TP-Link TL-WPA4220 TKIT 2-Port Powerline Adapter Starter Kit, WiFi Extender Booster Trasfer Speeds up to 600Mbps, 2x Ethernet Ports, One-Touch Wi-Fi Configuration, Easy App Management

So I've had wifi woes since a floor fitter chopped in half an ethernet cable that ran the length of the house. I was considering various options like running cables up the outside of the building, etc. but eventually after reading tons of reviews I opted for this solution. It's AWESOME. CAUTION: We are lucky enough to be in a detached house so we know that the power rings are all ours - I have heard of problems before in semi-detached houses or flats with shared power rings but I can't really comment. My experience relates purely to a detached house. Installation was so easy: Plug the power-link hub device into a wall socket near my router Plug the ethernet cable from router to power-link hub Take one of the extender units and plug it into a wall socket elsewhere in the house (home office, in my case) Press the sync button on the hub and then on the extender and watch them link up (took mine about 5 seconds) At this point you now have an ethernet port in your new location. Repeat for the second extender (we put ours at the top of the house, 3 floors) Now you can connect to the web interface of the extender and change the wifi settings - making the network name and password the same as your standard internet connection means devices will seamlessly move between areas keeping strong wifi. The Wifi connection is 400mbs which is pretty fast, unfortunately the wired connection is only 100mbs (but there is a gigabit version, different product) but it is rock-solid. I have had to restart the extenders a couple of times to re-sync them which is a bit of a pain but compared to running network cables everywhere it's better. NOTE: I did first try another manufacturer's wifi-booster device which simply takes your existing wifi network and repeats it and it was massively lacking - if you have a large house and need a wifi hotspot creating, THIS is the product for you - it has transformed my working-from-home life :-) Highly recommended!

UPDATE: After using this wonderful piece of kit now for several days, I can truly say - it is more than magnificent at what it does. Despite owning the title of 'grumpy, moany old man, I simply cannot find fault in this incredible bit of kit. I am so happy that I can watch smart TV, listen to my iPod Touch through my B&W speaker, use my iPad, my MacBook, heck, even my android phone hits in to it. I even tried it at the end of the very long garden just because I could and heck, I have a full on signal. I am simply over joyed 'Sometimes on a review you kind of feel excited and don't actually know where to start. On the one hand I find 'War & Peace' reviews about as helpful as the proverbial chocolate teapot; although, I have see some nice ones. I digress, so here it goes FWIW. This was a case of third time lucky. I'd purchased and returned two of the so-called things that plug in to a socket , press the WPS button while pressing the button on the router and job done. Sadly my new build cottage is protected by kingpin insulation lined on both sides with foil. No wifi is getting through it. I was on the cusp of giving up when I stumbled on this offering from TP-Link. Once I got my thick head around the fact it does not bounce a signal through wifi I was home and dry. Setting up is a breeze. I plugged in the ethernet cable to the smallest unit and it had a 'chat' with my router and set itself up. Then I plugged in the bigger unit, switched it on (don't press pair). And sorted; I thought all was good. All I wanted to do was use my iPod Touch to play music through a Bowers and Wilkins A7 in my den which is about thirty metres from my cottage. Nothing! Totally useless. Speaker I had plugged into the ethernet and into the unit; no worries light stopped flashing on my B&W unit. Turned on the iPod and nothing, it so would not pick up. In the box it all went while I went off to do other things, in a huff. Then I wondered. No good following the instructions, useless. Fine if you just want to power ups a TV or similar. Once you want to stream music or use an iPod there is something you NEED to do. Go into your iPod wifi settings and wait until you see the TP link highlighted. Click on it and enter the password which is handily printed on top of the TP Link unit. All went well. Choose music, hit the A7 speaker and voila, perfect signal. Been listening to my music all afternoon without dropping once. I now fully understand how these things work. I used the smaller unit as mentioned plugged into my router and only one of the two larger units. I suppose should I wish to use a TV in my shed or garage, I will use the second unit. I cannot tell you how pleased I am. JUST be sure if you have issues to look on your TV, speaker or whatever if it asks to join your TP Link unit. Enter th password and you really are JOB DONE! I got there for under £100.

I was looking to improve / expand my Broadband WiFi signal around the house and decided on this TP-Link TL-WPA4220T Kit. I liked the fact that it had WiFi and ethernet connections and connected via the mains wiring. I could not set up the first one as I could not get the base unit to connect to the other two extension adapters. The base unit rattled like a component or something had come loose inside. I returned it to Amazon and the replacement was set up very quickly. I actually set up the TP-Link TL-WPA4220T system as a separate (hidden) home network which I connect to on my home/work computer through ethernet and my mobile on WiFi. All other home and family devices use the existing home network. Both home networks connect through my Plusnet hub to the great wide world out there. It has worked reliably since installing and I have had no issues. You can increase the strength of the WiFi signal which is a bonus and I also chose a WiFi channel that had no / little interference from neighbours WiFi channels. It just lost a star for the original quality problem.

