    Just what I needed for a bedroom

    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.

    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.

    Good alternative when WiFi is not possible

    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.

    This is an amazing product. I have Cox gigablast with Netgear Orbi AX6000 mesh system, i was still getting low speeds in my game room around 50 mbps...surprisingly low. I have this unit connected from my office to my game room which are on 2 different breakers, my connection is very solid around 160-180 mbps. I realize if I was on the same breaker I'd have much faster speed. I was a little hesitant on buying this first, wanted to go with a Wifi 6 mesh extender initially. I'm very happy with the product, now I am able to hook up ethernet directly to my Xbox and the gaming couldn't be any smoother. Set up was very easy. Just plug it in, wait for the lights to see your connection status to appear then plug in your ethernet

    Been very useful for my workstations and tv that don't need mobility. Had one outlet that doesn't seem to work well with it but that wasn't too difficult to work around (I do have older wiring here). The rest were just plug and play, I have 4 of these power line adapters and one of them is hosting 2 devices, the whole system works very well. I haven't had any trouble with dropouts and the speed is significantly better than my old wireless adapters were giving me. I do wish the unit didn't block the third prong of the top outlet when plugged in but I've been able to use surge protectors to get around it where needed.

    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.

    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.

    This uses your outlets to make a hardwire Internet connection. If WiFi is bad in your house, use this to connect gaming consoles or TVs to high speed. Easy to set up, great speed.

    I recently had to change the location I was working in. My ISP was going to charge crazy money to come out and put a jack in another room so I can be hard wired. I discovered the Netgear and so far it has been great. I have no issues with speed or upload. I was able to continue my work with lagging or interruptions. If you’re looking for gaming purposes or simply just to move your work space to another room this is your go to.

    Gets the job done.

    Does a great job at connecting via ethernet when your device/s are too far away from your router (if you prefer to connect some of your devices that way instead of using wifi). However, this powerline is huge and may not be useful if your wall socket is too close to a corner wall. Otherwise, great device that gets the job done and delivers with higher speeds than most older models (if you don't need the two ethernet plugs out of the powerline, just get the netgear AC1200 model...it is a bit smaller, a bit cheaper, and the speeds are the same as the 2000 model; 1 Gigabit per ethernet line).

    It actually works but, but, but . . . my router is wifi 6 but this device is wifi 5. Hence, I was only able to get the low 200 mbps when I was paying for 500 mbps. I resolved the speed issue (457mbps)) with another product that had wifi 6e. The powerline 200 is a good solution but I needed wifi adapter to get the speed I am paying for with my ISP.

    This product was easy to install; literally plug and play. It works great. You would think it was the actual router because of how fast it is and there are no reliability issues. I highly recommend it.

    My setup is too far away to use ethernet on my setup so this has been the perfect alternative. Been using these for 2 years and it's been working fantastic! I have two ethernet cables one for my pc and my nintendo switch and they both work perfect. No slowdown when both are on either. Its got really fast speeds for both productivity and gaming. My only complaint is that the form is so big that it takes up the space for the second power outlet, but ay least it has a pass through plug in to make up for it.
