Customer Ratings & Reviews

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 have had bad experiences in the past with powerline adapters, speeds been too slow for regular use. I was skeptic at first but im getting some decent readings on this pair of 250mbps max upload and download. I can live with that im using these to air mesh an area to wire via the powerline.

My gaming computer was having issues with connecting to my wifi wirelessly and i was having really bad download speeds. I saw this at Best buy and decided to purchase it and now I have amazing download/uploads speeds. And it has a simple install its pretty much a “plug and play”

I was having an internet issue with a dead spot ever since people started using the internet more with COVID. My internet speed went from red to all green once this was installed. Very easy Installation, just plug into the one outlet with my main router and then, into the room that had the issue. Only gripe was I needed a longer Ethernet cord for the PC it was being hooked up and luckily I had that! At first I was griping at the price, but it was well worth it and so glad that it fixed my issue since I am working at home.

This product works really well and does exactly what it promises. The quality is solid, performance is consistent, and it made a noticeable difference from the first use. Easy to use, well-designed, and clearly made with care. I’m very satisfied with the purchase and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for something reliable and effective.

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.

Work like they should, simple installation. It covers the entire double wall plug, even if you put it in the lower one, it sticks up too high to use the upper one. A bit pricey to get the fastest internet access through the box.

This wireless power adapter works perfect for room to room applications. No lag and it also doesn’t hog up your plug with one built in. I recommend this product.

Excellent product that provides the ability to connect my streaming media player direct to my network via Ethernet. I have wifi6 routers but it still helps with the speed of the internet when connected through Ethernet instead of WiFi. The Ethernet port helps to eliminate any lag associated with WiFi even if it’s minor lag it is still more snappy and quick. It has allowed me to see full ISP speed direct to my connected devices. The Netgear Powerline is very simple to set-up and I was up and running within minutes. You need to plug one unit in by the router or modem. I chose to plug it in near my Netgear router so I could use the Ethernet from the router to supply the powerline adapter. Next just plug the other adapter in near your source device that you need to supply with the Ethernet connection. In my case I plugged the other adapter in near my NVIDIA shield streaming set-up. This has functioned great and the difference in speed is certainly noticeable with snappier load times. Overall just a more reliable connection over WiFi for providing a great streaming experience in 4K ultra or streaming my HiFi music it’s a great solution.

Works great made a huge difference on my ps5 connectivity.

I live in a older house with brick and stucco walls. This causes WiFi to suck as the walls block the signal. I can't run Ethernet cables either because of the walls. This is where the Netgear Powerline2000 excels! I was able to setup one adapter near my modem and router. and the second adapter in the living room. The Poweline adapters have two Ethernet ports each. It doesn't matter which adapter is connected to your router. I have a Roku and PS4 connected to the one in the living room. It works flawlessly. The setup is easy, make sure to secure your connection by paring the two units together following the setup instructions. I haven't run a speed test over the power line network but will soon. There is a signal indicator that turns from red to green to determine the signal strength over Powerline. My units show green which means 100Mbps+. There are two drawbacks I would like to point out: First, If you plug this into a standard two socket outlet, you loose the top outlet as the body of the adapter obstructs it. To combat this I used a short mini externsion cord - 1ft. Make sure not to plug this into a power strip. You can however plug a power strip into the pass thru on the plug. The second drawback: The pass thru outlet is only rated for 9.1 amps, even though a standard socket is rated for 15 amps. There is a sticker on the pass thru outlet stating this, yet it is found nowhere on the product packaging, 9.1 Amps is enough for most people though: ie: a game console, tv, soundbar, so its just a slight inconvenience.

Just got the Powerline 2000s yesterday. In summary, I'm glad I did. I have ATT 1G Fiber coming in to a generic ATT router which feeds my Nighthawk 7 router that I use to run Wifi to my 2 Tvs, AVR, 2 computers, a cell phone and other misc things. The routers are on the far side of our house from all the stuff we want to run. The main TV would sometimes buffer and otherwise lag or revert to lower resolution at times. I got the Powerline 2000s to run the main TV via ethernet. Installation was easy and the 2000s went 3 green within seconds of being plugged into the wall outlets. It gave our TV a constant 100mps speed, which is plenty for 4k viewing. It even appeared to us to give a better picture on all programs. Even though we have a premium TV, the Wifi is only 'ac' and I'm sure the ethernet port is only 100mps capable. For the heck of it, I tried moving my Nighthawk 7 to the TV room as that would be the best place for it. Unfortunately the most it would get is 130mps off the 2000s so I put it back where it was. Overnight the 2000s went into 'sleep' mode but woke up instantly when the TV was turned on. Still a great picture and sound. Plus our computers are now in the 500mps range because the constant TV traffic has been moved off the Wifi to ethernet. My only concern now is how long it lasts and whether or not it will have 'connection' issues going forward. I bought them from Best Buy because it would be easy to return if necessary. But, so far, so good!

i bought the version below this a year or so ago the PLP1200 and it did the job but with some stability issues, This one however has no Stability issues and can easily maintain its performance at a long distance, having IEEE® 1901 compliant and IEEE® 802.3 compliant hardware makes a difference in a busy appliance home or with multiple items using electricity. its bulky so the pass through outlet was needed for sure and it has the added benefit of filtering out electrical noise to help this thing perform that much better. just don't mix and match Power-line kits netgear or not since it will cripple the power line 2000 performance, from personal experience and test by trying to mix my old 1200 with the 2000.

