I thought it works through neutral or grounding, so if there is a separate panel on another floor with a different phase, it unfortunately does not work.
It is an excellent product.
You plug it in and it just works.
I have the router on the top floor and this one on the bottom.
Well, on the balcony of the top floor, it provides a better signal than the router itself that is upstairs!
It really is worth every euro.
The speeds for me are 50+ Mbps with a 100 Mbps line.
Okay, there is a slight loss due to the nature of data transmission over the power network, but that is reasonable.
I highly recommend it. I have connected this device through powerline over a long distance in my garden and it transmits at around 50-60 Mbps on approximately 100 meters. I have connected 4 cameras and they work perfectly. It also connects with any other TP-Link device you want and they all synchronize with each other!
The only issue I am facing is with the synchronization to retrieve my network data, but it might be something I am doing wrong. Other than that, it easily and quickly does what it "promises"!
The specific WPA4220 KIT V4 duo from TP-Link is one of the best sellers on the market and was purchased to replace the extender I had at home.
It consists of the adapter that connects to the router via Ethernet and the extender that is placed in another area of the space and transmits the Wi-Fi signal. Specifically, TP-Link provides 500Mbps for wired connections and up to 300Mbps for 4th generation Wi-Fi. The extender has two Ethernet ports, so if necessary, it can also be used in this way.
Their connection was very easy, a simple plug and play, a pairing, and everything worked perfectly. After some tests, of course, as the signal depends on the quality of the circuit in the space and their intermediate connections. These apply, of course, to all powerlines, and I would recommend borrowing one before making a purchase to test if the speeds and performance meet your needs. I tried it in several outlets until I found the one with the highest speed, as there were significant variations. And under no circumstances should they be placed in a power strip, only on the wall.
In good locations, tests on the extender showed up to 80% of the router's Mbps, even at a considerable distance from room to room.
I highly recommend the TP-Link WPA4220 KIT based on its performance and, of course, its price at 55-65€. The only downside is that they do not have outlets for the power they occupy, although this is something that is found in more expensive models.
I have had it for several years and initially I was satisfied. Then it started disconnecting and not connecting. Today, I have been struggling for months to figure out what is wrong and it doesn't work in specific outlets while the lights turn on. It has several issues now and I don't know the reason. It's better to buy a more expensive or different brand, I don't know, I am disappointed and tired with this particular one.
Having put too many (always as a last resort) as a network technician and electrician, I will say some things to help.
As for the work they do, whether it's tp link or another brand, yes, they all do it pretty well... easy management either via IP or through their applications... various WiFi settings, etc., all good.
Now, as for their connectivity and how much speed they will achieve without disconnections, this varies and is different in each installation.
What everyone says about the power strip and the T is true, and not because of them, but because there are other devices on the same "power line" that create "interference" on the 50Hz frequency of the power.
You can plug them directly into a socket and they still may not work properly or at all, and this is because a motor, for example, or a large UPS draws power on the same line, creating these interferences.
They work more easily in single-phase, but still not always perfectly due to the interferences mentioned above.
In three-phase, the only thing that works is the devolo. But still, my advice is to have an electrician marry the sockets in the same phase and preferably in the same panel. If they are from different panels due to floors and there are leakage relays that cut the neutral, then it becomes even more complicated. In that case, the electrician will need to pull a separate line, so why not pull a UTP to finish it?
I only use them when there is no other solution and we don't want to make a mess. Empirically, it has happened to work properly in a house with a single-phase panel, but because the neighbor's turtle is in the same arrangement, it creates so much interference in the network due to a pool motor and some inverters, and thus the performance drops.
Easy connection simply. Communication between components at a considerable distance. Simply needs to be plugged in alone to avoid interference and reach far.
If your electricals are not in bad condition, it works fine... avoid having it on a power strip... If not possible, at least put it in the first position after the cable...
Unacceptable. On a 50 VDSL router and in the same power strip, the speed drops from 47.5 Mbps to 8 Mbps on wifi at a distance of 80 centimeters. In another room, about 12 meters away, the speed struggles at 0.8 Mbps. I simply wasted my money and they won't give it back!
After approximately one week of use, I finally have a bell signal throughout the entire house!!! It was worth every last euro! Zero loss in VDSL 50. An important detail, you connect it directly to the wall or in a T shape, using a power strip results in significant loss! Very easy installation, it pairs in a few seconds.
