Solved my home networking issue
The purpose of this product is to transmit computer networking traffic through standard household electrical wiring. WiFi in my rented house was not working well between floors. I have no knowledge of the condition of the wiring in this house, but I knew I couldn't run a cat5 cable through the floor, so I thought that this might be a good alternative. Synchronization between the two devices was very quick, and setting up the wifi capability to clone my current network was so easy that I accidentally completed the process before I decided that was the route I wanted to go. It did take a couple of minutes to get the cat5 connection to establish an Internet connection. But once I confirmed it on a laptop I plugged it in to a rather old and no longer supported streaming media box to get ...

It did take a couple of minutes to get the cat5 connection to establish an Internet connection. But once I confirmed it on a laptop I plugged it in to a rather old and no longer supported streaming media box to get Netflix in our guest room and it works great. Had one event where the house lost power and the devices did not automatically re-sync when power was restored, but I just turned them off and on again and they clicked right into place. This is a very fast and economical solution if you are experiencing wifi "dead zones" in your house and your home's electrical wiring can support it. It doesn't require drilling any holes or even much of a knowledge of computer networking. It might not work in very old homes, but if your home electrical wiring conforms to current codes then you should be fine.

Good product, but incompatible with other brands
In itself this is a good Netgear product. However, there are multiple compatibility issues: - If you have a prior Powerline network created with a different brand, Netgear units don't play well with it, even if it's Homeplus AV compliant (I've spent hours on online forums, and I'm not the only one to have these issues). I simply had to abandon the previous Zyxel units (sigh!) since I needed the wireless extender capability of Netgear XWN5001 more at this point. - It DOES NOT work right out of the box like it should. For example, you are supposed to have a NETGEAR_EXT SSID available right away, with WiFi either (a) Disabled, or (b) with a WiFi security code, or (c) with a WiFi passphrase written on the back of the XWN5001 unit - depending on which part of the manual you want to believe. ...

In any case, none of them work! Just use the WPS on your broadband router to replicate the SSID. That's the only way I could get it to work. - Config utility or what they call Netgear Genie will not work on Mac - be aware if you are a Mac-only household - Documentation is confusing and conflicting - one example given above. There are multiple ones. All in all, this took way longer than it should have. When I first bought my Zyxel units years ago, it took me literally one minute to do the setup. Netgear has a long way to go in that regard.

Not great
The center signal light goes from green to amber frequently, tried different outlets and had similar results. It meant the power line is not nearly as good as ethernet connections. The wireless output was only about half the speed of that from the router. It is better than nothing if the router can't reach certain area of the house. But there are other solutions, like moving the router to a more central location or replacing the router antenna with more powerful antennas.

Not getting but 50mpbs with 150mbps
In a small apartment I am only getting around 50mpbs with these connected to a Belkin AC1900 router with a 150Mbps download. The upload is fine at 25Mbps but the download is terrible. The wifi is the same speeds. I had an ActionTek brand that worked better but only lasted 1 week before it fried. These things get really hot just an FYI. I paid 20$ for it on ebay and wish I hadn't as my Wifi from my router works better than these. I get around 60 - 90Mpbs with my wireless so these are slightly slower than my previous setup. I guess the wireless access point is worth it just in case I guess. In a small apartment I am only getting around 50mpbs with these connected to a Belkin AC1900 router with a 150Mbps download.
