AV1000 Powerline Ethernet Adapter Kit - Passthrough, Gigabit Port

Helped my sister "cut the cord" from cable TV, she has Roku TV's throughout her house, set her up with an outdoor antenna connected to Tablo TV device (look it up, really cool device) to stream local TV channels to all her Roku TV's, unfortunately her bedroom TV was farthest from router and struggled during the evening hours with consistent wifi connection, stream from Tablo TV would stop and start. After exploring mesh network options, etc, I came across this power line adapter to provide wired connectivity to her bedroom TV, worked perfectly and was dead easy to setup, just connect one to outlet near router, plug ethernet cable from router to power line adapter, plug other adapter in outlet in her bedroom, plug ethernet cable from bedroom power line adapter to ethernet port on Roku TV, went to Settings on Roku, it instantly showed wired connection, and her connection issues are gone! I chose this option over a mesh network expander as all her other devices get great wifi connectivity, mesh wireless expanders can slow access to other devices on the network, this power line adapter has no effect on wireless speeds throughout the house.

Very good product. Instantly works as plug and play, doesn’t matter which receiver is on which end of the connection. Some things to note: 1. This is powerline, it will never be as fast as a lot of people expect it to be. The point of using powerline is to get a stable connection for a device that isn’t incredibly demanding (although I’m pulling 100MBPS) 2. I’m an electrician and am familiar with my home’s wiring very well. It’s very cool to use my speed tester (iPhone 15 with USB-C Ethernet adapter) and see how simple circuits get better speeds and complicated circuits have slower speeds. 3. This WILL work on different circuits. Different circuits does NOT matter, really at all. I received 100MBPS on a different circuit and 40 MBPS towards the end of the same circuit the adapter was plugged into. I’ve had issues with TP link products in the past having issues and needing to be reset.

This powerline adapter has been a really helpful way to get a hard‑wired connection in a room far from the modem. Setup was simple and the connection has been stable, which makes a big difference for work and streaming. The only downside is that you do lose some speed compared to being plugged directly into the modem, but it still performs well enough to be reliable day to day. Overall, it’s a solid product and does exactly what I needed it to do.

I had wifi trouble reaching my office in the basement. This solved it and it's fast! Easy to set up and did I mention it's fast!?

Don't expect a gigabit speed on this or similar device. You can get a steady 100-200 Mbit/s which is enough for most of the applications. Please note - no WiFi, which is better security. Connection is steady and you don't need to install full-house WiFi. Depending on the distance from the master unit a speed may vary. Make sure you plug in those units directly to the outlet (!) and the other outlet should be on the same wire. If not you may not even get a connection at all or speeds like 10Mbit/s. Check your electric switch box. So, don't get gigillionaire fiber with a lot of Gbit/s, first of all you don't need that speed, second - you will get only ~200 Mbit/s on the device, third - you will save a ton of money. Other thoughts. A design of the unit is horrendous. When you insert into the outlet, a second plug technically cannot be inserted (unless you force it or use a file to cut some plastic out from the unit). Why it was so hard to move components inside so the second plug could be easily inserted into the outlet? Ok, you will get one back due to a "pass through". The best you can do is to hardwire your house instead of trying WiFi, Mesh or similar powerline devices. On attached images: 1 - speedtest via WiFi 2 - speedtest via powerline adapter, it's OK.

