Customer Ratings & Reviews

Useless piece of junk died after a day. One of the two units wouldn't even get a power light any more. And of course this happened just before a big storm that snowed me in for two weeks, just long enough that Bust Buy's lousy customer-hating return policy expired. So all I got from customer service was a shrug and "Sorry, there's nothing we can do."

I was skeptical that this product was going to work as advertised. I am happy to say that it really does work very well. The reviews are correct that the unit does block the upper plug of your outlet if plugged in below, so you just have to be ok with that. I guess they figure that the single pass through outlet is compensation enough for their design flaw. That being said it works great! Just remember to plug it directly into the wall outlet and not your power strip! Tried that first and really didn't work very well. It did take a bit for the two units to really pick each other up though, but after that I could stream video from my router that was way out of wireless range from one end of my house to another. Very happy with the purchase!

This did not work for me had to return did not pick up WiFi well

Very seldom nowadays can you actually get a product to perform as it is described. Like I said, works as advertised. Easy set up out of the box. You don't have to be a network guru at all. It was even easy for this simple programmer to do. I can run a VoIP phone, simple switch with two computers attached via patch cables and it is working great for my upstairs office. Thanks NetGear!!!

I have Gigabit Internet service. My wireless devices can attain speeds up to 230-250Mbps down and half of that up. Direct connect CAT6 RJ45 to router, I can get 950Mbps plus down and up. With the Powerline 2000 I get 350-400Mbps down and up. It is faster than wireless and seems to be working very well. It simply does not provide the advertised speed of 1G. Tried several locations throughout the house with much the same results. Before recommending to a friend, I would want to be sure they were not expecting 1G speed.

Works great. Took a minute to setup then worked great. Only get about 50 mb and 23 ish ping( I have 1 Gb coax internet)

Overall these things are a go to for someone who wants their connection to be a wired connect, doesn't have a wireless option, or generally hates wireless anything like I do. Their conneciton is strong and solid, any distance works as long as power connects them, and they work for years. I recently had one die on me, but I've had these same model for years without any signs of them getting old. I run two computers off of one line as well which is very nice, and I don't have any performance issues with doing so. All that being said, You basically sacrifice an entire outlet as there is little to no clearance above the device for the second plug, and I've never wanted to plug anything into the front as I fear it may interrupt or mess with the connection to the internet. The other downside, is there does seam to be a limit on the bandwidth allowed through. This limit is high enough not to matter for streaming and things, but it's very noticeable when downloading large amounts of data.

Works well, the speed is a lot lower than advertised but I have it traveling over a long distance from floor to floor. Biggest thing for me is how low my ping is when gaming, with minimal spikes like WiFi would otherwise have.

Resolved an issue setting up a network at a customer location,

They work great. No need to run cables across the house or rely on wifi.

Aside from some design flaws on how it covers the top outlet, I would love these Powerline 2000. They are easy to configure, work well in my house and resolved my issues with Tivo, my home office and WiFi coverage/speed. Really, these seemed to be the answer to all my problems. I bought a few of them to use in my house in NJ but one of them stopped working after a few months. I chalked it up to bad luck, bought a replacement unit and was good to go again. Then I got relocated to OH to a brand new house which was not wired for Ethernet. No big deal, I can use the Powerline 2000 solutions like I did in NJ. I bought a few more units and even more of the units have died after a couple of months! No power whatsoever to the device. The ones that work, work great, but if I have to keep replacing them, it is a HUGE inconvenience, even with BB's protection plan.

I couldn't be happier! I was skeptical at first, but this works just as advertised. Just plug it into your router, and the other wherever your device is, iorks like magic!

Installation was simple. Works as advertised. Not the fastest speeds, but it beats an almost non-existent Wi-Fi signal across the house and upstairs.

Was getting so frustrated with my PS5 having connection issues when no other device was having problems. Tried literally everything except throwing my PS out the window which was next. Thank god for this product, all is good now and i am happy

Very simple setup to include making the connection encrypted. As advertised, streaming at 4K works well.

Works great. Super easy setup. Saved the PS5 internet connection when WIFI extension failed.

Good product. Make sure you don't use other brand on the same network. there could be compliancy issues. It will not work if you use surged protected plug.

It is a good device, easy to install and works in seconds if the devices are ok, in my case the first pair gave me a one-day headache then I decided to replace it, the second pair works immediately. Another issue is the speed I can barely get 80 mb I was not expecting gigabits but a few hundred at least, but no even folowing all the direction s in the documentation so I am planing to return it

Easy set-up for total internet connection for all your devices in the house!

works great, just plug it in and no extra installation of any kind required
