I live in a 4 level townhouse - so getting a decent wifi signal from the 4th to the 1 st had always been poor. With the Netgrear adapter we are getting an easy 30 Meg's with no installation issues! It's simply plug and play, we love it!

If you need to get Ethernet from one part of your house to the other and you don't want to run wire you have another option. Just plug one box near your cable router and plug the other box anywhere you want. It's as easy as that.

After I bought and installed the Powerline 500 Nano kit I have now gone out and bought 2 more kits. I have had zero disconnects now (over 1 month in service) and speeds are much faster than wifi. Very happy with this product.

My wireless adapter will constantly disconnect, so I decided to try this powerline adapter. The adapter works great. I got about 50 Mbps which is not a bad speed. I do live in an old apartment, so the device should function better on newer building with better electrical wires.

I have these in two houses and all work well. The latest version does lose signal periodically; however I think this may be due to indirect plug in through surge protector.

We bought one of these for our house so we could connect our dvr box that didn't support wifi. It was perfect, easy to setup, and has been reliable. When my inlaws got a bluray player and wanted to stream Netflix but was too far from the router, we went and bought them one as well.

Our wireless router doesn't reach the other end of our Ranch style house. We have the wireless router placed at one end of the house so it can reach our garage for music streaming. I bought this to help connect our pc to the internet. This was breeze to setup and works great. You just connect an ethernet cable from your router and on the other end to the other wired device. My only gripe is that I should have spent the extra $20 on the Powerline 500 Wireless Access Point so my wireless devices can receive a stronger signal.

I needed a fast internet connection....and wifi wasn't cutting it for what I need done. I stream a lot of hi-def content from my computer to different rooms in the house. With Wi-Fi there are a lot of buffering issues especially when I'm working with file sizes greater than 4gb. The product was easy to use. Plug and play at its very best. Really love the speed and now I have a peace of mind that I will not have any stuttering or buffering issues when watching movies throughout the house.

I needed a way to connect a DVR to an Ethernet cord. I was considering a wi-fi extender when a Best Buy employee suggested the Powerline kit. It installed without a hitch and works perfectly.

I bought this in a rush, I thought it would be amazing.. And it is. The speed is what my provider gives me. I have it plugged in downstairs and I still get my 50mbps upstairs with no issue.

So I went into best buy looking for something that would transmit my high speed internet to a computer without a wifi card, the associate said this would do the trick, boy was he right! This was the easiest setup ever and it works like a charm.

The setup was super easy; pretty much plug and play. I have 200Mbps download speed and the power-line gets me 20.34Mbps download and 11.84Mbps upload. For the price, it's not a bad deal.

I live in an older house built in the 20's. Most of the wiring is still original. I have four adapters in separate rooms and they all work flawlessly. Plug them in, wait 30 seconds until they snyc, and you're online. Streaming to a Roku, AppleTV, and Samsung Smart TV at high Def settings in different rooms with no skipping or waiting. They just work. And very well.

This product is a great way to provide internet service in the home to an old computer without WIFI capability. It is very easy to install and use and the hook-up to the LAN port to the old computer is very straight-forward.

I wanted to use this, as wireless connection can be spotty in areas of my house. This allows the wireless signal from the main router to be transferred over the electrical wiring in your house! It couldn't be easier to set up - just plug into an outlet by the router & plug the receiver into another outet (in my case, in the basement). This allowed me to go from a 3Mb download speed to a 30Mb download speed in my basement!

I needed an Ethernet wire to disappear between the downstairs to the upstairs without having to cut holes in the walls. I asked my local internet provider how I can do this easily and he recommended the Ethernet adapter kit. How easy it was to install and work and no more wire showing! My son also mentioned that his gaming system is a lot faster.

Worked as expected connecting a desktop to a router on another floor. I did have to try several electrical outlets to find one that would give an acceptable connection.
