TP-Link TL-PA7017PKIT Gigabit Passthrough Powerline Adapter Starter Kit, Powerline Network Adapters Speed up to 1000 Mbps, 4K Video Streaming & Online Gaming, No Configuration Required, Plug and Play

Bought to replace old Devolo 500mps adaptors that failed after 12 years. So far, i'm impressed. Next day delivery with Prime. Setup very straightforward, it takes a second or so to pair units, do it close together before moving them to chosen locations. 2 adaptors in each pack (ports relates to the number of ethernet plug in points on the adaptor, either one or 2 per unit depending on what you've purchased). Ive got 4 adaptors around the house, not obvious from the blurb but from TP-Link website i think you can have up to 16. 2 weeks in and they've performed faultlessly on security cameras, sky box and gaming PC. For those interested in speeds and loss, my own observations using the same computer/cable. Cable into the router 150 down, 30 up ping of 8ms (as advertised by provider). Speed through adaptors on the same ring, 100 down, 30 up, ping of 12ms. Speed through adaptors on different rings, 85 down, 30 up, ping of 12ms. My old units (when working) gave 18 down, 12 up and a ping of 16ms on different rings so this is a significant improvement, really pleased with the quick and reliable ping for gaming. Last caveats, I've used my own cables not the ones provided (another review suggested they arent great). I also haven't tested speeds when all being used at the same time, that said we have been using things simultaneously and i've not noticed a problem. Edited after a year to add At times I was dropping connection during gaming. Subsequently went onto the TP-Link website and downloaded the latest app/software. Ive updated all the units to the latest software, also worth noting that via the app you can prioritise online gaming (rather than voice or video), this was defaulted on. You can also turn off power saving, which for the moment, seems to have cured the temporary drops in connection.

Works like a miracle! I am approaching 80 and a couple of years ago bought an H P computer with which I used an ethernet cable from the BT hub because I thought only laptops worked with just wifi. This week the broadband changed to fibre and Openreach engineer ran a new cable from the telegraph pole to the house. Then a wire from the roof to the bottom of the wall and set up the hub on the windowsill instead of around the room and into the study as before. She said the signal would reach everywhere. The model of computer I bought did not have wifi and ethernet. Several people on the internet were complaining that usually both are standard in UK but apparently not in USA. So I asked GPT what to do and it advised this TP link. Dubiously I bought from Amazon expecting to enlist help from someone with technical nous. So I plugged it into the socket and plugged the hub into it ( meaning I didn’t need to worry about additional wall socket) and attached the supplied wire into the hub and the TP. Then repeated the action with the computer, placing the supplied cable into the computer and TP then using the same wall socket for the TP link and computer. When I switched on the computer, the internet had magically installed itself just as before! This is a wonderful device and if it just lasts the four years some other reviewer complained about then I will be looking to buy a new computer with wifi (if I’m still around lol!).

This was purchased to route upgraded broadband signals through the house electrical circuit to remote appliances (the TV primarily, for iPlayer). It replaced an older Netgear circuit. It has worked for some months now without any problems, and never caused any "stuttering" while the data is running through. It should be capable of serving many more outlets.

Having previously had a very old set much slower, I had previously bought a couple of the older models that were dreadful and incredibly problematic. Needing to upgrade, and seeing several good reviews I took a punt and got the latest version and success!!! They don’t get hot, I can turn off the power saving and they don’t drop out! Works at connection of nearly 550MB between my loft and ground floor office, so well pleased. Simple to set up, and they finally seem to have got them right!

I bought this to replace an BT gigabit set, which were about 6/7 years old, and the speed boost is noticeable. While you won't get the full "theoretical" 1000Mbps (which is standard for powerline tech), I’m getting a very stable 250-300Mbps, which is plenty for 4K streaming and gaming. Pros: Passthrough Socket: Essential if you’re short on wall outlets. Noise Filter: The integrated socket helps filter out electrical interference from other devices. Gigabit Port: Actually handles high-speed fiber connections properly. Cons: Bulkiness: Because of the passthrough socket, the units are quite large and might overlap the switch on some double wall sockets. Wiring Dependent: Your speed will depend on how your house is wired. Overall, it’s a much better alternative to a Wi-Fi extender for gaming because the latency (ping) is far lower and more stable.

Bought as there was a WIFI blackspot in my son's bedroom. Really simple to install and setup and now has over 130mb/second consistently. Will be purchasing some more of the plugs to add tk the network 👍

Very good product, I've been using it for nearly 3 months now and it improved my bad wifi reception without any issues. Only thing to note is to connect the device straight to a wall outlet rather than an adapter for superior performances.

The kit works as expected and download speed has been *consistent* so far. I've only had them a few days now. They were purchased to compensate for inconsistent Wifi speed on a 4K OLED television. I mostly get around 45-55 Mbps download and 26 Mbps upload when one of them is connected by ethernet to my Virgin 250 Mbps! broadband router The two devices are physically separated by about 15 feet, one being upstairs & both are plugged directly into the household mains. I'm slightly disappointed by the speed of these units which promise *up to* 1000 Mbps. Nothing about my setup is unusual & I'm not aware of any device that could interfere with performance. I tested the wired connection from the (remote) TP link unit downstairs with a PC/laptop and was able to demonstrate that the speed limitation ( 50Mbps) is not related to the equipment used, and is therefore a constraint introduced by use of the TP link devices. So - three stars for a product that meets my requirement and is very easy to set-up. I would have given a higher rating if performance was closer to expectation, based on the advertised claim. One notable feature is that EMF surges are generated in my electricity supply. This had the effect of inducing noise on an active subwoofer of my home cinema system - rectified by the inclusion of surge suppression on its mains connection.