I've been using powerline ethernet adapters for 20 years to extend ethernet in our 2-story house. The office where our broadband comes in is upstairs in a far corner and not ideal for broadcasting WiFi to the rest of the house. I've turned off the broadband router's built-in WiFi and use the powerline adapters to extend the wired connection to a central area downstairs where I have a WiFi router running in access point mode. I highly recommend this setup to anyone who's unhappy with the coverage from their broadband provider's WiFi signal. Even if the location of the router is a good spot for a 3rd party WiFi router, you want to run your additional router in access point mode to keep it from creating a 2nd isolated network behind your broadband router. This results in a condition called "double NAT" which will cause most routers to generate an error message in their setup software. You may have odd connectivity issues and hard-wired devices on your network won't be able to communicate with devices on WiFi. Access point mode turns off all routing features of the router and it simply adds wireless connectivity to the existing wired network. You can also have multiple WiFi routers in access point mode at different locations and if you use identical WiFi network settings (same SSID, password, and authentication type), your mobile devices will seamlessly roam between them, connecting to whichever signal is strongest. This is my current configuration. I've had many powerline ethernet adapters from various brands over the years (Linksys, Trendnet, Netgear, and now TP-Link) with great results and have typically only replaced them when a new higher-speed model becomes available. This time the Netgears I'd been using since 2015 succumbed to old age and started intermittently dropping packets or failing altogether and needing to be power cycled. The leading brands for consumer networking gear tend to change over the years and I've been very happy with the various TP-Link products I've been using over the past 5 years or so. I have a number of their smart plugs, a couple of switches, and a WiFi router. I wasn't at all surprised that these powerline adapters worked flawlessly out of the box. I didn't even have to go through the pairing operation - they immediately connected when I plugged them in. I should be good for another 10 years or so. Keep in mind that both units do need to be on the same electrical circuit, so it's not guaranteed these devices will work for your specific use case. Negative reviews of these units tend to be from people who've discovered their home wiring configuration makes them unusable. It's also important that you plug them directly into the wall outlet and not into a surge protector. Surge protectors are designed to suppress electrical "noise", and the data the powerline adapters send to each other is literally electrical noise. If you need a surge protector plugged into that particular outlet, plug it into the back of the powerline adapter.

Got this as a last Hail Mary of getting a decent internet connection in the office at the other side of our house. I was very skeptical because I’ve never heard of sending internet over the power lines in your house before, but it does work. Does it work well? Not so much for me. I really like how it’s a pass through device so you don’t sacrifice a spot on your power outlet. Installation was easy and took me about 30 minutes. One device went in the living room plugged into the router and the other went to our office plugged into our PC. It did provide more Mbps (50 download compared to 20ish with a WiFi repeater). I just didn’t have much luck with it staying connected. It regularly would drop and always seemed to do so in the most inconvenient moment. Then you have to wait for it to reconnect. Sometimes seconds. Sometimes upwards of a minute. A few times I had to unplug the one in the office from the wall and plug it back in again. Did not work for my needs but I could see it working for others.

Works very well, but I only get about 120 mbps, nothing close to the gigabit. This could be due to the wiring in my apartment.

I received my order today, the setup was very straightforward and I'm very happy with my purchase. It arrived two days earlier, quite impressed with the seller. Thank you.

Lo conecto a mi Xbox para jugar en línea, y es muy estable. Altamente recomendado, y que tenga el Plug adicional se agradece profundamente. No estas desperdiciando contactos.

TL-PA4010からの変更。 TL-PA7017では4010より倍の速度が出ました。 回線契約が今となっては遅い部類なのでここまでの速度が出れば当方の使途では十分です。 3Pプラグなので、使用には3P→2P変換プラグTAP-AD8BKを用いました。 本アダプターが重いからなのかコンセントに差し込んだ際傾いてしまいます。 3Pプラグ安全カバーAN-203B(要加工)をかませて、ほこりがかぶらないように保護して使用しています。

Plugged it in, synced automatically, works very well. I'm getting 100% of the speed of my 50/10Mbps connection. Highly recommend this product. I live in a large (200+ unit) highrise built with wiring from the 1960's, so I was very concerned about interference (lots of microwaves, devices, wiring age, etc.), but there is no problem. My unit has its own circuit breaker box, so I assume all the connections go into that common point, so if you're also an urban dweller like me, you don't have to worry about interference so much. It seems to work exceptionally well. I had ethernet cables going through my kitchen floor to my desktop workstation and WiFi was serving my Chromecast and Roku TV. The Chromecast would absolutely have WiFi interference drops with streaming becoming a pain, this resolves that problem. I got an Ethernet adapter and switch and connected the Roku TV, Chromecast, and my desktop via ethernet and gone are the problems I had. No cables across the floor, no WiFi interference. Ping times and response rates are what you'd expect with wireline. Absolutely a great product.

This product is NOT for use in the UK - not only because their plugs and sockets are for US domestic mains, but they are also not rated for 230/240VAC. These should not on sale on the Amazon UK site!
