Review on NETGEAR PowerLINE 1000 Mbps Gigabit by Brian Sitton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works right out of the box. Eliminates slowdown due to congested radio bands

I live on 1/3 acre so my neighbors are within range of their radio signals. Last thing I counted, I had 15 networks with "good" signal at home - only 2 of them are mine. Needless to say, with all of these networks and everyone sitting at home studying and working, WiFi is becoming congested and slowing down. Not very good if I also work via video conference. The solution is the device. Plug one into an electrical outlet and connect an Ethernet cable to a port on the router. Plug the other into an outlet in your office and connect an Ethernet cable to your computer. No need for WiFi. Instant wired connection without the ubiquitous use of CAT 5. No noise. No problem. The device has an indicator that lets you know if you have a good connection between the devices. Green is better, but yellow and red are still better than incoming and outgoing radio signals.

Pros
  • Worth the money
Cons
  • Expensive
