fair, my house is over 110 years old and the wiring may not be the most recent in the world.

    I generally love Netgear products, but this one disappointed me. Now I say that with the disclaimer that my home electrical has areas that date back to 1965. My guess is in newer homes it works great. So if you have older wiring, your probably going to have poor performance with this tech.
