We have tried sooo many ways to extend our wifi to our detached garage, no luck. This actually works! It's new and improved! With a router, we're no longer disconnected in our outer humble abode, don't give up! This, plus a router!

I love powerline home plugs. I work from home. My router is downstairs, but my home- office is upstairs. I plug one into the power outlet next to my router and one in my home office upstairs. Wammo I have a direct line internet connection to my work computer.

The Netgear Powerline adapter is an OK tool if you have limited options. If you simply need to get a wired connection to a remote portion of your home, this will do the job. You can even pair them up with multiple receivers to spread the love even more.
I was able to get a decent connection in a number of locations in my home, but it was not stable enough for a continuous stream of data. There would be drop-outs of the signal. This is not an issue for typical network use where packets can be delayed, but my goal was to run some surveilance video without having to run new network lines. The dropouts made it unusable.
Netgear does not offer any type of troubleshooting beyond simple installation. There are no best practices - 'for best performance, use it this way' for example. Just plug it in, and it should work. And it does, but not if you really need performance. With it rated at 1.2 gbps I think it's fair to expect some level of performance.
In summary, this is a good choice for light to medium duty or home use, but not if you need a more robust connection.

I only have a couple of weeks with it but so far it does the job with no issues. Something that I'd add is the bypass power outlet as this one does not have it but for the price I think it's ok. I don't use it with bandwidth demanding devices so I can't comment on that it deliver the speed it advertises.

Living in a rented house with lath-and-plaster construction can be an obstacle in a good wired setup. While these won't get you the kind of speed or reliability that CAT6 would, it works, it's a simple setup, and is probably a good trade-off for the time and money spent trying to run cable in an old house.

These have been great. I had to change the location and which plugs I used a few times to get a solid connection, but once I found the correct outlets it worked well.
It works better the less junctions you have in the line.
I have not tried a file transfer test to see the speeds, but my 30 meg internet stays solid and my ping times are far more steady then it was on wireless.

The powerline Gigabit adapter is super-easy to setup. You plug both ends into the wall, and they're connected, like you ran a cat-5 cable from your computer to your router. I would recommend routing television cables (coax) away from the powerline however, because it can interfere with your tv signal if its running next to the wall where you're using the adapter.
