The Netgear PowerLINE 1000 (PLW1000) is everything it says it is. Don't bother with WiFi Extenders that only relay the signal. The PowerLINE WiFi & Ethernet systems turn your whole houses electrical system into a Internet conduit. Once its set up properly, It doesn't matter how far away you plug in these Adapters from your ISP's router... it will give you just as strong a signal as the ISP's original router source. These systems are a No-Brainer! If you get this item and you CANT get it to work as I say then its most likely because you did not set it up correctly, or of course the possibility that its a defect/broken item. If you have allot of issues with WiFi dead spots and your trying to accommodate a family that is using the homes internet in multiple rooms for streaming/Gaming/Browsing/Uploading & Downloading then this will be your dream solution as it has been mine. Trust Me ;) ...and remember, you can buy up to 8 of these adapters and set them up all over your house with your same Internet Network and customize it as you want by login into your NetGears Server Admin Browser (The Step by Step for everything is all in the manual)Read full review

CAUTION: I have read several reviews that say this product may not work if your wiring is too old. Here's the kick in the nuts: It definitely won't work if your house wiring to too NEW!! New houses and renovations are going to comply with NEC 2104 or later (if done legally). Since the 2014 edition, the Code requires AFCI breakers for virtually all indoor circuits. Exceptions still require a GFCI circuit. This product does not work with AFCI or GFCI. (There are some reports that it might work with AFCI breakers that are not the Siemens brand, but that is exactly what I have.) If you have a non-Siemens combination AFCI/GFCI breaker or an AFCI breaker with a GFCI receptacle, you're still screwed. Finally, in my case I need the transmitter and the receiver in different parts of the house where the respective circuits are on two different panels. Again, screwed, even when I swapped to regular old-school breakers. Circuits need to be on the same panel. It does works if the transmitter and receiver are on the same circuit, even if that circuit is AFCI. But the idea is to extend your WiFi reach to a different part of the house. Any house that needs to have a WiFi extender is going to be too large to have only one circuit for all receptacles. Read full review

Overall I'm satisfied with this product. I have improved wired and wireless connectivity for the more remote parts of my house. Concerns: I needed to reboot the extension 2x over 3 weeks, not sure why: perhaps something to do with my electric wires or power flux? Formerly I had two SSIDs: one at 2.4G one at 5G. With my extender I named two more SSIDs with 2 more passwords. So I now have options to connect to 4 different SSIDs. Wondering if it's better to retain the 2 old/existing SSIDs, and their passwords, and use them for my 2 new extensions? Would this allow for seamless connections as I move my mobile internet devices through the house or cause confusion as to which SSID I am on (new or old SSID)? Anyway, I'm glad I purchased this product.

Easy setup, plug, and play. I was really worried about running Cat5 cable from one floor of my house to my office upstairs. No, this product did the trick and I am not connected with Cat5 to my Laptop and Server.

I needed one more of these ports to add downstairs in the basement where wifi was poor. Such a good solution. Works very well. Unit was in perfect condition and worked right out of the box.
