I always though it was the house wiring that was solely responsible for the big speed drop with powerline. Never thought of the powerline itself being part/all of the bottleneck. So I looked into my powerline and, it was bought over 6 years ago, and is a Trendnet 500 mbps.
I had AV500 plugs, still do for my TV streaming, but moved to PLP1000 when I decided to use them for the Orbi AP. The 1000 Mbps LAN ports also help.
Remember, you can also get plugs with an integrated wifi AP at the "remote" end, just in case you have devices there that could benefit from better wifi.
Also check to see if you could use plugs with a pair of LAN ports at the far end. I had to buy a singleton from a different brand to get that.
Netgear and some other makers don't sell single plugs. So it helps to work out what you need before you part with your money.

Yes I find the Browser GUI to be just fine. I'm looking at AC1750 and AC1900.
Good enough for most purposes. Check comments around here. The original R7000 was Netgear's mainstream router for a while. The R7000P has been a bit more problematic, although mine has worked fine.
But, as I said, the cognoscenti rate the R7800 (AC2600) as the current workhorse model. Mine has been flawless.
Just wanted to update you and thank you again. Just installed a new Netgear dual ethernet port powerline, and my internet speed improved by over 50%. I'll give it a while before any further upgrading.