I’m guessing a reasonable understanding of the product’s limitations and functions are required to have a positive experience. Firstly, this device works with the “1200” version. I’m using one of these 2000’s as the main connection hardwired back to my router and 1200’s as satellites. One 1200 is hooked up to my fish tank controller. Speed is not important but reliability is. So far it has been rock solid. This is not on the same circuit as the 2000 and has an orange/red connection but is reliable so I don’t care. The second 1200 is connected to a switch which runs a FireTv and laptop for online school. It is on the same circuit as the 2000. It shows as green, meaning it’s connected at max speed. I am able to get my max internet speed through the device which is all I can ask for. I imagine if you have an older home or are asking these to go through sub panels you may see issues. I would also imagine if you’re trying to share or send large files it may not be ideal. However, for just internet (we have gigabit) it’s absolutely perfect and incredibly reliable. We are having solar panels and a solar battery installed in the next month, including a rework of our electrical panel, and I will update my review if it has any negative effect on it.

I'm usually not a big fan of Wi-Fi network in my house if I can get away from using them. I was happy to see that there was a solution to this that didn't involve me breaking down my walls and running an ethernet cable throughout the house. It's amazing how these powerline adapters work because all you need to do is seriously just plug it into the wall, connect your router to one of the adapters and then connect your device on the adapter in some other room and it just works like magic. There are a couple of small caveats to keep in mind if you use powerline in my experience so far. Performance of the speed depends on the wiring in your building so you may get less speed than you would normally if you directly connected through an ethernet cable. Depending on how electric noisy your wiring is you may also get less speed as well. In my case, I got about 60mbps instead of 120mbps. But it really isn't that noticeable as I am able to stream videos and play games with no lag at all. Depending on where you plug the adapter in it may not be on the same electric circuit that the other adapter is connected. The kit comes with two small ethernet cables and the two powerline adapters. The ethernet cables that are included are pretty short. If you need to connect your router or device that may be a little ways from your electric wall outlet you may think about buying a longer ethernet cable to go with it. In conclusion, before you do any big project to remove walls and run an ethernet cable through the house it may be easier to buy these powerline adapters and run your home network through the pre-existing wiring in your house. Save me a big headache of doing that myself. Very happy with them so far.

My son was constantly complaining that his WiFi was lagging in his room despite having a 6 antenna router. Bought these and took 1 minute to install. Just plug in to router and outlet then outlet in his room to his PlayStation. All done. He checked the speeds and they had increased dramatically and he has not had any lagging since. So much easier than trying to place Ethernet cord from one side of house upstairs to his bedroom.

These are the real deal. I am able to run a Cisco Aruba VPN device for work across our home network with these. I was nervous that this device may not be compatible with the kind of network traffic I was sending but it does great. I had also read that these devices do not work well when outlets are on different phases of your home’s electric system. It isn’t a problem at all! I go through about 500Gb a month and it is doing great. The only thing I am still nervous about is it ability to tolerate power that isn’t very clean(sin wave issues). Many of our tech devices have had to go to UPS’s to improve their longevity. No problem so far, but only time will tell. I also like that there is a plug available on each device. A couple more things to note. Easy setup, but instructions could be better. The device covers both plugs on an outlet. Annoying but tolerable problems.

I had some Linksys powerline adapters for 8 years that did not stop working once during that time. I realized they were 8 years old though and the technology and speeds had increased over time and I wasn’t getting the full speed my internet provider was providing through those powerlines. Unfortunately Best Buy doesn’t carry any Linksys powerline adapters anymore. Either way, I wanted speed and quality, and these were some of the most expensive on the site, so I figured I’d go with them, even though I’ve had three Netgear products in the past and I’ve had problems with all of them. It’s been ten years and this seems to be the brand Best Buy has snuggled up with now so why not. When I hooked them up, as advertised, easy to install, and I was getting the full speed that my internet can support, same as hardwiring right into the modem. They are bulky, whereas the Linksys in the past were standalone with a small cord so you could still use your other outlet. They do have the plug on the face, but plugging a surge protector in there didn’t seem like the best idea, and, when I did plug something into the outlet on the front, the internet stopped working, like it was too much throughput. Whatever...caused some configuration issues with outlets but I was happy about the speed. After a few days, the internet wasn’t working. I go to look, and the middle light is out on the adapter by the router, and it was very hot. I unplugged it to let it cool down, and even switched it with the other adapter to put it on the receiving end. Well a few days later, the second adapter had overheated by the router. Unplugged, let it cool, and it worked again. Not long after, the original, now the receiver, had gone out as well from overheating. So it wasn’t just the one adapter, and it wasn’t just on the router end. After unplugging and letting them cool down they work again, but I’m not going to keep doing that, and for $109 I’d expect better. In three weeks now they have gone down five times. So I’ll be taking these back and I guess trying the TP-Link. I swore off Netgear years ago and they once again proved that to be a good decision. My advice would be don’t buy these. Don’t be fooled by the higher price, doesn’t mean they’ll work. I have a ten year old home so wiring shouldn’t be an issue, and used previous powerline adapters for years with not one problem.

This dual 1Gbps powerline adapter works great!! I have it plugged in and it connects my homelab perfectly. No additional software or setup configuration needed. Just plug it in a wait for the lights to go green. It's the most reliable powerline solution I ever used.

have purchase two sets of these. they work really well. no issues, no noise on the line. fast connection, easy to set up. cons. cant purchase extra unit by itself. have to purchase two units at a time. needed three, had to buy two sets of two for over $100 per set. must unplug when an electrical storm comes, good practice regardless. overall i would recommend this product
