Netgear Powerline Wifi 1000 (PLW1000)

We live in a very long apartment and getting wifi to every corner was impossible with a single router. Mounting it in the centre resulted in poor strength at each end where the entertainment systems are. I moved the main router to one end of the apartment and set this up at the other end. It connected easily and we now have excellent reception everywhere. I wish I had bought it sooner. Quality is great and configuration is easy with the provided instructions.

Set up this device in <15 mins (do read the quick setup guide) - easy peasy. It instantly increased download/upload speeds from a glacial 1.47/1.37Mbps (i.e. too slow for reliable WFH / Zoom calls) to 24.8/4.07Mbps (i.e. seamless WFH / Zoom calls). Note: use the ethernet cable to wire the smaller box to your router, and *either* use the other ethernet cable to physically connect the larger box (with aerials) to your computer *or* don't and go wireless. Note: as per the user guide, *don't* plug the devices into an extension cord or the signal dilutes too much to be useful. This device has solved the problem of how to get fast internet out to a re-locatable and insulated 'garden office' located 20m from the main house. Recommend.

I bought this to support a Foxtel IQ box which is out of range of my wifi in an older house with brick walls. The speed was <5mbps even though my router runs at about 50mbps. I gave it the benefit of the doubt as we have three phase power and moved it to our country property where I had another requirement, to connect from a modem in the house to the farm shed. This is a very simple single phase power system with a heavy duty underground line to the shed. Got about 2mbps at the shed (20mbps at the farm router). The total circuit distance of cable is less than 100m and there is one RCD device at the house bpard. These things are supposed to work up to 300m. They do not. I solved my IQ issue with a three pack of TP-LInk Deco which works very well (negligible loss of ... MoreI bought this to support a Foxtel IQ box which is out of range of my wifi in an older house with brick walls.
