Setup steps were easy to follow and I was able to get the system up, running, and configured within 15 minutes. The WiFi adapter provides good range and throughput. The one negative with this, and probably most powerline adapters, is that they want to have a dedicated outlet. We have noticed that plugging in other devices, even just to charge a cell phone, substantially weakens the devices throughput on the power line, and your connection status on the adapters typically turns red. It may be the wiring in my house, but we saw this across multiple outlets.

I needed a device that could connect my AT&T router upstairs to my computer downstairs. The setup was super easy and the connection was good. It works best when plugged directly into wall outlet and not an extension cord or surge protector.

Significantly Improved Wi-Fi

I had significant Wi-fi connectivity in our basement. After upgrading my modem, I continued to have slow and spotty internet coverage (netflix frequently having to buffer). After purchasing this Powerline adapter, the difference has been amazing. Since connecting, I have had no issues with connectivity or speed (have not had a single episode of Netflix buffering since).. I used the ethernet connection for my PS3 while also creating a wi-fi hotspot for mobile devices (smartphones and iPads). The bandwidth is also great as I stream TV while also using both iPads and phones on the power adapter network with no detectable slowdown.
The only minor drawback is that it creates an entirely new wi-fi network. This really only affects the first time you use a device on the new network since you need to key in a different network name and password.

My guest bedroom was tok far from the router and had very spotty connection. This extender allowed the entire other side of my home to finally use the wifi! It also has a port for ethernet so I hardwired my PC to it. Works so well I bought another one as a gift.

This is the best way to deal with dead spots in multi-story homes. Net Gear sells a similarly named product that is less expensive but does NOT do the job. We have installed this in 3 properties and could not be happier with the results.

I bought this boost my wifi coverage from the house to my detached garage which is about 200 feet from where I have the power line plugged in. It definitely works with extending my internet signal. Was very simple to install and connect and works right through the power line with no break in speed. I am pleased with this product and it was cheaper than other products I looked at.

My computer did get internet.
The maximum speed I could get was close to 80 mbts, lower than the 150 (but spotty) that I was getting over normal Wifi. If that's all you want then it does work.
Unfortunately, I have gigabit fiber and this product claims to provide up to gigabit speeds.

Idk what kind of black magic sorcery that makes this thing work but it works! I get consistent hardwire speeds regardless of where I plug it in the house. Plus this one has the wifi extension that makes it like a second router. Pretty legit.

We tried everything to get our new Smart TV to stream including buying a new modem & router. Nothing worked. This little device solved the problem. Tv streams now and as a bonus, we can now get wifi on our front porch! Easy set up too.

This powerline wifi extender allows you to easily and quickly extend the coverage of home's wifi regardless of how far your router is from your connected devices. The speed obtained from the powerline extender is considerably faster than my standard wifi extender that receives and magnifies the signal over the air. The only drawback is that NetGear does not sell the powerline access point device separately to fully extend my home's wifi coverage. I would have to buy another powerline adapter and access point kit.

I bought this powerline adapter about 2 months ago. It's not the cheapest, but took only about 10 minutes to install and create two new strong wifi signals in my downstairs room that never had good reception before.

These do work and are pretty easy to set up. Point to point speed is much better than wifi and easier than running wire.
