Wait so you get 2 of them adapter things, one you put in the outlet and plug it into your computer/console. And the other adapter goes downstairs and into the router right?
Hey TheEngineeringFamily! Can you or anyone else tell me what is the thing called? What cable is running above the Powerline adapter (the greyish one). Watch at or after 0:57 minutes please. I need the know the wall plate, the socket in which you plugged the Powerline adapter,the socket in which the greyish category 5e kinda cable, the cable itself .
I have had very good result with these adapters. I actually bought the pass through plug version to avoid losing a socket and then plugged the extension strip into that. Manufacturers recommend that you don't plug powerline adapter into a strip as this may slow it down, especially if it has a surge protection. I had a poor wifi signal for my lap top in the basement of an old stone house. Using the powerlione adapters has made all the difference. I am not technically minded but had them up and running in minutes. They are literally plug and play, no software or intricate setting up required.
I am getting google fiber I am thinking about getting one of these but 1gps or should I just get my house wired because it’s an old house but I don’t know if the previous owners have rewired the house
I finally figured it out - but can't explain it. My model number is Powerline 500 +WiFi. Thanks for your concern. BTW does it make a difference where/which unit is plugged. I have the "big" (three vertical lights at top) unit plugged into the computer output side? Bill
I live next door to my parents,who are getting fibre bband very soon. We're on the same electrical circuit being about 70 meters apart.can I use this or tp link into my home for general Web use and for the ps4?thanks in advance
I got this and ditched the slinglink turbo 1. I got the powerline nano 200. I get about 14.5-16.5 mbps to my PS3 when I plug my ps3 directly into my router I constantly get 20mbps.
YES! I had wireless A 600 modem supports 750 and it would get at best a down rate of 28 mbps on OOKLA I use this and I get 48 mbps down rate leave wifi in the dust.
You plugged your second unit into the tv. I have the same netgear kit (without instructions) and have been told to plug the second unit into the HD receiver. Any thoughts?
My brother and i are in the same room and i was wondering if i buy one and he buys one is there going to be any interference? Also the one i was planning to purchase has multiple ethernet ports so am i able to just use one to supple both Playstation 4's with it? Thanks.
How reliable are these devices? I ask these questions, for I've read some bad reviews at amazon, and I don't want to waste money. Most of the bad reviews claim that just after a few month of usage the speed drops and in some cases the devices fail completely including the more expensive Netgear devices. Anyhow, thank you for your video. Reply
orestesdd I have been using a tp link power line for a year and it has been really good you get really close to what your internet speed is and I haven't had any problems with it
Can i use this for my ps4? My bedroom is upstairs and i play online wireless while the router is downstairs in the living room and i dont want to connect a long ethernet cable from wall to wall it won look nice.
so you need a internet service provider to use internet over power line?? I thought it was it's own service provider. I wanted another option other than dsl or cable oh well.
So far everyone I have seen are totally enclosed with no way to really cool off and often they get very hot. I am tempted to take one apart and mod it in a way with a heatsink.
+TheDanielb554 Are there any obstructions in between your powerline connectors? Particularly anything with a heavy motor load? Look for anything that could potentially disrupt the signal.
+Ace TroubleShooter Hi Ace, nothing on the circuit that cant be avoided as its travelling from a downstairs to upstairs socket. Looks like I will have to soldier on for now. Thanks for the reply. Dan.
I have the 200mbps one and it’s so stupid I plugged both in and they both have a red light over the power line symbol and it’s been like that for 2 fricken weeks, 2 WEEKS and it took me 5 minutes to get this video up and it didn’t help one bit so if you can help me can you make a video on how to fix it
These devices add biologically disruptive frequencies to your homes wiring, also known as dirty electricity. Some think these are the lesser of two evils compared to wifi, but I would just use ethernet and stop gambling with your family's health.
So if your internet plan is only 3mbps and if you connect this device to your router then connect the second device to your Xbox, it will enhance your mbps for the whole house or just the Xbox?
LNA PREZ 432 some powerline kits have witless cababilities so you can connect more than 1 device, also some have more than 1 ethernet port so more devices can be added
+Edralyn Fronda Some Tv's may not have that option. Do you have a laptop or pc nearby? Connect your powerline adapter to one of those and go to Speedtest.net to test your Internet speeds.
