TP-Link AV600 Nano Powerline Adapter Starter Kit, up to 600Mbps (TL-PA4010KIT)

Izz sooo good

Nothing to dislike

I bought these to replace a similar model that had stopped working after 10 years. The new ones went in without issue. But the connection drops every day or so. I can reconnect by pressing the button on the adapter but this is a pain and requires me to be at home. Instructions are useless. Don’t buy.

We bought this to boost the Wi-fi signal in parts of the house which struggled to get a signal. However make sure you also buy the bit which plugs into your modem; a mistake we made initially as it doesn’t work without it. Anyway, as far as the signal goes now it sometimes works great and other times it totally drops out so we are disappointed.

great value and quality A+++++

I have just set this up in my girlfriends flat and so far I'm pleased to say it's perfect. It took me all of 5 minutes to "set up" (pretty much just plug in!) And we can now watch Netflix upstairs which we couldn't do on the existing wifi. I cant fault this setup and am very happy.

here is a side-by-side comparison of my internet speeds when I'm sat in the same room as the router vs when I'm hardwired to my TP-Link device. you can probably see the issue. i've done everything i can think of. i've relinked the boxes, i've unplugged them and plugged them back in again. but nothing works. don't waste your time.

Considering I bought 3 extenders along with the base unit the coverage is only slightly better than without them. I have been advised to have my house wiring checked as this may be the reason but I wasn’t aware of this before buying them. My broadband supplier also blames some else not their fault????

Works very well for Indian wiring also. I was tired of collisions occurring in typical wifi range extenders as they share the same radio channel thereby reducing bandwidth to half and frequent dropouts. With this I was able to add a "wired" access point to a distant part of the apartment and setup a seamless wifi handoff by adding a basic router to it

I've been a Network Engineer for over 10 years and ever since I've dealt with computers, cabling is one of the worst aspects of the job. I can't tell you how many times I've run/extended CAT3/CAT5/CAT5e/CAT6 cabling and ended up terminating both ends and testing them. Some situations are easier than others when you're allowed to run a cable across the floor or above ceiling tile... but in other situations like getting networking in a certain room in your house can be a total pain in the butt. For the average home user, the only way to get networking from point A to your house to point B is either wired with cabling or use WiFi & bridging if the WiFi didn't extend far enough. When Powerline technology came out it added convenience of using existing power cabling but still was a little flaky and troublesome. But since then, Powerline has jumped leaps and bounds since and is much more reliable & faster. When it came time to buy originally back in July 2012, I put a lot of research into looking into the latest powerline solution for my home. I wanted something with high performance and the current version of "high performance Powerline devices" allows 500Mbps transfer rate. Even still, I was having trouble selecting which manufacturer to go with (Belkin, Cisco, Netgear, etc). After my homework (and despite Netgear's horrible sales support), I ended up with the NETGEAR Powerline 500Mbps Nano Adapter - Starter Kit (XAVB5101) . Despite the insane price point (currently $87.99 on Amazon - 12/13/2013; I bought these for $108 back in July 2012), the Netgear adapters worked wonderfully in my home. I was able to maintain faster throughput from device to device while on wired Ethernet while not saturating my WiFi network. However, over the course of a year and a half, the number of devices I had in my house grew considerably (especially over WiFi). In the past year, I added a few cell phones, a laptop, a tablet, a Roku 3, a Western Digital TV Live, 2 Chromecasts, and a new Smart TV. Because of that, my WiFi started to become degraded because every single one of those new devices was connecting to my network over WiFi. When multiple devices would start streaming things like Netflix and I was doing transfers from my media server to a PC, Netflix would stutter and my WiFi throughput would literally crawl slower than a snail on a salt bed. That's when I realized I needed to invest in more Powerline Adapters for certain rooms to speed up transfers as well as help reduce the load of my WiFi network. But you see, despite being pleased with my Netgear adapters, I didn't want to spend another $100. A friend of mine (who I told the Netgear adapters about) bought another brand of Powerline AV 500Mbit adapters from a company called TP-Link to save money. He said they worked pretty good. After finding out that they were $35 on Amazon, I immediately pulled the trigger. I mean after all, I had a word of mouth approval from a friend and you can't argue saving over $50 vs another set of my Netgear adapters... the result? Absolutely no difference in speeds. Just like the Netgear adapters, these are essentially Plug & Play. There were literally no problems connecting these in my house. I went to the living room where I needed wired connectivity and plugged these up to the wall. The TP-Link adapter immediately recognized my existing Netgear Powerline adapters and the 2nd LED (Powerline LED indicator) immediately lit up. I plugged in my small 10/100 switch to it and then my Roku & TV up to it and the 3rd LED (Ethernet indicator) lit up and the devices could not only talk to other devices on my LAN, but they had Internet access as well. I personally noticed NO DIFFERENCE in throughput speeds both within the LAN and the Internet. The *ONLY* difference between the TP-Link set and the Netgear is the that the TP-Link doesn't tell you the "current speed" of that adapter's Powerline network. The Netgear has multicolored LEDs that indicate the speed of your Powerline network. While this normally won't matter to a lot of people, it will tell you whether you are having degraded performance within your home's electrical wiring. It also aids in troubleshooting as well. But it's not a show stopper... Personally, I would recommend this product over the Netgear adapters I have. 1. The price is a LOT cheaper. 2. TP-Link has a TWO YEAR WARRANTY vs the Netgear's ONE YEAR WARRANTY. If you're really concerned on whether you're buying "a crap product", rest assured that this works just as good as the bigger name brands and you have an extra year of product care! Highly recommended.