Very usefull in a house with spotty Wifi, Bought for my Parents old house and works well, Simple to install

EDIT - I got this device to link my router to my living room to boost speed a reliability after going down the IPTV route. I used to run on an older powerline adapter so I already have e a baseline to go from. With that in mind, although this one had the same specs as the old one, I am having some buffing issues. The older devices died as they have been run into the ground. So running smart tv apps such as Plex, Netflix, and IPSmarters, I've been getting different results. Sony Bravia 4k - CAT6 connection. Plex has a 90% success rate. Netflix has a 100% success rate. IPSmarters 65% success rate. With my older set-up that died in the same network under the same conditions... Sony Bravia 4k - CAT6 connection. Plex 100% success rate. Netflix 100% success rate. IPSmarters 75% success rate. On the other hand, the WiFi works extremely well, much better than the older adaptors. So, value for money, yes, but if you are going down the Internet TV route you may wish for a little more "oomph". If you're just watching Netflix and want to boost your WiFi, then this is great value for money. EDIT - So... it's a year later. Have my thoughts on this changed? YES. I'm looking for some more. I need more speed. Over time, the buffing seems to have got worse and now Netflix is playing up. Maybe something changes when they started limiting accounts and offering cheaper packages with adverts. IPTV is buffing... Netflix is buffing... and if I still played Halo online, Master Chef would be glitching. I have dropped this down a star. And the search for another set has begun.

I've been using the TP-Link TL-WPA4220 TKIT for a few weeks now and I'm impressed with its performance. This kit has been a game-changer for extending my WiFi signal to areas of my home that were previously dead zones. Setup was incredibly easy. Simply plug the adapters into power outlets and press the pairing button - it couldn't be simpler. The included Ethernet cables were also handy for connecting wired devices. Signal strength is excellent. I've noticed a significant improvement in WiFi speed and reliability in areas where I previously struggled. Streaming HD content and online gaming are now smooth and uninterrupted. The two Ethernet ports on each adapter are a great addition, allowing me to connect wired devices like a smart TV or gaming console directly to the powerline network. Overall, I'm highly satisfied with the TP-Link TL-WPA4220 TKIT. It's a reliable, affordable, and user-friendly solution for boosting your home's WiFi coverage.

I've been using TP-Link Powerline's for many many years to bring internet through mains-power sockets to devices such as smart TVs for catchup (where WiFi was too unreliable). Thought I'd give this set a try to also bring WiFi into rooms that had zero or a patchy signal from our far away router. It works, fantastic! I did the trick (detailed in the instruction sheet) to copy the same ID and password from my router - so I didn't need to log-on to a new ID/password with my devices, everything is seamless. My router transmits two WiFi signals, 5GHz and 2.4GHz, the TP-Link transmitters picked up the 2.4GHz ID & password (and I assume they also transmit at 2.4GHz as the max speed is 300 Mbps - which is way faster than our BT 'superfast' here, 30 Mbps). Getting the end units paired with the source unit, as I know from experience doesn't always work first time. Actually I've found it best to physically link the end unit to a computer with an ethernet cable (and turn it WiFi off on the computer!), just so the end unit is actively wanting to supply internet to a computer. Then do the pairing procedure, press the source unit then the end unit. Then you can unplug the end units and put them where you want. The WiFi units strength covers a couple of medium-large rooms each, it's not a super-strong whole-house signal, but for it's purpose works 100% within the room of each transmitter, and also 100% through the wall of the socket the transmitter is plugged into, to the adjoining room. I also downloaded the iPhone app, to turn the LEDs off, works, great; but the app isn't essential, you don't need it. The ap also allows you to control off times for the WiFi of each transmitter, if that may be of interest. Also older TP-link Powerlines (which I have a few of!) also work fine with the new system (and the app). Note : this is both a Powerline system and a WiFi extender. Some models are *only* WiFi extenders - which require a good WiFi signal to bounce that signal on further like a relay race. As this is using Powerline, the internet goes through your main's wiring near your router, then the end unit which can be far beyond any existing WiFi signal, picks up the internet through another mains socket, then transmits a fresh WiFi signal from that location. Great!!

Super rapport qualité prix, signal très puissant. Seul petit défaut, quand on installe, soit on laisse apparaitre chaque récepteur dans la détection wifi (box, link 1, link 2)et dans ce cas pas de soucis tout se fait tout seul, mais si on veut faire en sorte qu'un seul signal(celui de la box) apparaisse dans toute la maison, c'est un peu plus capricieux. Mis à part ça, super content de mon achat.

El equipo es excelente, tiene bastante alcance , lo único es que las clavijas del toma son inglesas y se le tiene que colocar un adaptador de corriente español

Sono anni che utilizzo questi prodotti e hanno sempre dato ottimi risultati. Dove non esiste cablaggio a livello LAN e la WiFi è scarsa la soluzione di utilizzare l'impianto elettrico è perfetta. Le performance sono discrete ma ricordiamoci che non si può pretendere una velocità di connessione WiFi pari a quella del router.

Werkt perfect

The item itself is ok, however the title of it states for UK plug, but it’s not. Be aware, the UK plug is available only if you order from Amazon UK. Unfortunately seller told me that only upon item delivered to me, however I asked him to confirm the plug type before placing the order and he confirmed that “yes, it’s UK plug type”.
