These are larger and have better prongs than the old 500mbs version...They "stick" in the outlets better as they are 3 prong, not 2 prong like the old ones...I'm sure that results in a better connection... I also went from 62 Mbps (that's megaBIT, btw, not megaBYTE, a bit is 1/8 th of a byte, so 62Mbps = 8 megs or so) on Comcast's "up to 150 meg" level of service to the maximum I've seen on Speedtest.net, which is 120 Mbps...Which is all I wanted/expected... So what did I do to install them? Since I was already using "ActionTec" 500 mbps, I had one device in the living room, plugged into the outlet and plugged directly into the router/modem...(combo device)...Then the second unit was plugged into the wall (same wall in the house, but IDK if, as some people say, the signal has to go back to the main panel, then back out, I don't believe it does) in my office and my computer was connected to it via Ethernet...And that's it...It is literally plug and play... They DO come with two ethernet cables, but I haven't used them, so I can't attest to their quality, or length...I think they are 6'. I can say they are white... You also get some lights on each device...3 green lights means everything is working properly... In the several years I've had the ActionTec 500mbps devices, I've never had any problems that I could trace back to the powerline adapters...I hope to have the same experience with these... Review: An easy, effective solution to weak home WiFi - We had an issue where, for some reason or other, our PlayStation 4 was having difficulty connecting via WiFi to the Internet or maintaining a connection or maintaining a *strong* connection. Hulu, as many of you know, is the most notorious video app on the PS4 while streaming. Lag, lag, lag. Anyhow, I did some googling while trying to figure out a stress free, cost effective solution when someone on a forum mentioned the word Powerline. I was actually googling for Wi-Fi extenders but Powerline caught my attention. And to be honest, I’m a little old-school and I prefer a wired connection over Wi-Fi. This is the best of both worlds because I didn’t have to run ugly cables all over the house to the PS4 from the router, which is all the way across the house. All I had to do was plug in to an electrical outlet one of the units near the router, connect them with the network cable (2 are provided), and then walked over to the PlayStation and did the same there. That was it. Very, very easy set up. Everything was up and running within seconds. Tested the connection with Hulu. Absolutely zero lag. Works like a charm; I’m very happy with this purchase. ## Features - Use your existing electrical wiring to extend your Internet access to any room in your house. - Homeplug AV2 technology supports Gigabit speeds through your electrical outlets for improved coverage - Extremely fast speeds-up to 1000Mbps, Perfect for connecting smart TVs, streaming players & game consoles - Ideal for 4K HD streaming & lag-free gaming, Connect multiple adapters to expand your wired network coverage - Sets up in minutes, no need to install software and secures the network connection with the touch of a button - Encrypts Power line network connections with the touch of a button keeping your network secure - Plug and Play - Set up in minutes, no need to configure or install software - Input power: 100V ~ 240V, 50/60 Hz.

Can I use these new Powerline 100's with the old one?

Or does it come a pair?** A: It is a pair. Everything you need is included. **Q: Do you need a wps button for this to work my router does not have a wps button?** A: This is a wired solution; WPS is to synchronize wireless connections.

I had one a the router and two in separate rooms. I was really impressed with how simple setup was and with how fast they were in receiving and sending data. Over the course of about 8-12 months I began to loose the ones used as a sender. I'm still not sure if it was due to power surges or power drops, but once I got down to just 2 units, I decided to pull the plug. it's just a little pricey to replace every year. This is a darn shame because it was very convenient. (Decided to hard wire high speed through the attic instead.) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/22920106-netgear-powerline-1000-mbps-1-gigabit-port-essentials-edition-pl1010](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/22920106-netgear-powerline-1000-mbps-1-gigabit-port-essentials-edition-pl1010) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-10-26*