Same! I'm not sure if it's my PS4 exclusively having a problem, but all I know is I go into my PS4 settings and try to set up my LAN connection and it'll obtain the IP Address but when it gets to "Internet Connection" it fails.
Hi, my Internet package is 30 Mbps, I wanted to purchase powerline adapter but some of them has written on it 300Mbps, 500mbps, 1200mbps and etc. How much do I need if my internet package in 30Mbps?
Nsa backdoor right into your devices nice..
Wait so you get 2 of them adapter things, one you put in the outlet and plug it into your computer/console. And the other adapter goes downstairs and into the router right?
What is your internet actually rated as?
They make them much slimmer now.

is this faster then just connecting to your wifi wirelessly
please like so it gets answered
Which wifi do you have? Wireless A, C, G, N?
Personally yes but I've only tested it on my ps4
YES! I had wireless A 600 modem supports 750 and it would get at best a down rate of 28 mbps on OOKLA I use this and I get 48 mbps down rate leave wifi in the dust.

This must be how your microwave spies on you. I heard Art Bell talk about this years ago.

+Kagerasimaru Switches prevent stitches
This thing has a very crappy power save function that is nearly impossible to turn off. I hate this thing.
I have the equivalent speeds to dial up its nor but speeds are same I have windstream any one know if it'll work
I mean really these things are amazing. I get 66mbps from it anywhere in the house. My speed is at 60 from the ISP
flexor212000 Sweet! Thanks for sharing!
***** I should say I'm not using these particular ones. i'm using TPLinks and they are 200mbps. But I still get speeds topped out.
Can I play xbox or pc multiplayer fast with this or is it better to just connect a Ethernet cable to my router and use that
Does this work with Comcast gateway router bc Comcast sucks
Fast internet, unreliable though
I wanna know too

GeneralCookie does it really need to be plugged to the wall socket directly ? Why cannot I use a power strip ?
Mohamad Younis ya it has to be plugged in directly
GeneralCookie since it needs to be connected to the router , so it will be kind of impossible to have 2 wall sockets next to each other , any advise ?
I have one plugged into a surge protector strip on the receiving side (not the one connected to the router) and it has always worked well.
Do the outlets have to be on the same circuit? Or will the signal run through all breakers in the house?
Do the outlets have to be on the same circuit? Or will the signal run through all breakers in the house?
I just want 0 ping brook
So from my understanding their is an unlimited range as long it is on your circuit?
will this work if one side was in another building or one end was in another building
Would you suggest using something like this for an apartment?
Can i use this for my ps4? My bedroom is upstairs and i play online wireless while the router is downstairs in the living room and i dont want to connect a long ethernet cable from wall to wall it won look nice.
Vira Lurnam That should work fine. If you have multiple devices in your bedroom you can connect it to a network switch.
It doesn't work well with Verizon DSL or DSL in general
Can I plug cord from PS4 to the old phone plug in tjingy
so you need a internet service provider to use internet over power line?? I thought it was it's own service provider. I wanted another option other than dsl or cable oh well.
Carroll Ware You can't just plug it into the wall and magically have internet... Of course it will work without a internet service provider over LAN.
Does this make it secure. When you work at home, you want to be "hardwired"
does it only work on a netgear router or it can be any other router?
So far everyone I have seen are totally enclosed with no way to really cool off and often they get very hot.
I am tempted to take one apart and mod it in a way with a heatsink.
Put a video up for when u do that
Seems more like a wireless range extender that plugs in through ethernet.
can i plug this in an extension cords? will this still work the same as you plugged into the wall outlet?
Not complaining or anything but has anyone else found these powerline devices slow?
so you have this one in your wall. but I have my pc in a powerstrip, but that shouldn't matter right?
do you pay a monthly bill for the interent?
I have to do a power strip so can you help me I just got my pc and this for Christmas
quick question, do they require firmware upgrade or update? and if they do how do i go about that? i have the same model like yours.
Not that i know of
wow 3.2 is very slow.
My speeds through the powerline are no where near the speeds of my broadband any ideas why?.
It's plugged in @ the wall as you said.
Thanks.
+TheDanielb554 Are there any obstructions in between your powerline connectors? Particularly anything with a heavy motor load? Look for anything that could potentially disrupt the signal.
