NETGEAR Powerline Adapter Kit, 2000 Mbps Wall-Plug, 2 Gigabit Ethernet Ports with Passthrough + Extra Outlet (PLP2000-100PAS), uses Your existing Internet Service via Household Wiring

Easiest set up ever. It connected right away and the internet strength is exact as advertised using an Ethernet instead of WiFi directly into my PS5. My modem is on the other side of the house in the living room. Great range & works amazing!

I have a recently built 3 story town house. The modem is on the third floor on one end and where my wife's work computer is, is on the very opposite end of the first floor. There is Ethernet cable outlet on the second floor but not the first. We had nests on every floor, but the first floor nest would sporadically drop out and lose connection because it is so far from the modem (even though the second floor nest is directly above the first floor nest, they don't talk to each other). So, we got this and I installed one at the Ethernet cable connection at the second floor and then the other on the first floor to the computer. And it works great!! I highly recommend the product for anyone that has a similar situation. Also, I wouldn't put this into a network wall box as the heat will likely limit its life span, keep it on a regular wall outlet for cooling.

Bought this with a bit of skepticism, but all I can say is WOW I am impressed! Getting speed and latency measurements that are much, MUCH better then I expected them to be. Was going to spend the money to add an ethernet jack to my room, as it is on the opposite side of the house and wifi signal can be poor (especially when outside). I connect to a desktop via rdp on my local network w/ a laptop, and always deal with poor connection and inability to maintain a 5ghz Wifi connection, as it would end up reverting automatically to 2.4ghz resulting in an immediate drop in performance of the rdp desktop. With this device I now plug into it via ethernet, and my rdp connection thus far is excellent, so I am both impressed and very happy w/ this purchase. Well worth the cost, though it is one of the more expensive ones it is (imo) definitely worth every dollar. See the image for speedtest. Keep in mind I am using ethernet over usb c, so it may be an even faster connection if you are using an internal ethernet card/port (but I don't at the moment have means to test this). 10 stars if I could!! The only complaint I have is that the device when in a standard outlet doesn't leave enough space to use the top outlet w/ a grounded (3-prong) plug. Only a 2-prong one would fit above it, so it does ultimately end up occupying the entire outlet you use. But since there is a plug passthrough, its not really that big a deal / a dealbreaker (at least for me).

Had two, bought another pair to add a line. Have one left over. Took ten minutes to add the new line. Works great. But NONE of them get anything like 2000Mbps. No idea under what circumstances someone could get those (in the same room maybe?). The home is a brand new upscale dwelling and most of the time we have amber lights = 50-80Mbps. Occasionally we get green, but only when I'm the only one here and most of the appliances are turned off (dishwasher etc). But even on amber, it streams movies in HD just fine. Not sure how well a video game would play. So the set up is easy. The connection is VERY solid. They are a great way to deal with dead spots. But the speed is not impressive. Edit While the speed is seldom great unless you're practically in the same room (less electrical noise I suppose), they are amazingly reliable. Interesting thing happened. It would not talk to one of the the much OLDER Powerlines on the circuit so I dusted off the old twin and TWO Powerline bases made 15 years apart attached to the router. Had to add yet another one for a medical device (different manufacturer) provided by the medical device manufacturer (for HIPAA). The second IT linked in my router could no longer see my modem and we lost internet!!! Took a bit of experimentation. Knowing that having two Powerlines acting as a base is irregular, we eventually disconnected the old one, assuming we'd have to upgrade its twin upstairs. Nope. After putting the newest one in the circuit for a few minutes the very old one FINALLY recognized this one, the Netgear 2000 we were using as a base!! Keep in mind, we never touched the elderly twin Netgear Powerline upstairs, we just removed its twin attached to the router and added the new one by some other manufacturer provided by the medical people into the Powerline network via a socket elsewhere in the house! And the oldest one even works now if we remove the medical one! Weird. FYI Powerline can apparently blind your router to your modem under very specific circumstances. Never did determine why the oldest Powerline couldn't see the 2000 for that year or how the introduction of the other manufacturers Powerline fixed it. Have wondered if they have the ability to update the firmware - something I'm not aware Netware can do - and updated our elderly Powerline. Once it recognized the 2000, something happened to its now superfluous twin. Everything works now and that's all that matters. Life's never dull with hardware.