Produto cumpre o que promete! Original e consegue trazer o sinal sem perda para todos os cômodos da casa

El producto como es costumbre llegó super rápido y en forma y tal como está escrito en la descripción. En general el producto se ve de buena calidad. Estos son los pros y contras que he encontrado hasta ahora al hacer uso de éste: Pros: + Fácil de instalar. Sólo conectas los aparatos en ambos extremos del circuito eléctrico y ellos hacen el resto. + Unidades compactas + Te dan salida de datos haciendo uso de tu red eléctrica en casa. + LEDs que facilitan revisar si hay conexión o no. + Incluye 2 cables de Ethernet en la caja. + Tienen buen aspecto. Contras: + Como es de esperarse, la línea eléctrica no está diseñada para transferencia de datos así que existen varios detalles a considerar, entre ellos: ++ Pérdida de paquetes (TCP/IP). Hice unas cuantas pruebas y perdí al rededor de 3 de cada 10 paquetes la mayoría de las veces. ++ El ancho de banda que alcanzarás dependerá mucho de la conexión y calidad del circuito eléctrico de tu casa, pero en general no esperes alcanzar velocidades mayores de un 80% de tu velocidad actual de internet (probé la velocidad de bajada principalmente). ++ Este producto NO es un remplazo a usar cableado de datos, es simplemente una alternativa que en mi opinión debe usarse cuando instalar cableado es muy complicado ya que al agregar más puntos de conexión entre tu Consola de Video Juegos, Laptop, etc. y tu modem/router, hay más puntos de falla y por ende la conexión a internet es mucho menos confiable. Nota: es muy importante para que estos aparatos funcionen que los enchufes/contactos se encuentren en un mismo circuito eléctrico ya que si los conectas en circuitos separados no los harás funcionar. Para esto es importante que te asegures que los enchufes/contactos donde planeas conectar estos aparatos realmente se encuentren en un mismo circuito. Muchas casas y edificios suelen tener más de un circuito eléctrico dentro de la casa/edificio, esto para evitar sobrecargas; es probable que si en tu centro de carga tienes muchas pastillas, los contactos de la casa o edificio puedan estar divididos en circuitos separados, ejemplo: contactos de piso planta alta y contactos planta baja, etc...
