Customer Ratings & Reviews

Needed something to extend my WiFi to my Xbox and TV. WiFi extenders per se did not seem to work that great. The sales associate suggested this PowerLine over an extender so I purchased it. Setup was very easy and now the signal to that corner of the house has never been better. I am very happy with my PowerLine!

So in all fairness I should have listened to the Best Buy associate when he recommended this. I tried to go the cheaper route and originally bought the WiFi Extender by Netgear for $40 plus dollars. That worked fine for downstairs up to 40 feet from the router, but it would not carry the signal upstairs. So I returned it and bought what I was told to get in the first place. This unit was able to carry the signal to the farthest room upstairs, albeit probably too weak to stream movies via WiFi. However, I have no issue with using an ethernet cable from the unit to the TV which does allow for streaming. I am sure it will hang from time to time, but it was the answer I was looking for to get the signal upstairs.

Works exactly as it should. I am able to use this to work remotely with a strong signal without interruption in a room that has been added onto the original structure of our home! Saved me from to return to working in office!!! Thank you!

Used to have low wifi signal in the 2nd floor of our home, but this finally improved it! Easy to use and set up, you can also set a different wifi name and password for extra security if you are concerned about that. Worth the investment.

Works great. Needed to get wi fi to my cameras. Easy to set up and link to home system.

Simple and easy to setup right out of the box. Plugged adapter into upstairs router on a different circuit from where downstairs adapter was plugged in. Connected TV to ethernet port of adapter which improved speed. Also resolved downstairs wifi issues. Supports both 2.4 and 5 channels. Exactly what I needed.

The ease of installation was extraordinarily good. The functionality is excellent. The only problem I see is that you are not able to purchase an extender without purchasing the entire set.

This is the second NETGEAR - Powerline AC1000 Wi-Fi Access Point and Adapter I've set up and used. I set this up for my son's Xbox for a Ethernet connection and wireless for his laptop and phone. The only con is that you have to use the set password that comes with it, but it's not a jumbled mess of numbers and letters. You don't actually get a Gig speed for the Ethernet connection, but it's much better than a WiFi connection. Overall this is so much easier than a regular WiFi extender as you don't have to go through a setup using another computer. Just plug in first adapter into an ac outlet close to your router or switch/hub, plug in the second adapter with antennas into an ac outlet in the room where needed, and connect an Ethernet cord to a Xbox or PC/laptop and set up the WiFi to any laptop or phone with the password supplied. Just follow the instructions and you're up and running in no time.

Could not get steady wifi in the back areas in my home, after installing the Netgear Powerline 1000 I do not any more issues with my internet signal dropping. It is very easy to hook up.

Amazing! I love how easy it is to set up, makes plugging in pc simple.

I had crappy service on my security system but once I added this product mine system is clear and I can see what’s going on outside and my internet seems a little better to.

This powerline adapter is legit. My computer on the second floor was getting 17 mbps (on wifi) due to how far away it was to the router. The speed was not the problem, it was that signal would drop all the time causing me to get kicked out of games. With this powerline adapter I get 50 mbps even though I'm on the second floor. As a reference when I physically connect a wire to the router max speed is 55 mbps. Now I have zero problems with internet and it doubled my speed. Note: If you buy this powerline adapter get at least two 8 ft long (Cat 6) Lan cables. The included Lan cables are pretty much a joke at 2 feet long. Other than the cables this adapter saved me from running physical Lan cables through out my house.

This was a second attempt for us to extend our internet to the opposite end of our home. My wife has a home internet based company and our 3100sq Ft home wasn't covered reliably by our high end wifi router. I first tried a wireless wifi extender from Netgear. The results were rather predictable. I was able to extend the signal but the speed was atrocious. In spite of wifi speeds approaching 200 Mbps in the vicinity of our main router we were rarely able to get close to even 10 Mbps even after much research and tinkering. With this power line extender things were munched improved. We were up and running within 10 minutes and even though the extender is literally in the opposite corner of the house our speeds are stable between 12-20 Mbps. We only needed to maintain about 5 Mbps in order to do our live videos so we're very happy. Now there's no place in our home and even the yard, we can't get wifi.

I was having issues while streaming and needed to have a wired connection, but with an older house, it would be difficult and expensive to run Ethernet. I decided to give this a try and it works perfectly. I get the same speeds as plugged directly into the router, downstairs. Just plug into the outlet and connect to the router and then, plug the other unit in where you need to and also provide an extension to your network, wirelessly. I connected a hub to the wired connection, so I can use my laptop and Hue Hub and TV wired at the same time. It’s the perfect solution to adding a wired connection and also wireless if you have a bigger house or just need a more stable connection. Highly recommended!

This Wi-Fi adapter works very well. I was able to set it up in no time and it found the best outlet o get the best connection. The signal is very strong and I can connect multiple devices with different Wi-Fi connection set ups.

I needed a way to reach the far end of my house (second floor). Easy to install and it works well. I was told my house being about 15 years old would have great power wiring and this would work, and the Best Buy salesman was correct. I would recommend

Great, since we installed at our house and then we moved no issues, easy to set up.

Our router input comes into the house in a remote area and the simple plug in design as well as the signal transfer thru the power line is awesome. We plugged the other connector in on the opposite side of the house and the signal strength has never been stronger.

I bought this to extend the wifi signal to a metal building about 300' behind my house. It is a deadzone for any signals getting in so this was my only option besides burying a new wire. It takes about 2 minutes to connect to the phone but I have a stronger signal in the shop than I do in the house off the main router signal. The main WiFi router in my house drawing from a 100mbps service gets us about 15-20mbps effective strength. Using the powerline extender directing the signal to the shop, I get around 40-50mbps. To say I am pleased is an understatement. Using power tools is dangerous enough as it is, using them without the ability to make a quick 911 call in a building that acts as a SCIF room is potentially life threatening.

Amazing product! Worked great with my house and my back house. Great connection!! 100% will recommend to my family!! My back house needed WiFi and this completely solved all my problems with dead spots and WiFi signal drops! Planning my on buying more for other spots of my house
