Customer Ratings & Reviews

Worked great for me, personally I would rather have this than a WiFi extender. HOWEVER please be careful when buying there if you have an older home, apartment, townhome ect. The effectiveness of this product is directly linked to the wiring quality wherever you’re setting it up. So if you are in a newer home,apartment, townhome ect i would HIGHLY recommend this product.

I was actually pretty impressed with how well this worked when I first got it home. My router is upstairs in my office and I wanted to get a hardwired connection to some devices in our living room without drilling holes or running cables across the floor. When I first connected the two units and did a speed test I was getting around 200mbps download speed. My connection is 250mbps and I’m in an older house so this was perfect for my needs. However, about a week later the “pick a plug” lights both turned red and I started seeing less than 10mbps down and less than 1mbps up. I tried resetting the unit and plugging it into multiple outlets (even in the same room) and nothing seemed to help. I also verified that no one in my house had added any new devices to the circuit the units were on. I purchased a competitor’s product, plugged them in, and they both worked great, getting the same initial speed I got with the Netgear setup. They continue to work about two weeks later without any major dips in bandwidth. Maybe my units were defective, but I’m a little disappointed I spent over $100 and they stopped working in such a short amount of time. Side note: The Best Buy staff at my store were super helpful and gave me no trouble when handling my return. I’d give them 5 stars if I could!

I moved the home entertainment hub from one side of the house to the other with no modem or router. If you are like me and are searching for a way to have internet in a room with absolutely no obvious possibilities of making it work, GET THESE! I don't normally write reviews but this one I felt I needed to in order to help others like me who may feel lost. I will make it detailed so you can understand my path, roadblocks, and successes. This is being written on my phone so excuse grammar and typos please, don't take it as a lack of intelligence. We bought our home last year, for some reason the home surround with ceiling speakers throughout was built into one of the bedrooms rather than the family room or hidden. The room it happened to be in is a spare room we use for grandkids so having such expensive and important equipment in that room was well, not exactly the most brilliant positioning. I bought the HTC amplifier and controller, I prefer to keep wired components for better connections and sound, however the unit requires an internet connection to use the app, link music apps, etc., I thought a TP link would do it but nope. So I have the amp, controller-controller requiring direct internet, and two Sonos ports, each requiring wifi. I was feeling hopeless and a little nervous because I told my husband I was going to move the system, paid for the electrician, and then couldn't get the TP link to work. I also have an eero mesh system I should add, very important to note as this wouldn't work without it, in my case because I need a direct internet connection, explained below. Well after doing research I found this in wall system. How was I going to get internet into a room where there isn't any and due to distance running a wire is not an option? After trying the TP link, failed, I then went to a best buy, btw it said it had none on the shelves online but there were easily 10 so go look in person if you can, I brought this home thinking I would plug it in and it would work but it did not, don't fret, if all you need is something to connect a computer it might, but if it doesn't, keep reading. My particular system MUST be directly connected to the internet not through a device, hmmmm, conundrum. I had my eero router previously connected to the actual modem on the other side of the house, through some brain work, I'm pretty good with techi stuff and electronics, I thought to myself "self, let's move the eero router to the family space, connect it to the new in wall extender and see if that works". So i did just that. I left the in wall extender plugged in, connected my eero to that, then was able to "hardwire" my controller directly into the eero and MY SYSTEM WORKS!! Took a bit of figuring out but hopefully this can help someone. Now my TP link does work with my laptop in the same room but didn't do all that great before I got the eero. Final note, I got the in wall extender with two ports, do this, it seriously will come in handy even if you don't use it right away it will be good to have.

Used it to get internet from one side of the house to another and it worked perfect you you won’t get speeds of 500 but close to 80-100 which is not that bad.

I have FO Internet. I use this as my 1° Internet connection for TVs, computers & printer in my house. If you connect more than four, the middle LED turns red instead of green.

These are a great solution for establishing a wired internet connection when running Ethernet cables simply isn't an option. I bought these because I wanted to use Virtual Desktop on my Oculus Quest to play SteamVR games. However, my PC is upstairs and I can't run Ethernet all the way down to the router, and VD requires a very fast internet connection to work well. I've been using these for quite a while now and the performance honestly speaks for itself. VD runs great, video streaming is buttery-smooth, and latency in general is extremely low. That said, please do your homework before getting one of these. While Powerline network adapters are a great wired networking solution, the performance you get out of them greatly depends on the quality of your house's wiring, and it may possibly be affected by other appliances, like microwaves.

