NETGEAR Powerline Adapter 2000 (PLP2000)

Setting up the NETGEAR Powerline Adapter 2000 is incredibly simple thanks to its Advanced Whole-Home WPS technology. You just plug one adapter into a wall outlet near your router and connect them via an Ethernet cable, then plug the second adapter into an outlet near your device. Pressing the WPS button on the units easily syncs them together.

The PLP2000 utilizes HomePlug AV2 technology to deliver incredibly fast speeds up to 2000 Mbps directly through your home's existing electrical wiring. This provides a reliable and fast connection that completely bypasses the need for long Ethernet runs or spotty Wi-Fi. It is perfect for demanding applications like smooth 4K streaming and lag-free online gaming.

For optimal performance and to achieve the advertised 2000 Mbps speeds, NETGEAR strongly recommends plugging the Powerline adapters directly into a wall outlet. Plugging them into power strips, surge protectors, or extension cords can severely degrade the signal and cause drops. The direct wall connection ensures the cleanest electrical pathway for the data.

While the prompt focuses on the PLP2000 model, many high-end NETGEAR powerline adapters feature a pass-through power outlet so you don't lose an AC socket. If the PLP2000 model you purchase includes this, it allows you to plug other electrical devices directly into the front of the adapter. This is highly useful in older homes where wall outlets are scarce.
