Customer Ratings & Reviews

Works well to extend Ethernet to second wifi router at opposite end of 90 ft wide rancher. Occasionally retrains signal switching between red and green quality, but no noticeable network disruptions with over 20 attached devices (smart phones, tablets, laptops, security cameras, smart TVs) across local net.

In my spread out house, WIFI in every room is a challenge. I read the reviews. I talked to my smart friends. I found it at my favorite electronics store, Best Buy....I bought it. Once up and running it blew my older wifi unit away. Faster in every way. Stronger outside. Printer widget works the way my other one was supposed to but only intermittently did. I'm happy with the purchase, most definitely.

Wasn't able to download You Tube or Netflix for our new Samsung smart tv after about a month. After talking to customer support we found out a power line adapter was needed. We bought this Netgear adapter and it was simple to install and works great. Just remember to set the tv from wireless to cable. Very satisfied.

I think these units would work really well IF your working on the same electrical circuit. So, the premise to these devices is, plug one device into the wall AND your router and then somewhere else in your home plug in the wall and plug in another device to extend ethernet connectivity to. In my house I got 2-3 MB/s which is terrible compared to the 25-60 I get on my wireless network. My application was to extend my network to a dead zone where our son plays his xBox and the wifi is terrible. But because this particular area is on a different electrical circuit from where the Router is located the connection was VERY POOR. However, if I had the time to move the electrical outlet to the same electrical circuit as the router I think it would have worked fine. But if I were going to do that I'd just run a dedicated ethernet connection. Instead I returned these and purchased the NETGEAR - AC1200 Dual-Band Gigabit Wi-Fi Range Extender. I highly recommend the Dual-Band Gigabit WiFi Range extender! It has worked flawlessly and my son's speeds are as high as they would be anywhere else in the house.

Needed to get a VOIP phone connected with no chance of running a cable to the location. Had an open power outlet and the Powerline devices we a snap to install. Been running for 2 months without issue. Have already recommended to a friend to get his gaming console off wireless for online play.

This product was recommended by one of the Best Buy employee's in the store because my router was located on a different floor than my new 3D blue ray player which was not wireless. I did not buy at the time if the recommendation because I wanted input from my son who had given me the player. This item works very well and I can now watch Netflix on the second or third level of my house.

I was having the hardest time with a strong wifi connection.... who would've thought that this technology was out there... literally you power outlet also become an Ethernet line? Amazing and problem solved. Finding the best outlet is the only challenge and they could improve their manual a bit

Good alternative if your device’s Wi-Fi isn’t consistent, but has a tendency to drop signal on occasion. Surprisingly easy setup.

A Best Buy team member went out of his way to explain how this works and I guess it sends a Wi-Fi signal through the electrical wires in your. Honestly the best purchase I’ve made for my gaming setup.

Due to the wiring configuration of an older home I just purchased, I needed to resolve 'dead zone's between three levels. I read reviews that the Best Buy sales associate confirmed, so I purchased two starter kits. It solved the problem so much so that I decided to forgo the home rewiring project I thought I'd need.

I had the AV500 and wanted to upgrade due to having to reset the AV500 frequently due to loss of connectivity. Since purchasing the Powerline 1200, I have not had any issues and the speed has been remarkable. You will never get close to the 1,200 Mbps, but it does a good job at about half that rate.

It is easy to set up . Great connection. Love the ease of setup.

This item is perfect if you just happen to have a computer without wifi. We have wifi, but had a computer without the ability to connect to it. We bought this in the store and it has solved all problems connecting to our wifi. You just plug into an outlet and it connects with the signal. You also have to have the modem plugged into an outlet in the house. Great buy for the price.

So, I have a 2nd computer in my office that runs Linux. Could NOT get any wireless action to work. Plugged these bad boys in and just plugged in via RJ-45 and I have upwards of 80gig speeds. Amazing and so simple it's ridiculous. When you want to move on from trying to get a wireless connection to work and you have other stuff to get done, these are a no-brainer.

I never knew how slow my internet was before i got this product. In fact, i didn't know a product like this existed before i got it. My internet speed is much faster! No more dosing off waiting for a video or game to load. It's like magic: as soon as i click on something it's almost up and running in an instant.

Simple to set up. Since I have a large house with many areas of interference, my Wi-Fi router tended to leave dead spots. Now I can set up separate internet hubs at any part of the house by using the electrical wiring in my house.

Works good and easy setup, great way to get Ethernet in hard to reach areas.

Easy setup. Plug and play. Great for extending internet to a non wired location.

Early on in my project to remodel a room, I learned that I would need to reconsider my home networking layout in order to add a reliable network connection to this part of my house. Since I was gutting the whole room anyway, I played with the idea of running a dedicated network cable instead of relying on my wireless network signal because this room would house my media server. This meant I needed to relocate the wireless router closer to the room so that I did not have to run cable through the attic, which meant I needed to move the location of the modem, etc etc. What was supposed to be a simple addition to the project became a headache! I used to own old powerline adapters for land lines that I tried to use for a dial-up modem and I remember that being a nightmare in terms of reliability, so I was very resistant to buy a powerline adapter this time around. However, much of my research online showed me that the technology has changed a lot since the models from so many years ago. This model was within my price point and since my wireless router had a gigabit connection as did my motherboard, it made the most sense to get a gigabit powerline adapter. I'm sure glad I did! I do not experience any latency or connectivity or bottleneck issues on my desktop and media streams/ files transfer as if I was physically connected to the router itself! It was a breeze to use, as well, simply plug it in. Couldn't be happier!

I purchased these to add wired internet for virtual schooling for my children as the wifi was not keeping up with all the video sessions. The setup was easy as I already had an existing PowerLine adapter in the house. I get consistent 68.xx download and 10.xx upload and everything runs much smoother.
