About NETGEAR Powerline adapter 2000 Mbps (2) Gigabit Ethernet Ports
Overall Feedback:
92% positive
81% liked the compact and durable design
I compared the build quality of Netgear PLP2000 with Zyxels PLA5456 and found that Zyxels product maintained 33 to 35 MB/s in neighboring room but fell off dramatically with mixed with legacy devices at a distance (3-4 MB/s).
87% found it easy to set up and install
I bought four units and found the installation easy out-of-the-box with no loss of speed compared with direct cable connection to the router.
87% found the network speed to be fast and reliable, but 13% experienced slow speeds
I used the website speedtest.net and got the following speeds with the Netgear adapter: Ethernet connection - 120Mbps / Wi-fi - 82Mbps.
On my baseline network tests, I compared the network speed of the device and found that the average speed was 983Mbps on wired and 583Mbps on 802.11ac (5GHz band).
I got an average speed of 50Mb/s for both local network and internet speed.
The actual throughput is much lower than the advertised speed. I measured specific numbers.
87% praised the extended range and coverage, but 13% experienced dropped signals
I have expanded wifi ranges throughout my home using traditional wifi extenders, which marginally though unpredictably improved coverage and speed.
I am getting 50+ Mb throughout upstairs compared to the 75 or so direct in the family room from the main router, which demonstrates the range and coverage of the powerline-network-adapters.
I had to add network and password to all my devices while trying to connect to extended range.
I tried various extenders but they all claimed to add thousands of square footage in coverage. The best could only provide a weak signal.
