TP-LINK TL-PA7017 KIT 1-Port Gigabit Powerline Starter Kit, UK Plug (Renewed)

It does exactly what it's meant to do, easy to setup, connects well, dropout rate is non existent, highly recommend!

These replaced two older - slower models. The increase doubled as expected. The installation process was straight forward and took only minutes. Highly recommend.

I bought a set of these as the WiFI in our house isn't great and my partner wasn't happy about the existing solution of running a network cable through the window. Installation is simple, plug in network cables (two supplied) into the two devices, plug one of the network cables into your home router and plug the device into a power socket (ideally a wall socket, but an extension cable may work if it's not a surge protected extension).Plug the other network cable into the other adaptor and then into a device you want to connect to the network (games console, smart TV, desktop PC, laptop, or maybe a WiFi access point etc) and then plug the device into another mains socket and within a second or two the devices should be paired and create a network link.I knew from experience of these devices I wouldn't get the full 1000Mbit speed (it's "up to" but in my experience I've never come close to that speed). Between our lounge and master bedroom (which is above the lounge) we're getting about 150 to 170Mbit/sec. I found it the connection was faster plugging the device in the bedroom into an extension lead which was on the same wall as the device in the lounge. Trying a socket on the other side of the bedroom the speed was about 40Mbit slower.For reference we have Virgin Media cable which usually gives us around 550Mbit downloads and 50Mbit upload when connected directly to the router with an Ethernet cable so while we're not getting full speeds it's fast enough to stream media on the XBOX and Smart TV in the bedroom (if you're connecting via Ethernet you will need a network switch as there's only one network port on the device itself). Overall for £24 (a saving of about £15) I'm happy with the device. While it's not as quick as running a cable, it's worth it for the faster speeds for now (until we upgrade our WiFi access points or if I could convince my partner to let me run a couple of Ethernet cables).

Dead easy just put the two units next to each other in a double socket and press the pairing button, it's done in seconds then you can move them to wherever you need to in the house, been working for a few days, nothings gone wrong , no drop outs, can be used with an extension cable, just slows them down a bit, but it's still OK for browsing.

Wifi is great, but when you need it in another room with a few walls between you and the router, then you may struggle to get a clear signal so this option is ideal. You’re supplied with 2 plugs and connecting leads. Plug either one into a mains socket, (preferably not in an extension lead) then use a supplied connecting lead to connect to your router.Then you plug the other one in a nearby socket where you can ‘pair’ the 2 plugs. This just basically means the devices get to ‘see each other’. Once paired, you can then use this 2nd plug in any room. Full & easy instructions are supplied. Bear in mind the plugs both use LAN connections so this is designed to be used with a laptop/PC. However, if you want to use with your phone or tablet, you can purchase an inexpensive (around the £10 mark) adapter which is a useful option. Here’s a typical one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ethernet-Adapter-WALNEW-Converter-Thunderbolt/dp/B08YCYW623/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1AG1RCI4KONWB&keywords=LAN+adapter+for+iPad&qid=1707999735&sprefix=lan+adapter+for+ipad%2Caps%2C90&sr=8-3The beauty of this system is you don’t need to be a tech wizard to get this working, it really is simple to set up.Hope this helps!

I previously had the AV500 model, but it often kept just randomly dropping connection.. the lights showed it was all ok but somehow a simple "ping" did not get anywhere.At least this "new" version so far seems all ok, checked it using the TPLink app and just via transferring data and it seems close to twice the speed of the previous model.. also I do not seem to have any drop outs either.For a refurbished model/price/warranty/etc.. I would say buy and give it a go!

Can't get them to work and can't find any settings that I can change with apps or phone!! Has to be done with laptop or pc, has an auto off switch that I can't turn off. Useless

bought to replace older model TP-link powerline adapters that only have 100mbps ports. these can achieve much higher throughput over the same power sockets. they are stable and don't require resetting to restore them.