+Ace TroubleShooter Hi Ace, nothing on the circuit that cant be avoided as its travelling from a downstairs to upstairs socket. Looks like I will have to soldier on for now. Thanks for the reply.
Dan.
I wonder if it would work if you can plug in the modem instead of the router?
+jeff scott Yes you can.
I have the 200mbps one and it’s so stupid I plugged both in and they both have a red light over the power line symbol and it’s been like that for 2 fricken weeks, 2 WEEKS and it took me 5 minutes to get this video up and it didn’t help one bit so if you can help me can you make a video on how to fix it
These devices add biologically disruptive frequencies to your homes wiring, also known as dirty electricity. Some think these are the lesser of two evils compared to wifi, but I would just use ethernet and stop gambling with your family's health.
what is you regular internet speed? does it slow it down any?
Mine goes quite slow
Does the outlet with the wifi device have to be on the same circuit as the adapter?
This doesn't use wifi. It uses the electrical circuit and is totally wired. I use them because I'm sensitive to wifi.
can i use this for a computer that can only use ethernet cable
+swaggin12 69 from directky from the adapter
Good
Will it be near the same speeds as if I were to stand near my router?
+harryhazza3 You should. But it all depends on the wiring and age of your home. Don't worry, you can always return it if it doesn't work.
so if you're using this to play Xbox and somebody else is using the wifi, it will reduce the lag for the xbox?
yes
can it work for different houses
***** oh ok
+Michael Angelo go about can one sender work with multiple receivers
it work just fine thank you. it really help watching the video.
great!
my house is over 100 years old with old knob knob
tube wiring , this still worked great
Sweet!!
Can we wireless conect this?
+Saitama thats an extender, they are useless
yes... if you plug another wirelss router on the other end
can someone help me?
when i use the computer i got 80mbps and when i connect it i get 20 mbps
how can i fix this isue?
Thank you for the information! This helped me a lot!
You are welcome!
Is this good use for gaming
Excellent because the connection will be very good.
yo how moch it cost
Anakin chenier mine cost 70 bucks but it is 1,000 Mbps and came with 2 Ethernet cords
So if your internet plan is only 3mbps and if you connect this device to your router then connect the second device to your Xbox, it will enhance your mbps for the whole house or just the Xbox?
I am thinking just the XBox.
Okay, thank you and thank you for replying.
LNA PREZ 432 some powerline kits have witless cababilities so you can connect more than 1 device, also some have more than 1 ethernet port so more devices can be added
Can I run the other end into another router in the house, so that I can have 2 connected routers?
+Chaza124XD watch the video again. he covers that question
Can you please instruct us on how to find the speed test on your tv?
thank you.
+Edralyn Fronda Some Tv's may not have that option. Do you have a laptop or pc nearby? Connect your powerline adapter to one of those and go to Speedtest.net to test your Internet speeds.
I can't get this to work on my ps4
Same! I'm not sure if it's my PS4 exclusively having a problem, but all I know is I go into my PS4 settings and try to set up my LAN connection and it'll obtain the IP Address but when it gets to "Internet Connection" it fails.
+RyandBurtson go on the Internet browser on your ps4 and it should take you to a login website
+BeenThuggen No good, mate. :/
+RyandBurtson did you do lan cable connection?
+BeenThuggen yeeeup.
So you have to have a internet provider before you actually use the powerline adapter
BiZzArE GaMeR YEs.
BiZzArE GaMeR Obviously.... Internet service is not free.
norge696 Loooooool 😂 😂
BiZzArE GaMeR Wow
+BiZzArE GaMeR Lolwut?
My Netgear Powerline adapter runs hot to the touch, is that normal?
+BIll Ligon What's the model number? You may have a dated device.
Hi, my Internet package is 30 Mbps, I wanted to purchase powerline adapter but some of them has written on it 300Mbps, 500mbps, 1200mbps and etc. How much do I need if my internet package in 30Mbps?
That is a good question...have you googled it?
The higher, the better because they'll pump a more powerful signal into your wall and limit latency as much as possible.
Thanks.
How long are the ethernet cables that come with it? Thank you.
Will it still work through a surge protector?
Yes
Max Caboti-Jones no mine doesn't work
Diy
This is a trash tutorial. Idc.
