Review on NETGEAR PowerLINE 1000 Mbps Gigabit by Matt Mosley

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A simple and effective solution to weak home Wi-Fi

We're having an issue where for one reason or another our PlayStation 4 can't connect to the internet via Wi-Fi or keep up or keep up* strong connection. As many of you know, Hulu is the most notorious video app on PS4 for streaming. Delay, delay, delay. Anyway, I was googling to find a lighthearted and inexpensive solution when someone on the forum mentioned the word powerline. I was actually looking for WiFi extenders, but the Powerline caught my eye. And to be honest, I'm a bit old-fashioned and prefer a wired WiFi connection. It's the best of both worlds because I didn't have to run ugly cables from a router that runs throughout the house to the PS4 throughout the house. All I had to do was plug a device into an outlet near the router, connect them with a network cable (2 are included), and then go to the PlayStation and do the same there. Here it is. Very, very easy to set up. Everything worked in seconds. Tested connection with Hulu. Absolutely no latency. Works great; I am very happy with this purchase.
