Customer Ratings & Reviews

My average speed was about 15 mbps on my desktop (wireless), with the adapter in jump to 88 mbps. With my xbox, wireless was about 109 mbps (different location), with the adapter about 230 mbps. Note: my desktop is a different location, my xbox is within the same room where I have the router.

My printer kept losing its wireless connection and my grandson had to keep reestablishing the connection. He suggested these as a way to hard-wire it without having to run an actual line through the attic and put holes in the walls. They work perfectly and I couldn’t be happier with them! It’s nice to know I can now print things without worrying about whether or not the printer will work!

We were having a lot of issues with our wireless signal in our apartment due to the location of our router. Our internet provider recommended purchasing this so we could hard wire our in home electronics. I’ve since purchased 2 sets of these to run our home office internet and our entertainment center. Working from home and streaming our TV shows has never been better.

Fixed latency issues while online gaming. My router is upstairs and my gaming setup is downstairs on wifi i would get fast speeds but it was inconsistent not with this device.

This is an awesome product that allows you to create hardline extensions throughout your house/building using existing electrical wiring. Much cheaper and more efficient and having to create an entire wireless network/hub extension that has less hardlines available. Very easy to set up and secure.

This works fine provided you don’t have to use it in an out-building, where additional sub-panel electrical boxes are in use. I tried using this in our out buildings, ensuring I stayed on the same electrical leg, but it would not work at all. As long as you don’t have to go through any additional sub-panels, it works great.

Easy setup, works great and speed is good. Needed something where wifi signal was weak.

Fast and works well. Easy to set up and use. No problems.

I got this product because I had extremely fast internet service in my house due to my online gaming but my video security system would slow down the WiFi . I had to figure out how to go Ethernet since my modem was in another room and this was the fix for me . I plan on. Buying another one for another room in my house shortly . Great product , I suggest you invest in these .

Works as intended would recommend for gamers that are having WiFi issues

Works perfectly. Easy to install. Once set up, fast and reliable.

Product works surprisingly well. I have the two devices on separate circuits, about 75ft physical distance away, and am getting super reliable, stable data transmission. I intended to use this in conjunction with a Wireless AP that was pretty unreliably meshing, so wanted to do something more "hard wired." It works very well for that situation. HOWEVER, the Best Buy description claims this product has 2 PoE ports. It does NOT. None of the literature included with the product or on Netgear's website state PoE functionality. Just for fun, I connected a few PoE devices and confirmed these are not PoE ports. I'm not deducting any points for this since it's Best Buy's inaccuracy and not the product's. The product works very well and the pass-through outlet was great for the PoE injector I needed to use for the Wireless AP.

Very easy to set up and use, love that there is now 2 extensions for lan cables and a plug so you can use the plug you lose with the adapter.

Was surprised how well this works. And fast too. Easy to set up

Never even knew these existed. Game changer on every level. My brother told me about them and said you'll see the difference. Mind-blown.....

I am very surprised at these units. I had the older single port and needed an additional network connection to a different part of the house. I was surprised that these could see the old and simply extended the network. Plus there are 2 ports. Additional speed and an extra port, makes this a better unit then the older set I had. Although the all work well together.

In all fairness, I can't knock the NETGEAR Powerline 2000 for something that was my responsibility to take a look at. I'll explain. Be sure to take a look at the breakers in your circuit breaker box. If they're anything like ours, they're all rated to 15 amps. Believe it or not, each of these devices -- not both in total -- requires 15 amps to work properly. That is a huge load that you're adding to whatever circuit you have in your house. In comparison, the typical "brick" power supply for a laptop is rated at something in the range of 1.5 amps. That said, after attempting to test the units for usage, I repeatedly tripped certain breakers in our house. Since this is a non-starter for us, we will be returning the devices that otherwise are likely quite workable. Again, not a knock against NETGEAR, but rather, a self-knock to not read the electrical specifications closely enough to make sure that our in-house wiring could handle the load.

It was easy to setup and install it worked great when I set it up on my Xbox one

Set up was super fast, seems to work well. Plugs need to be dedicated to the devices plugged in. They cover one of the plugs rendering it unusable. I knew that before purchasing, so not a huge issue, the plug thru helps make the plug usable with a power strip.

Gives optimal speed for gaming. Download speeds can get a little slow if surrounded by walls. 57 MBs even though it has a lot of obstruction
