TP-Link AV1000 Gigabit Powerline ac Wi-Fi Kit, up to 1200 Mbps Wi-Fi speed, TP-Link OneMesh, Broadband/Wi-Fi Extender, Wi-Fi Booster/Hotspot, No Configuration Required, UK Plug (TL-WPA7517 KIT V2)

Why did you choose this product over others?: Not had this for one month yet, but so far, so good. I have tried a direct Ethernet cable to the hub and had slightly higher speeds, but in terms of practicality, this device does the job. It is very much faster the the old generation from 10 years ago. Having wifi also built into the remote endpoint does help with devices that require the lower 2.4 GHz range and has a split for 2.4 and 5 GHz so you can get the best out of Wifi equipment, like wifi light bulbs etc... The pass-through power point on the device is really helpful as I have limited sockets and need the device to be connected directly to the socket, not through a surge protector as per instructions... The only way to know how good the speed is will be to try the unit, as it is a case-by-case basis with a building's wiring and many other factors affecting it. Works for me. Wifi signal: Separate 2.4 GHz/5 GHz is useful, allowing 2.4 GHz only devices to connect without compromising on higher speeds for 5 GHz compatible devices. Speed: It can vary, however, my network is showing 543 Mbps on the tpPLC desktop app. The tpPLC app is what is needed to determine how the units are working on the mains wiring and for wifi configuration. The number fluctuates, but the connection has been good and working with games, downloads and streaming video. If I wanted to fully utilise a 1 Gbps connection, Ethernet direct link would be the only way, but for 100-120 Mbps internet, this device works well. Build quality: The device seems well constructed. Design: The design includes buttons for pairing on the mains between the hub-connected endpoint and the remote extension endpoint, making installation easier. There are clear instructions. It is best to check which button is which before plugging in the unit because it is harder to see once on the wall! Wireless connectivity: Again, having a separate 2.4 GHz is helpful as the hub I was connecting to did not have a feature to split this. Using this product has completely negated the 2.4 vs 5 GHz wifi issue. Gaming capability: Working fine with current ping (including ISP) at 13ms using an Ethernet cable connected to the device and stable data connection, and thus far no drop-outs.

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.

Replacement for my prev WPA kit that was old and “end of life” ! Easy to set up via WPS and pairing. I get a WiFi speed of about 35 mbps down and 15 mbps up which is about half of what my router produces but it is enough for me for all my streaming and wifi devices. Ethernet to TV works well no streaming issues. Good to have 2 extenders. I managed to do a firmware update via the tp-link app which I have never done before in case it went wrong. But it was easy. The firmware on the adapter and just one extender was applied , then I had to apply the upgrade again to the 2nd extender. Not sure why this is but everything was ok. So overall happy with this. Smaller and more compact than the old kit - which is good. Installation was easy and it worked. Reasonable price. Not as fast as advertised (in my set up)

Needed better coverage for my son’s room and he’s been happily using this so far.

very good , fast connection , easy to use

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.

ممتاز

Specifically bought this as I needed a 3 plug system to fit in my cyprus home (UK style plugs). This is what is shown in all the photos. Had been opened now in Cyprus and it's 2 plug... The area I wanted to place them is very tight and I cannot use an adaptor...
