Customers like the connectivity of the network interface controller adapter. They mention that it delivers enough Ethernet to exceed WiFi, handles two connections with 100 mbit speed in both directions at the same time, and is a great way to extend their network. It provides plenty of bandwidth, making it easier to expand your WiFi network by plugging in a second router to one of these. The mesh network is good for some basic operations, such as surfing the web, checking email, and keeping track of your finances. However, the adapters have some drawbacks, including the fact that they can't support 5GHz.

Customers are mixed about the signal strength of the network interface controller adapter. Some mention that it provides a steady and reliable connection, while others say that it has poor signal and is not a magical fix for bad WiFi.
"...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...." Read more
"...Purchased beginning of 2020. Failed in June, 2020 (no power, no connectivity, no lights, item plugged in doesn't work)...." Read more

"...review if they can solve the issue, otherwise this product is a waste of money and my time...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the plug of the network interface controller adapter. Some mention that it has a pass-through plug, so they won't use up an empty plug. However, others say that it blocks the upper plug on the outlet, preventing plugging in a second grounded plug above it.
"...Also, the subwoofer is not plugged into the same outlet as the AV receiver...." Read more
"...This device also has a pass-through plug, so you won't use up an empty plug which could be used for another powered device..." Read more

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The powerline that i'm using between my house and my office is a bit noisy - this adapter seems to have zero problems with it. Recommended, and it was well worth the money.
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.
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.
Top reviews from other countries
1A.) Provides a functional internet connection, for internet browsing and video viewing.
2A.) Provides a functional external outlet for another device - e.g. power/surge protector bar.
3A.) Easy to set-up.
nit-picks (not Cons):
1B.) Regardless of which wall outlet it's plugged in, it eliminates a second wall outlet from being used, unless your device doesn't have a ground prong - e.g. a side table/reading lamp with a two-prong plug - then the second/upper outlet is still usable.
2.B) The network connection LED does not light up on the secondary/remote Powerline (when the primary one is ON) unless a device is plugged into the remote Powerline - e.g. a laptop is on and logged in. This isn't really explained in the Quick Start Guide, so initially, I thought it was not working properly. Unless this is due to my set-up, but everything works when it should, internet connection wise.
Final thoughts:
This product has met and exceeded my expectations. Since my internet connection is nowhere near 1Gbps, I have no issues with the connection speed, like other have complained. I cannot comment on the ratings for Wi-Fi signal, Tech Support nor For gaming.
