5.0 out of 5 starsWorks as advertised, ideal for web surfing but not high volume file transfers
By Lon J. Seidman TOP 100 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on June 22, 2012
Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )
Length: 2:37 Mins
In a nutshell: I plugged one into an ethernet switch and the other to a computer I set up in the kitchen and it worked beautifully. Zero configuration, no button pushing, just an instantaneous low latency connection to my home network. I'm impressed.

While the device is capable of 100 megabits in each direction, you're likely to get less than that speed. Mine came back 'red' meaning I was getting less than 50 megabits per second. But considering most home Internet connections max out around 20 megabits or so you should see the full range of speed of your Internet connection. As such this is perfect for Blu Ray players, game consoles, DVRs, and other devices that require a dedicated ethernet connection. In some cases you may see better peformance out of this than you do out of your wireless connection.

Recommendation: For Internet usage definitely. Not recommended for high volume data transfers like video editing, etc.

4.0 out of 5 starsEasy Plug & Play, fast, and secure alternative to WiFi networking.
By Diligent Shopper on May 23, 2012
Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )
Using power outlets to connect to or expand a home/office network is simple and convenient. This newer version of Netgear's Powerline AV 200 "Nano" adapter kit (XAVB2101) piqued my interest because I've used the NETGEAR Powerline AV 200 "Ultra" Adapter Kit (XAVB2001) since August 2010.

Likes:
>All Netgear Powerline adapters are backwards compatible with older models.
>Connect to all devices with Ethernet connections (those without built-in Wi-Fi capability).
>Very simple installation for the Nano (just like the Ultra) : Plug one Ethernet cable into a network modem or router, plug the other end into a Powerline AV 200 adapter that's plugged into an electrical outlet. DON'T plug the adapter into a surge protector or power strip outlet; signal will be degraded or it won't work at all.

Plug another Powerline adapter into another outlet (in the same building) wherever you choose. Connect via Ethernet cable to your computer, Xbox360, PS3, Blu-Ray player, TiVo, Slingbox, DVR, or broadband capable Smart TV, etc. Voilà, home network connection and the Internet.

No software installation, no setups, and no configurations necessary. A Resource CD is included if you want to bother with it.

Three lights: Power, Powerline (indicates network connectivity and signal strength), and Ethernet (broadband traffic). Green lights mean optimal conditions for all three.
>Easy to expand home network without the shortcomings of WiFi network (interference with other wireless devices using the same 2.4Ghz frequency, security concerns even with WPA, degradation of signals due to range or obstructions, etc.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat for a gamer
By Ayush Sobti on July 25, 2013

As a gamer, far more important than this device maintaining good speeds across the powerline was that it maintain good latency (ping times). I'm happy to report that I get nearly the same ping times connected to this device in another room as I did when connected directly to my router.

I connected my laptop (Win8, wi-fi turned off, Comcast internet) and ran a speedtest (speedtest(dot)net) against a server in a neighboring city:

Connected directly to my router: 19ms ping, 55.45mbps(down), 11.04mbps(up)
Connected to the Netgear Powerline AV 200 Nano: 22ms ping, 52.90mbps(down), 10.87mbps(up)

Setup, of course, is incredibly easy and takes all of 30 seconds.

Hope this helps someone - when I was looking to buy this, I was looking for latency numbers but couldn't find any.

PS - I have both Adapters connected to a Belkin surge protector. You do not have to plug this directly into a wall.

5.0 out of 5 starsAWESOME!! Fantastic alternative to Ethernet cords running all around your home.
By A. Karlsson on November 8, 2012
Verified Purchase
This is a great alternative to stringing Ethernet cable across your home.

I currently have 2 sets (4 devices in my home). The efficacy of Ethernet over Power (EoP) is largely based on the wiring of your home. These are plug and play devices and should require no real setup. The biggest 'rookie' mistake when using these devices is to have them plugged into a surge protector. You MUST plug these directly into the wall for them to work properly. MUST MUST MUST MUST. If you have issues beyond that, it is either due to poor wiring (you live in a v old home) or you do not have your networking devices configured properly. I have never had an issue with a Netgear EoP device. Never!!

I use Apple networking devices and I use Ethernet connections via EoP to create a roaming network. You could create a roaming network via wireless connections BUT you lose network speed when you do this AND you could be in a situation like mine where your networking devices are too far apart to talk to each other wirelessly.

This is my current set up:

I have 1 Time Warner Cable Modem which is plugged into an Apple Time Capsule. The Apple Time Capsule is my primary Wi-Fi Base Station.

I have 1 Ethernet port from Apple Time Capsule plugged into the back of the Netgear EoP device (1 of 4). The Netgear EoP device is plugged DIRECTLY INTO THE WALL. YOU MUST PLUG THIS DEVICE DIRECTLY INTO THE WALL. You should NEVER plug this into a surge protector or extension cord. (This is v important!)

From here, I have Netgear EoP device 2,3,4 in various locations of my home. Device 2 and 3 plug into separate Apple Airport Express devices that extend my wireless network throughout my home.Read more ›
