All I needed to do was plug the TP-Link unit into the mains and plug the ethernet cable into the back you my broardband hub and then plug the receiving TP-Link unit into a mains socket in the room with poor signal strength and press the button on each to connect them both.It was very easy to set up and reliable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazed at how good this is. Superb product

T.V.A.M. · 14 March 2018

I am a network engineer and I bought this for a job I had to do for a client which involved getting a wifi signal to a set of remote gate posts on a property for a smart intercom / doorbell.This product for me was both vastly cheaper than buying the amount of cat5 (ethernet) cable I needed and a million times easier than running it down the side of a very long driveway.I am incredibly impressed with this product and I use TP Link powerline networking gear a lot but the first time I used this model with the wifi option which not only worked really well the wifi signal this plug produced was very strong and rock solid and could be picked up from a considerable distance away.Setup literally could not be easier you simply plug the smaller of the two plugs into a electrical socket and plug one end of the supplied cat5 (ethernet) cable into the plug and the other end into the back of your broadband router (or network switch / patch panel etc). Then plug the bigger of the two plugs into a electrical socket in the area you want the extended wifi signal in. The bigger of the two plugs also have a ethernet / network port on it so you can plug a cable into it and then into the back of a computer, tv, games console etc and still benefit from the wifi extension too.Take it from someone who knows their stuff when it comes to this carry on.... this is a excellent piece of kit made by a manufacturer who is unable to make a bad product... TP Link are superb. The price paid is a bargain full stop but as I said above given the cost of the cable I would have to have used this for me was the bargain of the century and saved me a back breaking day of pulling cable.Cannot recommend highly enough... it's a no brainer ladies and gentlemen!

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful but not simple

O.K. · 8 January 2022

The Good:- It did speed up the Mbs in our wifi black spot (from a pathetic 12 to 30+)- Pairing the device was very straight forward.- Seems to work okay if plugged into an extension cable (but you might get lower speeds)The Bad.- Cloning the SSID from hub to the unit via WPS doesn’t work (work around below).- The app is pointless. Don’t bother.- The wifi seems to give faster speeds than connecting via cable? Very odd.- The drop off is significant. The speed of the wifi at our hub is around 100mbs but the best I can get from the TP-link is 44 (more usually in the higher 20s). That said if you have a dead spot that’s better than nothing!Other things to note.- For this to work the two sockets do need to be on the same wiring ring. For us the dead spot is in the converted loft (on a different ring) but bridging the gap by installing between floors has done the job.- You will need to clone the SSID / Password to make sure you don’t have sign in to two different wifi networks. The simple way is to press the wifi button on the unit and the WPS button on the router. This didn’t work for us. Don’t bother with the mobile app. That won’t help either. Search for “TP-Link Utility” in google and download to a laptop. From here you can set the SSID to the same as the one you currently have and the same for the password. Once you have done this as you walk round the house your device(s) will connect to the strongest signal.Overall it’s pricey and needs a bit of time, patience and IT knowledge to install (if things don’t go as per the instructions). BUT, I can now get strong enough internet in the home office so I don’t now freeze during Teams Calls… I’ll be needing a new excuse for dropping off those now.

5.0 out of 5 stars TP LINK 2.4 + 5 Power line kit

Ordered the cheaper 2.4 version but it was not strong enough to enable connection in my garden with the booster in my conservatory.This 2.4 + 5 version is far more expensive but enables wi-fi at high speed everywhere in my garden, this a a far superior unit that performs to perfection so far. Set up was easy and straight forward out of the box it was plug and play with only the password to enable connection. Perfect 5* unit, small, compact and smart looking.

Does the job as expected.

r.k. · 25 May 2021

I had 1000mbps tp link powerline. Added this to the same and configured it using tp link windows app(a must else you may not get the desired speeds as it takes random one as primary when multiple are connected).Was able to use primary of this one also as an extender as I already had a primary from the 1k Mbps extender. So I have 1 primary from 1k and 3 extenders with this.

buen artículo
