    I picked these up to work from home. The modem could not be moved, and I needed a wired internet connection in the floor below. I *could* just run a 100' cable or so, but - no. That would not work. I picked these in part because of the electrical plug passthrough. Setup could not have been easier. Plug in, press button, do the same on the other side, connect, done. The signal has been reliable and I've had no slowdowns due to equipment. The *only* criticism I have of these is that they will block a plug. You can plug them in the top plug of an outlet, in which case - quite obviously - they'll block the bottom. But plugging it in to the bottom outlet, you will probably discover the area above the plug in the device is blocked for any grounded plug. It's just barely (maybe 1 1/2 mm) too tall. If that could be shaved down, this would be perfect, in my opinion. Recommended.

    Although not ideal, I require to set up in order to connect ASIC miners that were removed from my router located in a more sounded appropriate dampening environment. Even with my 1950s home has wiring and upgraded electrical for a small bit mining operation. This device by Netgear allowed for connection fall asleep between two rooms, separated by other rooms in between and allow for encryption integrated into the unit for additional security although not a direct line and not power over ethernet for which I would not recommend for this set up, these units provided ethernet capability and connection with my router in a removed space. Set up was easy, and the product itself will indicate the strength of ethernet connections highly recommend five star.

    This is awesome. I couldn't believe it would be as easy as it sounds, but it really was. Plug one in, plug the other in. Press the button on both. You have a 2 minute window between pushing the buttons on each to pair them. THAT'S IT !!! You're done with the set up! The signal & speed is great! Much better than wifi. I will buy a few more of these.

    I love the fact, that with this device, you don't need a physical ethernet or wifi connection. You can create a fast and reliable connection any where, with just a modem/router and an outlet. Great alternative if you don't have the necessary cables needed for traditional ethernet.

    Got tired of relying on wifi, almost doubled the speed of my downloads by using this. The outlet function is the only thing i wish was better. It's a bit bulky so it almost blocks the second outlet and makes it unusable for anything relying on the 3 prong. You might be able to squeeze in a small android charger on the second outlet, but a iPhone cube brick charger will not fit right above this on the second outlet you would have to use the outlet attached to this proofing l product instead. Only downside so far.

    I was searching for a simple and cost effective way to get WiFi in my pool house. The salesperson at Best Buy recommended the NETGEAR Powerline adapter. The Powerline utilizes your existing copper powerline as a CAT V cable. To set it up, I plugged one of the Powerline adapters, into the wall outlet near my main Verizon router. I connected a CAT V cable from the Verizon router to the Powerline adapter. I plugged the 2nd Powerline adapter into the wall behind the TV in the pool house. Then I connected a CAT V cable from that Powerline adapter to an extra LinkSys wireless router, which I used as an access point. I happy to say that we can now watch Amazon, Netflix and Disney + at the pool. This was an easy and affordable solution.

    I was hesitant to make this purchase because I only believed a hard wired connection would get me the fastest speeds. I was wrong this product was easy to hook up literally plugging it into the socket plugging the Ethernet in and pushing a button. Completely worth it to keep getting the high internet speeds you are paying for.

    Super easy to set up, and I'm now getting the full speed. With the Powerline 1200, I was only getting 48Mbps (my internet speed is 100Mbps). With these, I'm getting my full 100Mbps from one end of the house to the other.

    I recently got this because the other one that I had with one ethernet wasn't doing the job so I got this one and what can I say except that I love it. This lets me connect a switcher to it and allows me to play videogames without lag from a very far distance from the router. I would recommend this to any gamer who has lag and hates it.

    Had WiFi issues between my upstairs and downstairs. This product fixed that without needing WiFi extenders or running wire. Internet speeds are great. Plugged one in upstairs by my router and the other one in my living room. No lag issues. Works right out of the box

    I have this Powerline adapter connected to a Smart TV in my loft because my chimey blocks WiFi. I bought this as a last resort and I couldn't be more impressed with the results. The smart TV never buffers anymore! Simple plug and play. There's even a second Ethernet port so I can easily add a console or PC to the loft in the future!

    We were using a wifi extender but that just wasn't enough when working from home. Got this and after 5 min to setup, worked like a charm. It's not quite a good as being directly connected but better than running a cord all over the house!

    My son wanted to move his computer to the basement. However he games and needs a wired connection. One cannot have lag! I called my electrician who recommended this product to me. It would have been 3x more to have the wiring done. It was fairly easy to hook up and it works great!
