Customer Reviews

  • Better than wireless, but don't expect too much


    By AGG2AFEAHUCX5 on 2006-11-09
    As most people have found with powerline ethernet, performance will depend a lot on house wiring. When I plug the two units into the same outlet, I get great, near 100BT rates (5-8MB/s). When moved across the house, this drops to 10BT rates (0.5-1 MB/s). However, unlike wireless (802.11g), these rates are very consistent and reliable. A sensible (if expensive) alternative to wireless for desktop computers.

    This product is trivially easy to use. No software; it works just like a wire. (It does have some encryption capability that I didn't use -- that should only be needed in apartments with shared electrical systems.)

    For those who care, my setup is a cable modem connected to a Netgear 624SC wireless router, and a network of 4 desktop Macs (iMacs G5 and Core2, two beige G3s) and an old white iBook. I also extend the wireless (for the laptop only!) using an old Netgear 614 router. The Appletalk file sharing seemed especially sensitive to the wireless flakiness, and is now rock solid.

  • Poor performance if 20-30' from router


    By A2NZO00N18EUB9 on 2006-12-04
    I found that if you place this device in a diferent room from the router the performance drops considerably. I have a new home so the wiring is good and I only got about 11% of my original speed by putting the second device about 20'+ from my office to the great room. I called Netgear CR and this is a common experience.

  • Great design and performance


    By A2TSEMR6PLQP98 on 2007-02-18
    I have to say I'm very pleased with the product. I have two units connected on 2 different circuits and the performance is great- 50-60Mbps.
    My building does have new electric wiring so perhaps it helps too.


    The heat issue doesn't exist- the units feel barely lukewarm to the touch. And the 4-port switch is sweet- no extra power supplies, no wires. Great design indeed !

    My only complain is that software is a bit flaky, seems to freeze and I couldn't change the password to anything but default. But the software is really not necessary anyway- it is a hardware solution. I plugged the units in and they worked !


  • Great product


    By A1LX5Z74MDN60G on 2006-11-10
    I used this when the wireless had a huge dead spot. Allot easier than running CAT5. Plus it gives you flexibility to move.

  • Excellent - performance as promised


    By A2XXVNTN0ZIRZH on 2006-11-11
    I used this product to replace troublesome RF-based wireless connection between my cable modem in my office and my wife's computer in the kitchen. The RF connection was spotty, weak, and undependable, despite trying various brands and configurations of RF routers.

    The Netgear 104G was simple, and produced an uninterrupted, steady, strong, and fast internet connection. Yay!
