Great item, somehow worked better than a shaky wifi connection. Mine topped out at about 100 mbps

Excellent product. Boasters didn’t work new routers but this did. My setup was in the basement at the opposite end of the house (4,000sf) from the router on the first floor and this is the only thing that gave me good enough performance to stream video games record call upload and work from home. Highly recommend! The performance people say you loose through this method is smaller than they say it’s not even noticeable. The wall I was connected in at one point had water damage and the electrical in the house was by no means new but it didn’t effect my performance at all so old home owners in my experience you are good for purchase of this product.

Our house is 2300 square feet and is a new construction and the mesh system I ahve is "supposed to adequately cover 4,000 sq ft" but... that doesn't seem to include my office. So... with work from home being my new norm I needed better connection and didn't want to run network cables up 2 floors from my basement. So, i got one of these hoping it would help! It works FANTASTIC on average when everyone is gone I get 330Mbps speed tests (I'm paying for 400Mbps.

so i had an old tplink powerline before this, it is reliable but it often overheats and internet slows down significantly, since it only has 1 port and now i require two port, instead of getting an hub, i decides to upgrade it all together. after getting the netgear 2000, not only i got the port i needed. also the internet speed significantly increased, there is virtually no difference than directly plunged in from the router. needlessly to say i was very impressed and satisfied. highly recommand.

This product is great. I have a dead zone downstairs because my router is upstairs. I bought this at the recommendation of my ISP because they were sold-out and weren't going to get a reorder soon. I installed it with ease and it works great. It's just like having my ethernet cable directly into my cable box.

This is my second pair of Powerlines. I originally purchased a pair about 9 years ago to see if they really work. They do! No drilling. No wiring. It really is as simple as plugging them into the wall and plugging your ethernet cables into the jacks. Should take less then 5 minutes. Running at speeds above 80 mbps. Streaming netflix without a glitch. My house is wired with the old aluminum garbage as well. You could probably do better than me!

Ive never heard of this type of product before. Honeslty I had no idea of what to really expect. Prior to using this my wifi connection in my room was terrible so connecting my ps4 to the wifi was a pain. But ever since i got this thing my connection has never been better! If you want better connection to your router get this dont waste your money on wifi "extensions". This thing is a bit bulky though but definitly worth it overall!

Great product if you have to connect to wireless that is not close. I had my PC from work which was not wireless, I had to connect it and the incoming service was not in the same room. This worked great for that purpose. It was the 2nd product is tried and it was great

The Netgear Powerline 2000 fixed my biggest WiFi dead zones in a two-story house where running Ethernet wasn’t possible. Before, I was seeing single-digit speeds in some rooms; now I get ~90 Mbps wired and wireless upstairs through an additional router connected to the Powerline. Setup was plug-and-play, and while it’s not gigabit, the stability and coverage improvement are a huge win.

Works very well. The signal strength light is very useful to determine which plug to use. I'm running a POE switch powering 2ea 4k security cameras. No noticeable stuttering or lag. I would have given in 5stars, but the design covers both sockets.

Exactly what I needed. Quite easy to use-plug & play! Connected one of this to my fiber router & power source, then connected the other to my home office power outlet & hooked up an ethernet cable to my desktop & to an Airport extreme (created another wireless network). It works exceptionally well. Very satisfied with my purchase.

I was a little uncertain but this works very well for me. It sure beats having to run Ethernet through my walls in order to get a solid connection. I'm actually getting speeds greater than I am paying for, and the connection is just under three times faster than the WiFI signal, which is pretty good. Impressive.

Easy to install, from my home router to my computer is very far, after using this without having to connect a long cable, and the speed is very fast!

These were a great purchase! Was tired of the wifi connection busting up at times, or lagging. Couldn't figure out an easy way to run cat5/6. Stumbled upon these, and didn't look back. Was skeptical at first, but they work great. Never an outage, and performance is fantastic. Was faster than the wifi, and I love that it's a secure connection.

This product is very easy to install and a great solution when you do not have a wired cat6 in your room available.

Never seen this before but sends internet across power lines. Plug Ethernet cable into Netgear outlet and modem. Plug other Netgear outlet end into receptical near device you want to supply with Ethernet cable. Has a single power outlet on each Netgear outlet so you can plug things in that you may have unplugged. Does not work by plugging into power bar... must be a wall power receptical. The techie at Best buy said may run into other problem and that is your main panel has two bars on it to supply breakers.... if the receptical you plug into isn't wired to a breaker on the same bar side as the receptical you are getting signal from it appearantly doesn't work. So you have a 50/50 chance of it working. In my case it does. And really well. My speed test on the modem is 92 and the speed test on the other side came up at 74 so that is pretty respectable, certainly better than Wi-Fi. Don't forget if it doesn't work then you can take it back at Best Buy and get a range extender. This is also expandable so you can buy more Netgear outlets and pick up the signal in other locations. Remember range extenders don't always work because of dense walls and other electronic interference.

I am disappointed in the performance of the PLP2000. I recently upgraded from 100Mbps broadband to newly-available 250 Mbps fiber. My challenge is that my house was not wired for ethernet and the design makes it hard to retroactively install. Compounding this, the service entry is at a distant location from the living area and in a closet. I bought the PLP2000 to bridge from my ISP's router to my Netgear Nighthawk X6S AC3000, Tri-Band WiFi Router, Model R7900P, located in the center of the house where is has been installed since purchased. When close to the ISP's router, a speedtest shows 250+ Mbps up and download. However, the fastest I've seen with the PLP2000 is about 157 Mbps -- and this is when I connected the 2 PLP2000 units to the same electric outlet by using a 50' heavy duty extension cord! I more typically see about 150 Mbps through the house wiring. I believe the 2 outlets being used are on the same phase since, when I tried a different outlet, throughput dropped to less than 10 Mbps which probably means the signal traversed between the 2 units both through the house wiring and out to and back from the utility transformer. While I was dubious the PLP2000 would perform at the advertised gigabit speeds, this is much worse than I expected. And I wonder what Netgear really expects when I note the "Pick a Plug LED" has 3 levels of expected performance and the highest is ">80 Mbps (best)”. If they expected gigabit service, wouldn't this be at least 500 - 800 Mbps? The other problem is that the outlet available is a GFI, and when connecting or disconnecting the PLP2000 unit, the GFI frequently trips. Once successfully connected, it operates without trouble. On the positive side, the setup was easy, the units connect very quickly, and the PLP2000 appears to be stable albeit much slower than expected. Finally, as others have pointed out, the PLP2000 is large and blocks the other outlet for most electrical plugs (I have found a few older plugs will fit). So, I could only recommend the PLP2000 to someone not expecting performance greater than 150 Mps. I’m now thinking I should have just bit the bullet and bought a mesh WiFi system.

this was very quick to set up and easy to use. allowed me to convert wifi to ethernet just as advertised!

I needed to feed my Ethernet to a router near my entertainment center and didn't want to run a cable. This pair fit the bill perfectly. Easy setup and fast performance. Keep in mind that the units encroach a bit above the outlet they're plugged into; you can still plug in a 2-prong plug above them but not a 3-prong. That could be an issue for some, so it is good to know in advance. Very happy with my purchase.

Was a little skeptical have heard good and bad things about them but they ended up working out pretty good with decent speed and keeps what was disconnecting with WIFI intermittently connected now with no drop out.
