    My house is probably too old or something but after syncing them up, the other side only got about 3mb/s out of my 1000mb/s plan. Might as well use wifi at that point. Maybe if you have a newer house.

    Losing connection, I need to unplug from the wall and plug it back in. I have the version without the plug and it is much more reliable, no signal loss at all. I love the idea and the other version has worked great, just not this version.

    They work. You have to play around some with outlet placement for the best signal. Careful plugged in around other larger electronics and with power strips, introduces a lot of noise.

    I wasn't impressed with it. It's only up to 100 Mbps. I have 1 gbp speed. It can't reach more than 100 Mbps. I decided to return it and bought moca. It's much better than powerline adapter! It can reach 800 Mbps download and upload! Con about moca if you have cable line then ur good to go! If you don't then powerline adapter is for you.

    I bought this item after seeing its top rated status on tech review sites and the claimed speeds up to 2 GB. My house was built in 2004 so we don't have terribly old electric wiring but I'm barely getting 36 MB speed. I work from home and that speed will not cut it. I'll have to look into a wifi extender or run a hard line connection to my office.

    Although it functionally worked, but it's bulky. Due to its bulkiness, you'll lose one AC outlet which is really bad. I still have TPLink and the size is more compact than NetGear. Unfortunately, I could not find TPLink anymore in my local BestBuy.

    I actually have a basis for comparison in this case. I upgraded to these from an AV1000 kit from a generic Chinese vendor. I paid about 40 bucks for the old kit from Amazon(they don’t sell it anymore). These were replacements so I plugged them into the exact same outlets that the old ones were in. Find a plug showed green(ideal conditions). The old kit got me between 80 and 90 mbps all day and night with less than a 1 ms ping to the router. These things gave me between 1 and 10 mbps with very brief spikes to almost where it should be...then slow again. Pings spike to over 500 ms. Hopefully I can return these. I am very disappointed in Netgear.
