I have 2GB internet speeds with ethernet. I thought this would be a good fix inster of having to purchase xFi pods. Turns out i was extremely wrong. I put photos of an internet speed test with ethernet, and with Wifi. Im calling cap on the "green > 80 mbps (best)". I think the user manual may just have a typo, and the 0s weren't meant to to be there. That would at least make sense getting only a 7 mbps upload speed.

It was really slow for me. It could have been my actual service, but even wifi worked better. I do like that you get two ethernet plug ins, and another outlet, but I would just stick to wifi or direct ethernet instead.

As soon as I set these up it started cause breakers to trip, so I looked it up and it’s a known issue for AFCI breakers. Which are used in most new homes. They did work but in 2 hours it tripped 4 breakers. Stay away if you have a new home

The WiFi extender really lives up to the hype! The speed boost is noticeable. 4K content can now be streamed without any lag or interruptions, even when multiple devices are connected. It's been incredibly reliable, and the signal strength is consistently strong throughout the entire house. No more frustrating moments of waiting for pages to load or videos to buffer. This extender is highly recommended for anyone looking to improve their home network

The product is easy to setup and provides a great connection.
In the several months since I've had them, I've had to reset (plug/unplug) the devices to get them to play nicely with one another.
The pass-through power and extra ethernet port are great features and work well; however, the device is *slightly* too large at the top to allow another three-prong grounded device to be plugged into a standard 120V U.S. outlet.
It's as if they did all the QA on it and never thought to actually test it with something else plugged in.
Thus, your only practical options are:
1. Don't use the top outlet (non-option for most)
2. Buy a VERY thin flat adapter to slip behind and above this device (can be hard to find)
3. Only plug two prong devices (i.e. lamps) into the outlet above where you plug this in.

I am able to use the Internet via wired connection successfully. I needed this because my home is newer and has the modem built in essentially through a panel in my washer room. Due to this, I can’t really move it around. This was a great solution so that I could still use Ethernet in my office for my computer as I work from home. I give it a 4 because it doesn’t give me the full speed capacity I was hoping would be equal to direct modem connection, but it is still faster than my Wifi. It’s nice for gaming also.

The power line inverters worked out quite well in my installation. Ease of installation and simple set up was a breeze. The addition of the outlet on the face of the Devices and the extra Ethernet port really made a bad situation not so bad at all. The hardest part of the installation was finding the right power line to tap into. 1st try green and amber lights the lowest data transfer possible. Then I tagged a different area and with plenty of doubt in mind I proceeded to plug into a different outlet, apparently on a different circuit and BAM! Itwas beautiful all green lights and the internet was running at a blistering rate, im extremely happy with the performance especially with the environment it had to contend with. The house had a large footprint with about150 ft between points A and B if it was in a straight line. the distance indirectly was approximately 400+ ft with 5 walls and stucco to contend with. I was impressed with the performance and highly recommend to anyone who needs an Ethernet port where there is none available.

I use a PC for teleworking. The PC is a few rooms distant from the wi-fi source. Although the Imac can pick up the signal, the PC can’t. I didn’t want to run a cord down the hall, so I investigated my options and found the Netgear outlets. They were easy to set up, and I have been using them for two years. Download speed is 300 Mbps, quite enough for work. The Netgear outlet was relatively inexpensive, easy to install, trouble free, and provides 300 Mbps. I recommend the product.

When I wanted to add wired Ethernet to a downstairs office after looking into all options I ended up going with EoP using the NetGEAR Powerline 2000.
It was fast and simple to set up, doesn't require drilling through walls and pulling hundreds of feet of cable through a finished house.
We have been using it for over a month and it has been rock solid with speed test that consistently run at our internet provider max speed.
Great product I would use it again. My wife likes the outlet that allows her to continue to use the outlet as a charging spot for her laptop.

I connected the two Netgear Powerline extra outlets. I was able to get internet in the room that I put in the outlets. It is like having a wired ethernet cable from the router to computer in the other room. These units work as advertised. I will buy two more to extend my network to other rooms.
