Use your power lines to extend your network

The Powerline 1200 kit uses your existing AC wiring to extend your high-speed network from one room to another.
Netgear's Powerline 1200 uses the AC power lines in your wall to extend your router's hard-wired Ethernet connection from one room to another. This two-piece kit includes everything you need to enjoy fast internet without running a long cable through the house.
Setup is fast and easy
Simply plug one module into a power outlet near your router and connect it to an Ethernet port with the included cable. Then, plug in the other module in a room where you want high-speed internet access and connect your device to it.
Just like that, you have extended your network without any tricky in-wall wire installation.
Extend your wireless network too
You can also use the Powerline 1200 to create a wireless access point when used with a Wi-Fi range extender. Simply feed the '1200's output into the extender and you'll have a robust wireless network in that part of the house. You'll enjoy fast, reliable Internet with all of your wireless devices.

Was kind of leery about buying this product because there are so many electronics out there that promise the world without delivering. This product delivered! It works like it should in my home. Instead of having to run CAT-5 through my house, I just plugged these in and they work great!
