    This is the last Netgear purchase I'll ever make. I've tried buying several of their expensive wifi amplifiers to improve the speed in my home. None have worked (yes i did properly install them) and I have returned every single one. Don't waste your time or money on this garbage.

    Lots of trouble to program it does not work well. I would have returned it, but it is an 80-mile round trip to return it. I made a bad decision thinking it would help, I was wrong.

    I tried every outlet combination and still does not work. Also the 14 days return policy of BB is not helping, I will love to exchange for another one to give a another try but I don’t want to buy another one.

    Found to my consternation the WIFI portion of this system does not work. My WIFI signal in my office is still as weak as it was when I purchased and installed this system. I can get the speed I want by plugging in a network cable, but that was not what I signed up for.

    I was told that it would boost my internet. I installed it and didn't even get a signal. They say it works off the electrical wiring, but if that was true i would have gotten something. NOT!!! My review is that it did not do anything for me, so i say bad.

    Spent 1.5 hours troubleshooting and my 900 Mbps was reduced to 90 Mbps. NETGEAR support was ineffective and ineffective. Both speeds were clocked with a wired connection. Returned it to BestBuy.

    Internet connection is quirky, usually fails and is slow on the rare occasions that it works. This seems so inferior to the TP-Link device at my office.

    This version of the Netgear Powerline with Wifi Access Point would not work. We returned it and decided to try one more time with the Netgear Power 2000. The 2000 works great! Do not buy this one...