This product has now failed on me TWICE within 1 year. Purchased beginning of 2020. Failed in June, 2020 (no power, no connectivity, no lights, item plugged in doesn't work). I worked with Netgears horrible support back then and paid the $16.90 to get it replaced and sent back. NOW...last week it failed A SECOND TIME. Called Netgear support today...and was on the phone for them for almost 3 hours (I swear...I am not kidding). After creating the ticket, transferred to the wrong person, then transferred to another person that also didn't have experience with powerlines who was trying to find someone, and then dumped without any warning to the beginning of another holding queue. I finally spoke to someone, albeit a very new customer support rep, that was at least trying to be helpful. After repeating my entire story a fourth time...and having to give my case number and serial number multiple times (twice to this rep), he at least tried to help me. I hung in there with him while he tried to diagnose with me until he asked me to try to sync the 2 devices together. Seriously...there are no lights on the one failed device...it is completely dead...and the outlet doesn't even work...and you actually still want me to arrange my whole other location to to try to sync them together? There are no lights on the unit... so that is where I drew the line. As I knew when I first made the call, he informed me that they could replace the hardware. However, by the time it came up that they would RMA the product, I either have to pay $17.00 (a second time no) for them to send to me...or I pay shipping to them. After 2 3/4 hours, 2 product failures, you actually want me to pay another $17 for something that so far has a 100% failure rate? Unacceptable! At this point, I am waiting for a "team leader" to call me back. BTW...there are other reviews here and other places that have the same exact example...works...then stops working. This product must have an issue with it to fail like this. However, above all, Netgear support has been the worst that I have experienced in at least 24 years (even worse than ISP...lol). It is a disgrace to a company that I have had allegiance to for many, many years! Well...to add fuel to the fire...after sending 3 more follow-up requests about Netgear taking ownership of this issue by contacting me and working through a solution by sending me a replacement...they actually closed the ticket without even responding to me by a phone call or email. Horrible, horrible support!! I tried to open another support request...I received an email back with a ticket number with them REQUIRING ME TO CALL THEM. After my last 2 1/2 hour horrible support request...I refuse to go through that fiasco again. Now I have 2 unusable pieces of junk here and no internet to my living room. I don't know what happened to Netgear...it looks like their quality is substandard...and that they don't stand behind their products anymore. If you like sub-par products with horrible support that is farmed out overseas (where they will not call or write you back)...then buy Netgear. If you want better quality product and better service...then I would explore other options like TrendNet, D-Link, or Linksys. I just purchased another switch...which is by Trendnet. Whenever it's time to replace my router...it will NOT be from Netgear. It's sad to say...but Netgear will never get a dime from me....ever again.

When it is hard to run Cat-6 wire without tearing your house apart, the NETGEAR Powerline adapter is a great work around. My house is on a slab and I have no way to run wires for my first floor. After using the NETGEAR Powerline adapter for years, I purchased a new set to expand my network. Plenty of bandwidth, in my case about 5 times faster than WIFI. For home use I will always use the NETGEAR Powerline adapter instead of pulling cables. Also, the NETGEAR Powerline adapter works in every outlet I tested in my house. Great Solution. Highly recommend for home and light business use. FYI, I use mine primarily for my TV Streaming Devices. WiFI will give me 30~35 mbps, the NETGEAR Powerline adapter gives me 150~179 mbps. :)

Good: I like the power pass thru and dual ethernet ports. Super simple setup. Relatively compact. Responsive tech support. Bad: Tech support confirmed older design (circa 2018), no diagnostics, monitor, settings available. Even with ideal (?) config, I can't see more than about 200Mbps through the two devices. Connection between powerline devices often dropped, blocking all traffic while they try to find each other again. My testbed had 1Gbps internet router to one PL2000, laptop to the other, both devices directly connected to wall plugs in same room (less than 10 feet copper). Best observed speed was about 200Mbps down and 100Mbps up. Netgear tech support Connecting laptop to second RJ45 on router-connected device I get 900Mbps up/down. Possibly my home wiring has more noise than I realize, but there's no way to really tell.

If you have areas of your home that the Wi-Fi just doesn't seem to get a strong enough signal because you're too far from the router, this will do the trick! If you live in an apartment and prefer not to run ugly, messy ethernet cables down the hall, under the rugs, behind the sofa, through the kitchen, over the hills, and through the woods to grandmother's house we go...well you get it, then this is perfect! This is especially great if you live in a condo, townhouse, or anywhere you don't want to run ethernet cable through walls, your attic, or crawl space -or you can't because that's not even an option- then this is your best bet! These things work great in my experience and Netgear is a leader in this space. I use them to connect TVs, PCs, and other devices in opposite ends of the house from where our router is located. Are they bulky? Not in my opinion. It's a network adapter, and it is what it is. Buy a 6-outlet wall mount adapter like this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00006BBAC/ or buy a 1-foot extension cord like this one https://www.amazon.com/FIRMERST-1875W-Profile-Extension-14AWG/dp/B071XYQ77V -but don't be one of these people who has great technology like these Netgear adapters at your fingertips and still complain about things like "it blocks the other outlet...now I have a wasted outlet I can't use" Really? ...Yeah, don't be that person. If you want a fast, clean solution to weak Wi-Fi and no messing with long ethernet cables, buy the Netgear Powerline Adapter! You'll be so glad you did.

It works well but unfortunately it came with an American plug which I was not expecting! This possibly takes the edge off its performance as it has to go through an adapter.

MUY BIEN

Bought for home use. Realized it came in a different plug type for my country, but I currently use it with an adapter, and it still gives decent speed and stable connection.

Tenho 02 pares. Muito rápido e confiável. As 02 portas ethernet ajudam muito. Na minha fiação velha ele chega a marcar 128Mbps. Fácil de usar e configurar.

I think this is a really solid product, but it’s important to know what you’re buying. If you’re expecting true network cable data rates, this probably isn’t for you. It’s not going to fully replace a direct Ethernet run through the wall. That said, for what it’s supposed to do, it worked really well for me. I mainly wanted something more stable than Wi-Fi for gaming, and I noticed a big improvement. When I was playing over Wi-Fi, my ping was usually sitting around 80 to 90 ms. With this setup, I’m averaging around 30 ms, which made a huge difference in how smooth everything felt. Setup was also really easy. It was basically plug them in, connect everything, and go. I also like the passthrough outlet because I’m not losing a wall plug, and the extra Ethernet ports are useful if you have more than one device nearby. Overall, I’ve been happy with it. As long as you go into it knowing it’s more about getting a more stable, lower-latency connection than matching full Ethernet cable speeds, it’s definitely worth it.
