Comments about Netgear Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter kit:

I bought into Netgear products years ago with Wifi standards of a and b; recently I got 2 Netgear Draft N routers. One was for a base station and one as a repeater to expand internet access to dead spots in my house. That was a frustrating failure with unreliable coverage, configuration issues, and hardware that burnt out. HOWEVER, I gave this a try to at least get an Ethernet cable connection to my dead spot and IT WORKED!!! The speed works as if I was connected to the base router and it worked right out of the box with no configuration. Now I just hold my breath that the actual physical devices don't die on me.

Comments about Netgear Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter kit:

This product is amazing. I have a fairly large house with a sprawling layout. I have a LinkSys WAP54G and a LinkSys WRE54G Range Expander for wireless, with the WRE54G in the Home Theater room for the TiVo HD and a Laptop I hooked up to the big screen. Using the Wireless was slow and unreliable, even with the WRE54G in the same room. Also, my wife connects wirelessly to the network on her laptop from a desk in the next room. Connections are always being dropped, the TiVo looses track of the wireless connection, and sometimes the WRE54G just locks up and the signals become really weak. So I got one of these sets to try it out.I hooked it up to the Router in my office and plugged it into a wall socket. Then, plugged the other one into the wall socket near the TV setup. Hooked the Laptop up to it and configured the Ethernet connection. Speed? Unbelieveable. I went to [@] and did a speed test and I'm getting readings off the meter with my highest-speed Comcast connection.I just bought another pair to hook up my Wife's laptop and my Son's laptop. Eventually I'll get a couple more pairs and expand my wired network even more.FYI - I know I can upgrade the wireless to N, but the equipment that accesses it (Laptops, TiVo, etc.) all use G so that would be useless.NOTE: Using the provided utility that comes on the CD, you can set up your own encryption key and see all of the units on the grid and their throughput speeds in real time.

Not quite as advertised
By SactownVerified Buyer from Sacramento, CA on 5/28/2009
Pros:
Easy To Install, Fast, Reliable
Cons:
Slow

Bottom Line:

Comments about Netgear Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter kit:

This is easy to use, right out of the box, and required the barest minimum of set up to use right away. Speed throughput is slower than expected, better than the lower end 85s but not close to the rated 200 I was expecting (new house, clean electrical lines, minimal interference). It generally transfers multimedia files ok but has trouble with larger movie files and Netflix Instant movies. Seems to work fine with Xbox live, which is a plus, since I had occasional problems with the Netgear 85s. I give it a 4, it is the only game in town after all, but I wish it was as fast as it was rated to be.

Comments about Netgear Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter kit:

I used the adapters to connect my PC with my HD TV so I could use the ON DEMAND feature of my provider. I plugged the adapter into the outlet behind the big screen and connected it to my DVR with the provided ethernet cable and then did the same with my PC modem. I turned on the TV and used the menu to tell it to connect to the network and it was done literally in seconds. Slick.
