AV1000 Powerline Ethernet Adapter Kit - Passthrough, Gigabit Port

I kept losing my WiFi signal when streaming on certain channels (eg. Apple TV) It was very aggravating. I did both, the reset router and forget network suggestions that I found online and both worked, but only for short periods of time, before the problem started again. I kept reading about making it a direct connection, via Ethernet, but my router is in my office and my TV is in the living room. There was no way to make the connection, until I found the TP-Link AV1000. I was concerned that since the rooms are not on the same breaker, that it might not work, but I figured it was least worth trying. It was cheaper than buying a new TV and if it didn't work I could return them. I followed the very easy and clear directions and it has worked like a charm. The days of yelling at the TV are over and my headaches are gone too. It really was that simple and I suggest you try these adapters

When reading this products reviews I didn't see a whole lot about what it can do for gaming. Now this item is very inconsistent per household from what I understand. I live in an apartment that's 760 sq. ft. and my modem is in another room from my gaming pc. I play league of legends and played on WIFI for 9 months. As most of you may know WIFI is insanely inconsistent and your ping spikes can make it unplayable. I could never play at night because of congestion and I could barely play during the day. I was averaging a jump in ping from 67-85 mostly averaged 73. First off this product is the easiest thing in the world to set up. It literally is plug and play. After plugging it in I immediately noticed a difference. Now before I go into great detail, I did want to say; this will drastically drop your internet speeds. On WIFI I got 500 mbps download, now I get about 50 mbps. If you know anything about gaming though you don't need those excessively fast speeds, your ping is everything. My ping now is a consistent 66-67 and never EVER fluctuates. It literally feels like I am plugged in with a direct ethernet cable and I am in love! This product is truly heaven sent and I cant thank the creators enough. I am no longer getting frustrated from lag anymore and I can play at all times of the day. It may not work the same for you but I highly recommend testing it before you go with any other method!

If you’re looking for something that erases lag and ping spikes due to your setup being far from your router, this is a great way to do so. My setup is around 4-5 walls separated to my router and every 15-30 seconds, I would experience lag and ping spikes for games like valorant and rocket league. Since installing this product, these spikes have disappeared and I stay at a consistent 20-35ms. The only issue I have is that my download speeds have dropped a decent amount compared to wifi, but I’m satisfied with how it’s erased my connection issues.

This product was even better than I expected. I knew there were mixed reviews on how well this would work if the run was from one circuit to another, but I guess my willingness to try and lack of electrical knowledge sort of paid off here. Turns out, after trial and research, this will work from any one outlet in the house to another as long as the two outlets run through the same electrical panel (which means they can technically run from one breaker to the next). While I didn't test speeds, I did try cloud gaming on geforce now and it was the smoothest experience I've had compared to running it via our EERO pro router. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to extend their low ping stable connection to other areas of their house. Also, plug and play almost over complicates how easy it was to install compared to my expectations. This truly is a device where you plug in the device, connect the ethernet cord, and while the manual says you should sync the devices, it started working flawlessly before I could even finish reading the instructions for how to sync the devices.

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.

I guess like I have seen before that this is not a way to get faster internet but a more stable connection and that it does but at the cost of speed. On wifi I was getting ~800 mps with 51 ping but when I connected this I was getting ~100 mbs with 17 ping. I am not sure if I over looked something or just need to spend more time configuring it but I was looking for a more plug and play item that would let me keep my 800 ping but still have the stability of Ethernet. Would rather have the higher ping than the lower speeds.

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.

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.

So far it’s fantastic! So easy to set up - literally 5 minutes. Using it to directly connect my PS5 in a room with no modem. Before this I had to string an Ethernet cable from another room which I hated. I’m in Canada and have Rogers Ignite cable internet. All I needed was a regular wall outlet to plug into from the modem and another outlet near the ps5 to plug into. Wired internet now travels like magic through your existing home electrical system.
