    I was unable to get SiriusXM radio with my normal antenna because my apartment faced the wrong way. By connecting the Powerline 500 to my receiver, I was able to make the connection and it works very well.

    This product seems to be working as well as I had hoped for. My current internet set up isn't the best, yet this has helped immensely with hosting gaming nights.

    We purchased this to try and get my dads router closer to the middle of his house. Didn't want to have to run any new cat cables, so this seemed like a great option. Good News it worked like a charm!

    I love these home power line network adapters! They make it easy to connect devices that are not within reach of a network drop or cable. This has been running for me for roughly a year without issue.

    This device is a replacement of cable run (Ethernet). I used it couple times and I like it so far. Ihad a small issue when I installed it but I fixed it later.

    The power line I moved into a larger house and as a result had weak WiFi on the top floor and opposite end of the house, where both my wife and I work during the day. For the past year, we've been battling with an intermittent signal - usually weak - by using WiFi extenders. Not only are these adapters cheaper than the extenders I previously bought, but now we've got a solid connection 100% of the time. Also, I didn't have to do any pairing. Just plugged them in!

    I needed to boost my internet reception downstairs in my home office. This is a great solution. I plugged it into the wall near my desk and it gives me a huge increase in speed. Well done!

    Documentation clear and concise. I was up and running in no time at all, and have had solid connection since I plugged it in three weeks ago. I will purchase a couple more of these extenders.

    I needed to expand my wireless signal throughout the house and after researching options I discovered that this product would allow me to place an old router anywhere in the house and hook it up to the netgear powerline and create a new hotspot so that I could use wifi at the far reaches of my home. Great product and now I have wifi without the need to run cabling,etc.

    My Verizon Fios router is downstairs and my room is upstairs. WiFi sucks for me, so i really wanted to go ethernet. This worked, and I've never had problems yet. Definitely worth buying.

    I was so tired of having a long cable laying on the floor in the house and in 10 minutes or less I was cable free! Works great as long as you remember not to plug it into a power strip.

    My house is old with a lot of walls so WiFi can get sketchy. I bought it so the ps4 in my kids room had a hard-line connection. No more gaming slow downs or glitchy Netflix.

    We bought this to extend the range of our wireless home network from my office over to the other side of the house to the TV in the master BR so it would be able to take advantage of 'On Demand' programming. The bedroom TV isn't a 'Smart TV' since it's an older model, but once the DVR box was hooked up to this extender via an ethernet cable and booster, the On Demand was available. But the range seems short and it would often lose the signal, so we returned it after a couple days. It was somewhat pricey for what you get in my opinion, and we had to buy the cable separately to make it work. The cable and this box put it well over $100.

    There was no setup involved. I plugged it in and it was ready to go, it also connected everything into my current network, which includes PLA's from another vendor.
