Installed for 2 months so far with multiple snow storms going through multiple walls on 40 year old wiring. Getting very good wifi signal.

Took very little time to setup. Internet at far end of home substantially better than repeater I used before

Es importante que verifique que sea una sola línea eléctrica y no haya otra red eléctrica suministrada o esté separada de piso en piso ya que se comunican usando el cable eléctrico de un enchufe a otro para que funcionen correctamente

I'm on gigabyte and I was only achieving 50mbps via ethernet wire + wifi up close.Also WPS does not work with my Bell modem. Could not sync the devices together.Product does not work + speeds are bad

Esta es una reseña del modelo TL-WPA8631P Kit. Compre este modelo en Nov. 2021 asi que llevo casi dos años usandolo del diario. Es un excelente producto y lo recomiendo a todos mis amigos. La instalacion es super facil; en menos de 15 minutos ya estaba listo. El apareamiento (pairing) funciono muy bien. En mi colonia hay apagones frecuentes, casi uno por mes, y el tp-link responde muy bien; apenas llega la luz y se sincroniza y empieza a funcionar como si nada hubiera pasado. El extensor tiene tres puertos de ethernet, lo cual es muy generoso. Uso un puerto para mi TV, otro puerto para otra computadora, y el tercer puerto es muy util para hacer pruebas o conectar otro aparato si es necesario. La velocidad de transmision por la red electrica no es tan rapida (TX = 700 Mbps y RX = 560 Mbps); esto es probablemente porque mi instalacion de la red electrica en casa ya es muy vieja (mas de 30 años). Pero no noto ninguna lentitud en mis conexiones. Una prueba con Internet Speedtest de Ookla me da justo lo que mi proveedor de internet me da. La interfase web para configurar las unidades es muy buena. Es muy configurable y facil de usar (version para MacBook Pro). Incluso puedes configurar una direccion de IP statica con un solo click y muchas otras funciones mas. La aplicacion tpPLC para iPad tambien es muy buena. Yo casi no uso las redes de Wi-Fi, pero mis pruebas resultaron que la señal es muy buena (144 Mbps en la banda de 2.4 GHz y 243 Mbps en la banda de 5 GHz, estando a 5 metros de la unidad emisora). En mi parecer, la banda de 2.4 GHz es mejor porque la señal parece ser mas estable y atraviesa mejor las paredes. Pero si estas cerca de la unidad emisora, las dos bandas funcionan muy bien. Y la seguridad de la red es muy buena, de WPA2/WPA3 - Personal. Que mas les puedo decir? Que estoy muy satisfecho con este producto y lo volveria a comprar si lo necesitara. La calidad del servicio tecnico es buena tambien, pues han contestado a todas mis preguntas con amabilidad, prontitud y exactitud. Nota: uso este producto para darme conexion de internet via cable de ethernet entre mi cuarto donde tengo el router hasta mi estudio donde tengo mi TV y una computadora. No sabria decirles la distancia exacta, pero creo que es de mas o menos 12 metros.

I had originally bought an AV1200 one with only one ethernet output and no WiFi and was getting speeds of 70mbps in a bedroom far away from the router. I had returned that one since I realized I needed more ethernet outputs and also wanted a WiFi extender as well, hence why I landed on this one as it seems to be the best of both worlds. Oddly enough, this one only gets me 40-50mbps.Now it's important to note that my internet is not very fast but a difference of 20mbps on the same outlets is a bit strange. I'm not sure what could be causing that but my theory of why this is the case is because there is more signals coming through due to the extender and secondary ethernet port.Important note: for anyone using this with an outlet with two plugs, it WILL block the bottom prong on the top plug if you are putting in the bottom plug.

J'ai reussie a alimenté mon deuxième batiment par ce système qui est a plus de 300 pied du batiment principale. Apres plusieur essaie mais ca en vaut la peine pour des cas similaire

I needed a wireless signal in my detached garage to service a Rain Bird LNK2 WiFi Module. The wireless signal from the house was uselessly weak so an alternative was needed. Since there was electricity from the house, going to the garage, I decided the TP-Link Powerline WiFi Extender(TL-WPA8631P KIT) might work.Although it took two days to discover a setup that worked, it is now working flawlessly, I'm happy to say. I paired the Adapter and the Extender in my home office and placed the Adapter in an outlet closest to the garage that had an Ethernet extension available and plugged the Extender into an outlet in the garage.When I tried to program the Rain Bird Controller, using my iPhone XS I found a drop down list of available networks from which to choose. After some trial and error, I discovered the network that I needed was labeled TP-Link_DOCC; that was the Extender's WiFi output and it had a very strong signal.The network required a Password which can be found on the label on the back of the Extender. On my iPhone, I selected that network and inserted the Password I found on the Extender and it worked perfectly.

I initially set this up with both on the same power strip to pair them and make sure they worked. Then, just to test and see, I plugged the adapter into an office outlet, with a direct 25’ CAT6 to the router, then put the extender out in the pool house. The office outlet on a branch on a circuit, then the pool house on a separate 80A circuit feeding a subpanel that has a 20A going to the outlet where the extender was plugged in. We have 1Gb fiber to the house, typically get about 900Mb to the router. I knew the signal would be degraded, but wondered if the connection was enough to still be usable; short answer, no. I’d get 1-3Mb over the Powerline setup, but it was dropping occasionally. Maybe with fewer jumps it would have been better, but we have a lot of electrical, old house, jumping between panels, etc. But, the concept was proved that it could work.The pool house used to have two 20A lines, but put in the subpanel a couple years ago. Left the old lines going to an empty outlet box with a flat cover, just in case, and glad I did. Installed an outlet on one of those lines, then the other end (inside the house) installed an outlet as well, right next to the inside panel, then ran a short cable from an empty breaker to that outlet. This gave me about a 40’ electrical line, on a dedicated breaker, with only two outlets on it, one for the adapter and one for the extender. Then I ran a new CAT6 from the router to the adapter, probably 25’ long. With a direct connection to the router and a dedicated circuit with only the two outlets, not super long, the connection is great; I’m getting 250-350Mb on Wi-Fi on my cell phone standing outside the pool house, about the same as I get inside the house.The first purchase was a refurb and pretty sure it was defective, the adapter kept shutting off after a few minutes. I disabled power saving (enabled by default and not sure why, have to unplug it to exit power saving) and it continued, returned that one, got a new one, and it’s been on, stable, and reliable since plugging it in.I also initially had trouble getting them on the network by using the buttons, but got on the router UI and went to OneMesh and it showed the device and I was able to easily add it and set it up from there.It’s cool technology and on short dedicated run works just as well as other equipment, but some minor complaints that resulted in 4 stars: - The power saving mode and issues with the first device; whole point of mesh is to be available when needed - The Wi-Fi doesn’t seem to extend as far as other devices; it’s great close by, but move 40’ away and it drops quite a bit - Other devices are managed through the Tether app but this requires a separate tpPLC app; why a separate app? - Have to find and download firmware files, can’t search or auto-update/install through the app or web interface - Both wall units are relatively large, say they need to be installed upright, and the network plug is at the bottom (need clearance)Again, per the title and I saw others say as well, YMMV (your mileage may vary). Due to a wide range of home wiring and equipment/power consumption, there's not going to be a consistent experience for everybody, just need to try it and see how it works for you. I'll add that I view this as a specialty device with unique use-cases. Running a new CAT6 is going to be easier than running new electrical lines, and using Wi-Fi extenders is going to be way easier than setting this up, but if you have electrical lines that will work, then this may be a good option.
