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!

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).

TLDR: These are great and I highly recommend getting them before any of the smaller/lower bandwidth ones to add to your network. See the pros and cons below. I'm quite impressed with these. I ordered some of the smaller adapters NETGEAR Powerline AV 200 Nano Adapter - XAV2101-100PAS at first and just couldn't get a stable connection on my 2 story house throughout all plugs. They did work but would disconnect and had a low bandwidth connection. I thought it might have been the wiring of my house even though it's a 2 year old house and had new copper wiring throughout. Turns out I just needed these instead. When I added the 2GBbs powerlines to my network it seemed to super charge all the smaller ones and it sems to actually work. Now I get a stable ethernet connection in any room that I have an adapter including my garage. I mostly use wifi throughout the house but keep my TV and desktop computers hardwired for a stronger connection. Now I can easily stream in 4k through the hardline and didn't have to go through the costly work of installing ethernet plugs in the rooms that I want to use a hardwired connection. Wifi is the way of the future but will continue to get more interference with more and more signals. These really helped. Pros: You don't "lose" an outlet and can still plug whatever device you are supplying ethernet to into the socket. There are two ports on the bottom with their own unique IP address so you can setup multiple computers/devices It's much easier to expand your wifi network by plugging in a second router to one of these and then using it as an access point for those areas in your house that have weaker signals They are very very stable. No disconnects (unless my whole network goes down) and they seem to work on any plug in my house. Even outside. It's worth mentioning that all Netgear powerline adapters are compatible. So I was able to use these with the smaller ones I mentioned and now those work too. There are a lot of different models for different needs. Some that broadcast a wifi signal, some with multiple outlets, some with multiple ports, and some super compact. Cons: The top is somewhat rounded and it does block the ground port on the socket above it.This means that you can't plug in two 3 pronged cords. It seems like if they just made it flat at the top it would fix that since it's just a few millimeters too tall. For me, the 3 bright LED's are annoying since I like almost total darkness at night. But that is just me. Many people won't be bothered by them at all. I guess some would say that the overall size of them is an issue and might be an eyesore. I'm not bothered by it though. They look like a tech gadget but know that they are about 6hx3wx2d (in) which means they are about the size of a small brick.

This one was pretty good, but the tp-link model performed better. Latency was better than the g.hn options in my testing (although apparently this varies wildly between households with circuit setup, wiring, etc.) All of these, Netgear, TP-Link, Zyxel g.hn models, were all super easy to use and install. The white also blends into the outlet pretty well, so fairly discrete. Though the AV2000 designs tend to be bigger. The Zyxel models fit onto the power outlet betteer, and didn't block both plugs due to the shape of the unit, more sleek design.

I've been using these to transfer my antenna delivered internet signal received on the main floor of my rural house to the router in our office, via the neutral side of my house wiring downstairs for 30+ years. They work very well but need to be replaced every 5-10 years.

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.

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.

I was so sick of hearing my son tell me how bad our WIFI is, That his game keeps lagging out and that he keeps losing connection to his X-Box that I took the gamble on this product. Our home was built in 1995 and his room is in the back corner upstairs from the router location. Signal was weak and at times not usable. Since purchasing this product I have not heard once. "My game wont connect" or "I'm lagging out". The Powerline adapter is giving him a constant 90 MPS hard line. Our household max is 350mps at the router. 300mps 5G Wifi. This product @90mps using the wall outlet is more than fast enough for his games, streaming and 4k content. Yes he is on a different 20amp breaker in our panel and yes the product works great . Simple to set up and seems to work flawlessly so far. For $100 I have peace and quiet in my home once again. Please Stop complaining about it taking up 2 outlets. Just plug multi outlet adapter or surge bar into the extra plug on the Powerline adapter. Problem solved - Seriously people it's not rocket science here.

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.
