G.hn Powerline Ethernet Adapter with Power Over Ethernet (PoE) – 1200Mbps Phy Rate, IEEE 802.3af, Powerline Networking for Streaming and Gaming - Single Device (GPL-1200PoE)

We previously used a set of power over Ethernet (POE) 1200 AV2 type adapters to provide internet in our workshop which is 400 feet from our house for which the signal had to go through two electrical breaker boxes. This adapter set worked ok, but everytime the shop lights or electrical equipment was used electrical noise disrupted the signal. Due to having issues with receiving WIFI in a studio in our house, we decided to update the current POE to the Nexuslink Wave 2 G.hn Powerline Adapter. After reading all of the reviews associated with 2 G.hn technology it was hoped that this would provide better throughput in our studio and the workshop. Specifically, one adapter is connected in a A/C outlet next to the router in one end of our house, the 2nd is connected at the other end of the house in the studio, and the third is connected in the workshop. Setup was simple. After plugging in one after the other and ensuring each are connected properly, I pushed the security button on the adapter near the router first for 10 seconds, then repeated the process for the other two adapters. The one in the workshop connected instantly with no issues. The one in the studio (in the house) needed for me to once again push the security button on the adapter near the router for 10 seconds again and then repeat the process on the adapter in the studio. It then connected with no issues noted. The throughput in the studio is fantastic! With the wireless adapter the internet speed was slow, but with the Nexuslink GPL-2000PT-kit the speed was obviously faster! The adapter in the workshop is better and have not experienced any signal disruptions yet. However, since the signal has to go through two breaker boxes the connection speed seems to be faster. Lets hope the 2.Ghn technology performs better overall there. I am happy with the units, its an affordable way to get internet to remote areas that are on the same electrical circuit. I recommend these!

Claims to provide 2000Mbps and on touch install but took me several attempts and resets to get it working. Once it started working i could see it work only at 40mbps where as my home wifi provides upto 400mbps. Connected directly to the AT&T fiber modem/router still no luck. i wouldn't recommend.

Bought 2 of these to connect an IP camera to a DVR where a Cat5 cable could not be snaked up 2 stories in a very tight house. They connected immediately and without any crazy technical issues arising. The POE port sold me on these because the IP camera needed power and eliminated the need to hookup an additional 12v transformer to power the camera.

So, buyers beware. The ONLY reason, and I repeat, the ONLY reason this gets two start is ease of installation. It took me all but a couple of minutes to get it going. However, I should have been more cautious of the reviews. 2000mbps is a laughable claim. My IP is able to get 1000mbps. I couldn’t even get 90mbps with the wired connection. My 5GHz wifi gets at least 200 on rough days. Returning this product at a 2000mbps rate though. Don’t waste your time people.

These work great. The first two paired up without a hitch; the third one would not connect no matter what I tried (the "connect" light on top was dark, except for flashing red once or twice during configuration attempt). Here's how I got it working:- Plug an existing (already-paired) adapter and your new adapter into a non-surge-protected powerstrip. For some reason, proximity is key; I tried plugging them into outlets in the same room, and it didn't work.- If your new adapter's Connect light is still dark, do a hard-reboot of both adapters (hold down Config button for 10 seconds). Then press the Config button for three seconds on each adapter to start the config process. They should link up.- Once your network is running, you should login to each adapter:-- Set your computer's IP address to 192.168.0.6, which will allow it to talk to the adapters on the same subnet.-- In your browser, go to 192.168.0.5. This is the default IP address for all the adapters. ** Which adapter responds to the browser is totally random, and can change when you navigate between configuration screens! ** This is enormously confusing and you should fix it thusly:-- Go to the "IP" screen. Under "DHCP Enabled", select YES. This will allow your router to assign the adapter a normal IP address on your LAN. Your screen will reload and you'll be back at the login screen -- but this is a different adapter! Repeat this process for each adapter you have. When finished, your adapters will all be on your main LAN subnet, each with their own IP address. Your router admin screen should show you what their new IP addresses are; the adapter's device name is "Comtrend Corporation".-- Switch your computer back to your main LAN subnet (or just select DHCP). Now you can navigate to the separate IP addresses to configure each adapter independently. Because there's one more step...-- Under the "Device" menu in the configuration screen, you can see your firmware version. These adapters are manufactured by Comtrend. They're co-branded as NexusLink and I think at least one other brand, however they're the same device. The NexusLink website does not have updated firmware; the Comtrend site does. I needed to update the firmware on each of mine (no idea what the new firmware does, but I'll take any upgrade). Download the firmware .zip file from the website, unzip the .bin file inside, and then at the bottom of the "Device" menu is an option to browse for your firmware file.Hope this helps someone!

I would have given this a one-star rating but that would not be fair since it can do what they claim under certain conditions. The connection "line rate" must be over 40Mbps for the adapters to operate correctly. In my case I had it connected to a smart TV. It would occasionally cut out (buffers) due to a line rate of less than 40Mbps. The unit has an LED light that lets you know when your line rate is less. The only way I could get my line rate above 40Mbps was to have the adapters connected to the same circuit (same circuit breaker in the electrical panel). This is not possible in my situation since the adapters are located on different floors and circuits. I just wasted $70. Check your desired outlets before buying to make sure both outlets are on the same circuit, or run the risk of having faulty service.
