    No, you would need to use another Netgear product for that purpose.

    Powerline works for some users in some homes but not others. The bottom line is that it is unpredictable, so if you decide to try this type of product, it would be a good idea to understand the store's return policy before you buy.

     

    You cannot know whether the products will work in your home until you try them out.
