Customer Ratings & Reviews

We were having problems with our home internet/wifi, and the tech support guy at the company recommended getting a powerline adaptor. He explained that plugs into the wall and uses the wiring in your house to extend the wired internet connection (DSL in our case) to another part of the house, effectively creating another wired connection and good wifi signal. We decided to pay a bit extra for the version with an extra outlet. This turned out to be a good idea, as the device uses one outlet and partially covers the other outlet of the pair (a standard 2-prong will fit, but nothing larger). It turned out we also needed to plug a wifi router into this device (not the fault of the manufacturer or BestBuy, but something I wish the tech support guy would have told us). Fortunately, we had an old one we weren't using, so plugged it in. We figured out that since it's a separate wifi connection, our devices needed to have the login added so they can access whichever signal is best depending on where we are in the house. The device instructions could have been more helpful on this point, but we got it figured out and it's made a definite improvement in our wifi connection throughout the house.

its not bad kind of expensive and bulky but it does its job

Sinple setup, works great. Used to route internet to my smart TV. No more buffering!

I read other reveiws about these Powerline adapters and liked what I read. I do not like the idea of data floating around in the airwaves. Everything I read says hardwired systems are more secure. That was the reason for my choice along with not having to run hundreds of feet of ethernet cable throughout my home. I am happy I would buy again.

The speed is decent and this was a lot easier than running Ethernet cable.

I have used NETGEAR Powerlines for around 15+ years. Recently, upgraded to a new ISP with faster speeds and upgraded to the Powerline 2000--I couldn't be happier. The computer in my office now has very fast internet and network access...the only thing slowing down the signal is the age of the electrical wiring in the house. Find Netgear easy to use and the only wish they had made the top of the units a bit shorter, so they wouldn't cover both plugs.

I got this so i would stop lagging on some of the video games i play and it works fantastically

I was a little worried about how well this would work out, from reading a lot of reviews, but I think this is just one of those things you have to simply try out in your house since everyone's circumstances are different. For me, this worked perfectly for getting my son's XBox setup with a 100% reliable internet connection. Way better than wireless for us. Yes it's expensive but worth it to no longer have complaints about lag when he's playing multiplayer.

Followed the instructions and linked the home office computer across the house with the router in the living room. After making sure all the cables were fully inserted I had a link and network access. No noticeable drop in bandwidth. Interestingly, the nighthawk app doesn't detect adapters but treats it just like a hardline connection. Now that I see how easy it is to use I might buy another set for the Xbox in my bedroom instead of relying on n the wifi.

I love this product. Thank you to the Best Buy employee who lead me to these. Eliminated the need for me to run cables all across the wall or move my tv where I didn’t want it. Just plug these into one outlet where your router is and then one where the modem is and works seemlessly! They also make them so you don’t loose a power outlet, you can plug anything into the product that is plugged into the wall. Genious idea!

This product was easy to set up. It performed exactly as intended. We always had sketchy WiFi transmission from the modem to the farthest part of the house. With the move to working from home this became an issue. Within minutes of bringing this into the house, it was set up and delivering high quality, high speed data to the new home office. Been using it a month and still operating as well. No problems at all. I have already recommended it to friends and family.

this is the best for houses! my modem is 2 rooms over my computer and I always had either extremely poor signal or the mess of the long lan cable, with this all was solve I got a good connection and no mess, and best of all I can move it around the same circuit of plugs. I recommend this to anyone who have problems with signals or really don't want a extra cable around the room.

A little pricey, but does its job more than well. Your mileage will vary depending on the quality of your house's power wiring, but for me its a great compromise between the convenience of WIFI and the stability of ethernet. Would totally recommend if you need a more stable internet connection but aren't willing to route wires through all of your walls.

Easy to install. Excellent signal. I have had no issues at all. Very happy with it.

Being forced to work from home required me to look for solutions to take my laptop off of wifi. I was experiencing extreme lag on Zoom calls, while browsing, and uploading/downloading files. My house hold has ten plus devices connected to Wi-Fi including, solar, external cameras and security system to name a few...a single extender no longer did the trick. I now have my work laptop and ps4 connected with excellent results and no problems for 3 months now!

My home office was not receiving a strong enough wifi signal for me to be productive while working from home. I do a little research, and I find out that BestBuy had just what I needed. So I purchase the Powerline 2000, which were very easy to install, setup and now I'm hardwired with amazing speeds.

This provides an easy way to create a wired network by just using to outlets. It saved us from having to go through the expense and hassle of running cabling over 150 feet. It was simple to install. Once in a while it hangs up so you have to unplug it and plug it back in.

Very fast for sure. I get 100 mbs sometimes a little more. Had to dock a star because the design actually blocks the upper outlet. A two prong plug is all you will get above it. Without the pass through port you cannot connect anything with the standard three prong plug. Absolutely a poor design.

Not going to lie, didn't know what to expect when I purchased especially with the reason the purchase. I bought it because the House I recently bought and moved into did not have an ethernet plug in the area that became the office space. It was extremely easy to set up, and gives the exact amount of internet signal to the office allowing for the computer to then be plugged in via an ethernet plug. Would 100 percent recommend this to a friend. Have had zero issues .

I needed to bring the internet into my detached garage so I stumbled upon this great solution. I chose this because it uses the power lines to transmit and carry the signal to the receiver. It has two Ethernet ports available. I took one and added a wireless access point in the garage and now I'm rocking a continuous 50+mb in the garage which is good enough to stream. If you're looking for a cheap easy alternative solution instead of running 200' of cable then give this product a try.
