I bought this for the sole purpose of eliminating a weak spot in my townhome. My router (a Netgear Nighthawk) is in the basement, and I would frequently have connectivity/buffering issues when trying to stream video or even download standard webpages while in bed 2 floors up. The PowerLINE eliminated that problem. Setup was easy, and connectivity remains solid throughout my home. PLEASE NOTE: as the unit uses the electric wiring in your house/apartment to transmit Wi-Fi, it needs to be plugged directly into a wall outlet as opposed to a powerstrip/surge protector.

I have installed 5-6 of them in my friends and relatives place. Works great. Simple installation. Better than Wi-Fi extenders. Even tells which electrical socket is the best for use.

The latest Verizon FiOS G3100 WiFi 6 router mentions that there is limited compatibility beyond its similarly configured Verizon FiOS E3200 extender and my purchase of the Netgear Powerline AC1000 bore that out in that it lost its IP address and internet connectivity after performing spectacularly for almost 30 minutes. The addition of an outlet is of great assistance over previous powerline hardware designs. I would recommend this product if it is proven that there could be long term compatibility with your home internet systems

I bought this device to help with my new Ring floodlights in my driveway. There was too much aggregate thickness for the signal from the Ring to establish a good connection to my wireless router. I tried the Ring Chime Plus but again, too much material for the signal to go through. I had used the wired version of this product years ago and it worked great. I figured that if I set it up at the closest electrical outlet and send the signal through the electrical grid in my house that it should work great. And, yes it did! I get a much better signal from Ring now and I can use all of it's features. Highly recommended.

This was so easy to set up, that after I wondered why I waited so long to buy one. Since setting it up, we've been able to boost our wifi exponentially. Great price. Glad I finally got it

Been having problem with our smart tv upstairs and also our smart phone once we go upstairs. Our modem is downstairs and connection is good until we go upstairs. The range is not so good. So, I bought this and connected my smart tv via Ethernet and using my smart phone connected to this devise and never had a complain. Connection been good for my tv and my smart phone. Will buy one more for my other smart tv in the bedroom.

Had no issues and was a quick and painless setup.
Netgear is so much a better product than Belkin as this provided much faster speeds for the Wireless portion than my Belkin router.

We needed WIFI in a detached garage apartment but the cable company wouldn't wire up a separate building. We used the Netgear Powerline AC1000 to send WIFI through the electrical lines as the garage is on the same meter. It works great and our tennant is happy with the results. One only receive 6mbps to stream video and this delivers 15mbps over the electrical line. If the router and modum need to be rebooted this gizmo still operates w/o further tweaking.

I use this to cross a house and then have a mesh router to bring WiFi out to a remote yard area. It had good strength over interior household wiring but loses speed through exterior wiring to a shop. Easy to use, tells you the quality of the connection at various outlets quickly.

I use the adapter in the middle of the house. I installed the wifi access point in an outdoor workshop about 75 feet from the location of the adapter. It works like a charm. I have 4 wifi (google home) switches and electrical sockets connected to the wifi access point in addition of an iPad which I use to cast to a television. It is exactly what I hoped it would be for a reasonable cost.

i have a 3 story home and had a very difficult time getting a good consistent wi-fi signal to all my rooms for my tv's to work properly. This fixed the issue expanding the signal to even the furthest corners of my basement. The best part was i did not have to hire a technician to come and install it for me, granted it was a bit over my technologically challenged mind but my daughter had it up and running in less than 5 minutes
