i bought this model av1200 last month and find it sufficient to do in-house game-streaming.
av2000 could be overkill?
You will never get up to 2000mbps transfer rate. Not even close. Here is a review which explains a little more.
FYI this model didn't fair very well at all.

if wireless vendors can advertise the obscene rates they do, then i guess they can do the same thing on EoP adapters :)
The specs and claims of the performance of most networking equipment is always theoretical and not always representative of the real world. Same can be said of modems, routers, even high end server network cards.
The TP Link PA9020P is currently the fastest on the market out of the AV2000 adapters and that's even though you won't ever achieve 2000mbps marketing figure. It is also the only AV2000 adapter I know that offers a passthrough on it for connecting another item to the power point.

and filter the AV2000 in the Amazon reviews-

Heads up this only works for power plugs on the same switch circuit. In almost all cases, you won't be able to use this on multiple house levels.
I learned this the hard way with one of their slower models. Worked really well when on the same circuit.
This was true for my previous attempts with AV200 and AV500 units. They worked well on the same circuit but although they could 'see' a unit on another circuit, they could not transmit data. I bought a pair of TP-Link AV1200s a week ago and they were very different. The TP-Link utility shows transfer rates of 496Mbps on the same circuit (between the middle and top floor of my 10yo three story house) and 90Mbps on the other circuit (between the middle and ground floors) which previously did not work at all. Not so great but enough to stream HD movies.
I was so impressed that I have bought a TL-PA9020P AV2000 kit in this sale which I will pick up tomorrow, hoping for even better performance, despite reading one review that said their tests showed the AV2000 kit to be slower that the AV1200 kit. Time will tell…..
BTW, from what I have read, every house will produce different results because of differences in wiring, distance between units and possible 'noisy' appliances on the circuits etc.
Any chance you could tell us how you go with av2000 ? I too have a need to traverse multi levels and circuits.
Would also like to know how you go
I do love the theoretical 2000mbps setting…. Ive tried netcomm, western dig, elcheapo kogan ones and tplink always come out on top for the powerline setup and consistent throughput.