This product was used to get around a broken wire in an inaccessible wall. It worked great with simple Plug and Play. You can really only use one of these in a home and keep the performance, but its faster than WiFi and provides a solution when trying to get around problem connections.

Worked great while i needed them only downside is having to be on the same circuit for a decent internet connection

I have a really big WiFi problem. I was skeptical in buying this , because I had one years ago and it wasn’t working at all. I was planing on buying some switch boards and 200 feet Ethernet cable . But I got this set to give it a try . The tv I was trying to reach was on the other side off my house , and I have a big house . ( build in 1982 )So plugged it in on both ends , turned on the tv changed from my week WiFi I was getting to Ethernet and it works . 10 times the speed I used to had . Movies stream perfectly. ( note signal travels to panel box , no problem ) I will definitely get some more off them and help out my WiFi by eliminating a few devices. A few hour job with Ethernet cable down to 5 min . Price is ok , you get what you pay for

Plugged one unit into the oulet and route; plugged the other unit on the other side of the house, and worked perfectly. Now I have a hard wired internet connection to my computer with lightning fast speed all through my existing electrical lines. I did give it only 4 stars because the advertisement lied about the wifi capability. This product does not have wifi capability. It is only for hard-wired connections. You have to purchase the wifi externder seperately. But I am still very satisfied with the product.

I noticed an immediate improvement to my internet when I used this instead of just WiFi. And I don't need to have a cable stretching across the entire apartment.

Easy to set up once you find good outlets to use. Imo running a full surge protector through the power pass through have way to much interference. But idk. Choose a lone or to use and it worked great. Have gigabit internet but obviously it won't run at full bandwidth but consistently 500 to 700mbps. Would reccomend.

POWERLINE IS A GREAT OPTION TO DO NETWORK INTERNET FOR COMPUTER AWAY FROM ROUTER

I ordered a pair of these about a year ago because I was having trouble getting WiFi to work reliably to a particular room. They have worked perfectly since then. Downloading multi-gigabyte files has been fast, and virtual meetings have been reliable. I just ordered another pair for printers on the network since those have been unreliable over WiFI and they have solved that problem brilliantly too. Setup is very easy. Including setting up a secured network and adding new adapters to the existing info secured network. Highly recommend.

Had to travel to a family home, but needed wired access speed. They worked for me, but it may not work as well in an older home if the house wiring is poor or old.

I am using this to connect to an Xbox One in a bedroom to a reliable hardline into an Orbi router. Being a Netgear product, I wasn't worried about performance or reliability with the Orbi. Note: The speeds are not going to be as fast as a traditional hardline connection, however, much more reliable than a wireless connection. I saw a noticeable improvement to download speeds when using a gigabit internet connection vs using wifi. It is a little pricey for what it is however, but does its job well.

I love the ease to just plug in to an outlet and have the internet accessible. The additional outlet is a cool feature also.

In my house I used to have a direct Ethernet connection between my set up and the modem and I’d get download speeds of about 30-40 mbps. After some rearranging I had to move about two rooms away disabling the use of an Ethernet and dropping my connection to about 20-30. I tried altering my dns but that was only a temporary fix so I bought this power line adapter. It was a very simple set up even for one person. I just plugged them in, pressed the reset/pair button, repeated the process on the other adapter and it was set up. To my surprise, my download speeds jumped between 80-90 completely decimating my lag issues. All in all I’m very happy with my purchase and would recommend it even if you are able to have a normal Ethernet connection.

Works as advertised. Of course you won't be getting blazing speeds, however for those instances where the use of Wi-Fi is not possible, this is a very good alternative. Was easy to set up and easier to use. My set up is new construction (assume good electrical wiring throughout), 2 levels, Asus GT AX11000 router, so plenty of speed and coverage. In my case, my amp is RJ45 rather than Wi-Fi enabled. One Powerline 2000 downstairs and the other upstairs. I get good connectivity and decent speeds for my intended purpose. Have had no complaints so far, but will update if any issues.

For my situation it works wonders. My gaming pc is very far from the router. Can’t run an ether net cable to it. WiFi is to spotty for gaming. This device solved my high ping issues and made gaming possible. Only issue is it is not good for downloading, speeds to slow.
