AV1000 Powerline Ethernet Adapter WiFi Extender Kit, Passthrough

For your reference: Distance between the adapter and the extender is 5m (15 ft), separated by two layers of concrete wall and wooden door, good electric cable connection. Before purchasing this TP-Link Powerline, I bought a pair of wifi signal repeater from TP-Link, have them plugged in two rooms very close to each other, but the wifi signal was so weak it is basically useless. This Powerline however, get the job done. The signal is stronger than I expected, reaching 433mbps using the wifi signal from the extender, and never experienced any drop or disconnection. I guess if your environment is a large room without much physical barrier like walls or doors, a wifi signal repeater is enough, but if your environment is full of walls and doors, the Powerline option through electric cable is a much better choice. Due be aware that not all Powerline models come with wifi signal, read carefully the specs before purchasing. There is cheaper brands that do the same job, but considering I might install more Powerline extender the future, I opted for the TP-Link since I get it easier.

I thought it was easy to set up and it worked kind of. It would go on and off every few seconds. When it was on, it was fast. I could not figure out the troubleshooting until I did live chat with Carlo and he was very patient and clearly gave me instructions on what to do. And we got it working! It is super fast, 100+ mbps download, and it is staying connected!

We purchased an outdoor Ring camera on Prime day but we were having issues hooking it up to our wifi. A friend recommended this to me and it was so easy to set up and we were able to get our camera connected to the wifi easily.

Found out about this product through A.I. I have a detached steel sided garage and have struggled getting any service inside. After reading reviews I thought I would give this a try and to my suprise I have excellent signal. Would reccomend that you at least try it as I have had great success.

Our cable internet provider says our signal should be at least 500 Mbps down, and currently a wired connection measures in the low 600’s. Wi-Fi on the other side of the house drops to about 330 Mbps. Powerline Wi-Fi extenders have been recommended by folks who should know on online forums to which we belong, so we hoped this extender would provide a good signal throughout the house, including some places where we don’t have one. However, with the adapter plugged into a port on the router, the extender barely produced 30 Mbps when plugged into an outlet on the same electrical circuit. This is good enough to stream 4K video, but no useable signal was present when we plugged into an outlet where we needed it, so we returned the device for a refund. My husband fiddled with it for a week or so, but it just didn’t work in our house. Perhaps the poor performance is due to the way our house is wired. It was built in 1989 when houses were wired room by room, with outlets and lighting fixtures on the same circuit. Or maybe there is some other reason. As a sidebar I can report that powerline Wi-Fi is compatible with X-10 home automation, as all our X-10 devices continued to work. X-10 is an older home automation protocol which wouldn’t be installed today, but since our system works just fine there is no need to replace it. Or maybe the reason there was no interference between the two systems is because the Wi-Fi signal was so weak. Strange that our house wiring supports an old automation protocol but not a new Wi-Fi system.

I wanted Internet access in my workshop - it's two floors below my WiFi access point and between the flooring, ductwork and so forth, I've had little luck getting a reliable signal there. I don't need massive speed, so my first thought was powerline networking. I've had good luck with TP-Link powerline products in the past, so I figured I'd try it. The biggest problem I had was that the product I received was obviously returned by a previous owner. I can say this definitively because instead of using the default SSID and password on the label, it was configured to the SSID "DavesGarage" with an unknown password...clearly, someone had deployed this product and returned it to Amazon, but nothing in the product description told me I was paying for a used product. I was also surprised at the performance limitations of this device. I have an older TP-Link powerline adapter that works well, but lacks WiFi (it's just two wired gigabit ethernet ports). I get about 700 megabits to this device and that's more than enough for my needs. I was expecting this newer WPA7617 to be as fast or faster, but that's not the case. On the wired ports of the WPA7617, I'm getting about 100 megabits - maybe 10% of the advertised speed. Connected to WiFi, I get about 30 megabits on the 2.4 GHz band, and about 50 megabits on the 5.0 GHz band. I thought perhaps the issue was the location where I have the device, so I moved the WPA6717 to the same location where I have my other powerline adapter and unplugged the older one. No change - still roughly 10% of the promised throughput. I also tried moving my older TP-Link receiver to my workshop, and it did fine there - about 700 megabits. Thinking it might be a problem to have two separate powerline networks going, I also tried pairing the receiver in the WPA7617 kit with my existing powerline network...again, no chancg in performance. I was impressed that this configuration worked (that is, one sender connecting to two receivers), but it didn't seem to make a difference from a performance perspective. Other negatives I'll mention are that the device runs a bit hot, it's big enough to block both outlets in a normal junction box, and it doesn't support any of the recent WiFi standards. There's no 802.11AC, AX, etc...the latest you get is 802.11n - a 15-year old standard that emerged in 2008. On the positive side, it is fairly inexpensive and once I understood how to reset the device back to factory defaults to clear the configuration that the previous owner had set, the setup process went smoothly. I had it up and running in just a few minutes, and the connection seemed to be solid (albeit slow). In summary, I suppose the fact that I was shipped a used product masquerading as new isn't TP-Link's fault...I'll blame Amazon for that one. But dramatically slower performance than advertised is troubling, and even though that's not necessarily a show-stopper for me,I just can't recommend this product. I'd definitely recommend trying other brands instead.

my home line company, told me about this as he bought one. my hubby couldn't get service anymore in his garage since canceling dish, so i ordered this and it is amazing since we got it all set up in his garage, 1 box is in my house by my computer and the other one , once i got the 2 paired is in the garage wall plug. well worth it. thank you

WORKS GREAT. Own an metal shed about 200 feet from house, but share same electrical circuit. Wasn't sure after reading the mix reviews. But willing to try verses the price of running another line.

Quality product, performs as described. Great value.

Funcionó tal cual como dicen las instrucciones y mejoró mucho mi conexión. Si eres como yo que tenía unos powerline adapters del 2015 si te recomiendo cambiarlos por estos 👍.

Works just fine.

Me gusta que solo conectas ese cuadrito en una parte centrica en tu casa y listo. En mi cuarto gamer tengo el model y lo conecto con cable ethernet y ya tengo internet disponible en todo mi departamento con muy buena señal y tengo ya 2 años con el articuli y me encanta
