Not even close on promised speeds
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this to improve internet speed to a computer in my basement. Was having issues with my wireless speed so decided to try this. Bottom line, after installing, the speed on this was lower than what I was getting through wireless originally. Might be the wiring in my house, but the house was built in 2009, so the wiring shouldn't be that bad. Ended up returning the product since it didn't meet my needs.

Weak?
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was told that this would bring me from a 1.28 megabytes download speed up to where I should be in the 90's, but it only brought it up to 3.90-4.50 Area,

Not worth the price
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you want a wired connection for the sake of having one, then this product will give you that. Tried plugging the adapter to every power outlet in my house and even on the same power outlet but this one is still very sloooooow.

Terrible speeds
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I expected a little loss in bandwidth from the 989Mbps we consistently get with a cable . But running the two units plugged into the same wall plate electrical outlets wouldn’t even hit 200Mbps. No surge suppressor or power strip was in play. Tested the cables and they were fine, tried another wall plate again plugging both the units in there, same results. Don’t waste your money.

Waste of money
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not even a month after the 1 Year warranty ended this completely stopped working. Disappointed I spent so much money on such a simple device. Didn't even work that great in the first place. Just buy a regular cord if you can.

Please don’t buy
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.PLEASE DO NOT BUT! SAVE YOUR MONEY! This is by far the worst form of connection I’ve had to experience, every time I try to do anything on my of the connection goes off and on making it impossible to do anything on my PC. For $85 you would expect it to at least be a consistent form of connection? Again please don’t but unless you want to have a bad experience 0/10.

A good idea that does not work.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I set the product up as described in the instructions. I had all of my leds on.I had a connection but it was much slower than the regular wifi. if you want any help from NETGEAR YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR IT! You will also have to make sure the receptacle that the router is on and the one the TV is on are on the same breaker. to have a connection through the NetGear Router. My advice is to have your main router on a lower level than the tv. since wifi waves travel up not down.

Stay away

Slow speeds
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this item due to my partner starting to work from home. I needed to move my gaming set up out of the main office and still wanted it to be hard lined. I thought this was the answer. I was very wrong. I have 1GB internet however this device could not push beyond 50MB.

Did not work as advertised on box
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Perhaps it was user error. But actually gave me slower speeds. Netgear makes great products.This one just was not the one for my issue.

Nope
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Avoid. This dropped me from 450mbps down to 40mbps. I went into my local store and was told that this would be my solution to keep me from having to run an ethernet cord to my home office. When I returned the item a manager told me that it was a terrible product and she said it drops your mbps to usually half speed.

Useless - Purchased to connect to digital phone
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Router was unable to directly connect to voice over IP phone (digital) so was forced to get this unit to be able to use phone in another room. Can’t say it helped with issue as the connection worked but phone sound quality is terrible. Not sure if phone or this method of connection not being direct to router. Certainly no help at Best Buy to resolve.
