This AV1000 compliant adapter kit is priced lower than my favourite TP-Link AV2000 kit, and while it doesn't have as many nice features (like dual ethernet ports and power-pass through socket), it is slightly more compact than the TP-Link and its should be cheap enough to for first time users to try and see if powerline networking is a suitable replacement for (sometimes) spotty wifi.

Next best price is $105 from MSY. It's not everyday you see MSY selling stuff for more expensive than big box retail store.

Product Blurb:

Extend your wired Internet access to any room in your house using your existing electrical wiring. Just plug the Powerline 1000 into any electrical outlet then plug in your device into the adapter.

    Do these work via a surge protector?

    • scrimshaw on 04/06/2018 - 10:15

      You're not supposed to plug these into surge protectors or extension cords as that worsens performance.

      • Scab on 04/06/2018 - 10:39

        Thought so, thanks.

      • ricodbn on 04/06/2018 - 10:40

        Potentially worsens but does work still.

      • Stahh on 04/06/2018 - 13:19

        Power boards, surge protectors wont work but extensions leads work fine by my testing.

    • et tu brute on 04/06/2018 - 10:44

      No. These units need to be primarily plugged directly to the power point and should NOT EVER be secondary via power boards, extension leads, surge protectors etc.

      I have used these types of units for years (TP-Link). My preference are for adapters with ac power pass through where you plug the adapter directly to the ac power outlet, then you plug your power board etc. into the adapter.

      Also, get the most powerful you can afford. The maximum speeds quoted are a bit of a furthy and are only indicative of what they can achieve in a peak scenario in a lab. There are plenty of reviews around that have test benched these units and will tell you what their actual throughput speeds are. They are meant to be used where needs are modest. Fine for general internet use, standard Netflix streaming, but don't expect them to meet the performance demands of HD, UltraHD 4K streaming, gaming etc.

      • Boertjie on 04/06/2018 - 10:47

        So, i can plug one unit in where my router is. Run a network cable int unit then have another unit around 10 meters away with the wireless plugged in. Am i understanding this correctly?

      • Scab on 04/06/2018 - 11:13

        extension leads

        I can understand surge protectors as they have electronics, but I don't get extension leads.

        They're just wire and no different to your home's electrical wiring.

        Not doubting anyone, just don't get why they would cause problems.

        • m9 on 04/06/2018 - 11:40

          Wire gauge and larger conductor size.

        • Scab on 04/06/2018 - 11:46

          @m9:

          The lead's conductors are no different to power plug conductors, and they're only 25mm long.

          Also, the extension lead wire is not a heavier gauge than in-wall electrical wiring.

  • Boertjie on 04/06/2018 - 10:27

    Are these the same as the foxtel ones?

    • et tu brute on 04/06/2018 - 10:56

      They supply el-cheapo units abd would operate identically. From memory the units Foxtel supply do not have ac power pass-through. If Foxtel ever start 4k streaming they would become redundant.

      • Boertjie on 04/06/2018 - 11:34

        Thanks very much. Was looking for a cheaper alternative to "extend" my wireless range".

        • mmustica on 04/06/2018 - 13:40

          I use my Foxtel one and it is currently connected at like 13mbps, which is about the maximum speed I get with my ADSL2 connection. However, it definitely needs to be on the same circuit otherwise performance significantly decreases

  • butter on 04/06/2018 - 10:39

    How reliable is the connection? Is it ad good as a real cat5 connection?

    • et tu brute on 04/06/2018 - 10:53

      I have used these for years. They are great if you live in rental accommodation and have modest speed demands for them. Also good if you have an upstairs/downstairs scenario where it is expensive to fit-out ethernet cabling. They also need to run off the same power circuit in the house. They do not, and never will have the performance of ethernet be it Cat5, Cat6 etc.

      Be very wary of performance speeds quoted on the box. These speeds are only achieved in the laboraty unter peak conditions.

      • butter on 04/06/2018 - 16:45

        Hmm… Same circuit? 5hats going to be tough…. Especially when you're talking upstairs/ downstairs. Very unlikely to be the same circuit.

    • scrimshaw on 04/06/2018 - 10:55

      They are not for situations where you could run a 'real' and direct CAT5 connection. If you could run a cable from your router to every PC to your home, you won't need powerline products.

      Powerline adapters work by piggybacking your electrical wires to deliver data from one end to the other… explained by Linus here.

  • SoylentGreen on 04/06/2018 - 12:53

    Is it good enough for a security camera out in the shed?

  • norkle on 05/06/2018 - 07:40

    Are these small enough to allow something to be used adjacent to it on a dual electrical outlet?

    • butter on 05/06/2018 - 09:26

      I just picked mine up. No way, they're pretty big.

      • norkle on 05/06/2018 - 09:39

        Wew, I was just in ebay checkout when you said that. Thanks!

        Weird though - I noticed in the product pictures its shown on one side of a dual outlet.

        • butter on 05/06/2018 - 10:02

          Sorry I just realised that I was commenting about the tp link av2000 one. Not sure about this one.

        • norkle on 05/06/2018 - 12:17

          @sabaramo: Yeah, the AV2000 are huge and why I asked about these. At least the AV2000 have a passthrough power socket - these don't, so why I asked.

  • LGW on 07/06/2018 - 21:06

    Hi I've currently got a pair of tplink av1200 and was wondering if I can use this netgear one on the same circuit?

    • et tu brute on 08/06/2018 - 15:24

      Check the specs for each product. Most brands are compatible to one standard (I a have no details at hand) so it is wise to check beforehand. I have seen situations where there have been a mix of products from the major brands so I am assuming that they are all working off the same standard.