If you don't have any other option, you go for this. I already had a connection with a wifi extender and I thought this would have better speed. That's why I bought it. With a 100mbps line, the wifi extender reaches 25mbps while this specific plc reaches 7-10mbps.
Guys, I was furious with the TP Link, it kept disconnecting... I almost broke it.!!! Until I found the solution on YouTube. You need to constantly ping because it goes into idle mode and disconnects... It's neither the fault of multiple sockets nor anything else. Watch the video and save yourselves.!!!! Now I'm surfing just fine.!!!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Al3kwmfzsOQ&t=232s
It's not worth the money at all! Everything was working fine for the first month, but then it started disconnecting me at least 5-6 times a day. It constantly showed problems that would disappear the next day, and the customer service I receive from the company is minimal on any issue. I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy!
Many and various are the problems with this specific device.
It constantly disconnects, I'm talking every 5 to 30 seconds (and I'm not exaggerating).
I tried to do a firmware update, where it told me that the file I was using is wrong. Eventually, the problem was the huge name of the file that I downloaded from the TPLink website, which contained the firmware update!!!! I renamed it to something simple and the upgrade proceeded.
The problem didn't fix itself and after noticing that it was constantly changing addresses, I plugged in an address from my router. Strangely enough, it still kept changing addresses, so I finally plugged in the same address on the TPLink. There it finally worked.
I bought it to take advantage of the 100 Mbps connection I have and be able to connect a cable to my computer. I don't reach 100 Mbps, I reach 70... okay, let's say it's the cables in my house. Apart from that, I get blocked by the 2.4 GHz wireless network it distributes, and I never exceed (wirelessly) 24 Mbps...
Things are difficult... The least I can say is that I should have gotten the dual-band version...
I burned 2, and if they didn't burn, it wouldn't transfer internet to the room where I stopped it, just as long as I resynchronize and do it again.
edit: After 3 months, they stopped working and the 3rd pair was also good, I had the guarantee and now they changed them without answering what happened!
I bought this specific product because the repeater I have been using since 2015 is not sufficient for home use.
Very simple installation instructions with direct synchronization to the old name and code of the router.
What can I say? Both yes and no. The installation troubled me, the instructions are unclear, it disconnects easily. It's not that it's useless, but for this money, I expected something fire and forget. Not at all like this.
I have had it for about 1 week and it is excellent. I connected it to the router and then placed it much further away from the router and it still had a signal, at least 100 meters away, and it works perfectly fine
Unbelievable tool! It solved my home internet problem while I had tried all kinds of extenders and none of them worked. Now I have perfect speed in the area where I placed it without any disconnections!
First day of implementation. However, I have that pair where one is pass through and I placed the PC power strip on top of it. Device name. WiFi subnet name. Separate subnet code. Guest. In separate lines with separate fuses and the WiFi extender in a distant room. My own cat6 cables, they have cat5 inside. The second one in the first socket of the power strip. 100 Mbps line and the WiFi gives 276 Mbps. I will come back.
I have recommended it to 2 different people as a budget solution. It does the job, but sometimes within the 2-month period, it loses connection to the source for some reason, and of course, they don't have wifi in the areas where they have placed it.
One person fixes the problem by unplugging it for a while and plugging it back in.
The other person, however, is not so lucky. Many times, they go through the process of resetting the source and resynchronizing it. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't (I don't know the reason). They simply leave it plugged in, and at some point, it synchronizes, it may take 1-2 days. (and now that I'm writing this review, it has happened again, and since it happens constantly, I thought I should mention it)
I have 3 "receivers" from another well-known company, and I have never had such a problem. I believe it's worth spending a little more money and having peace of mind.
Very good product.. Easy connection with 2 buttons..
On the ground floor, with three-phase power on a 50-amp line, I reach almost maximum speeds of 50mbps..
Be careful not to have it on a power strip.. And try to have it as close as possible to the electrical panel.. I noticed differences of up to 40mbps when going from one outlet to another..
All OK... Very easy to install!!!!!!.....; just for functional reasons, if I were to buy again, I would get one with a built-in plug, a small detail but very practical!!!!...... of course, my installation is completely subjective...️
Quite a good product, sometimes it gets stuck and requires a restart. However, it does what it says! Of course, let me open a parenthesis here and say the following! With the same amount of money, you can buy a router that can offer you much more than what TP offers you! Do your research before making any purchase...
His connection is very easy. In the second power strip I tried, it worked perfectly and I still have it there. Its speed is exceptional. It's worth its money
