Pretty good price on the excellent TP-link AV2000 powerline kit, which offers you dual ethernet ports on each side.

MSY is offering this for $119, and Futu online is selling for $116 with PHONO coupon code, so Wireless1 is offering the best price today.

If you do not have eBay plus, purchase from FUTU to get the best price.

If you have problems with the size of the unit and it taking too much space on the power plug, consider buying some short 30cm length of extension cord from Selby's ebay store for roughly $10 a piece, in order to free up some space for adjacent power plugs.

  • HomePlug AV2 standard compliant, high-speed data transfer rates of up to 2000Mbps1, supports all your online needs
  • 2X2 MIMO with Beamforming establishes multiple simultaneous connections for you to enjoy higher powerline speeds and greater stability
  • 2 gigabit ports create secure wired networks for desktops, smart TVs or games consoles
  • Integrated power socket ensures no power outlet goes to waste
  • Plug and play, no configuration required
  • Patented Power-Saving Mode automatically reduces power consumption by up to 85%2

Actual speed on my unit is currently 147mbps, in a relatively new home with good wiring. Your mileage will vary depending on quality of your electrical wiring and whether or not you're on a 3-phase power circuit.

    Do your research on this.. I've found the earlier models to be both quicker and more stable (this is in a 2 year old house). You never get the theoretical speeds no matter what but these were slower significantly than the earlier models.

    And like every other powerline they take up both sockets with the large size..

    • CC123 on 17/05/2019 - 13:34

      When I first got this kit, used them in a Queenslander and almost got my normal internet speed (slight drop)
      Refer to comment below

      I have the 3 previous models, the really ancient AV500 ones, the AV1200 ones and this AV2000 one, I have found this one to be the fastest so far.

      Also a pic of my rather ghetto setup, the black extension cable is from Selby's and is allowing my Kill-A-Watt power meter to be placed adjacent to my powerline adapter. The powerline adapter is just sitting on an overturned wastebin.

    I have a pair of these, they are amazing!
    Ethernet direct to the router: 115 down and 6 up
    Using this Kit (upstairs and other side of the house and connected to a gigabit switch): 114 down and 5.7 up

    The only downside is that they cover the entire powerpoint meaning you lose the one to the right/left - if you need power just plug a powerboard into the passthrough

    • Zazer on 17/05/2019 - 13:39

      What's your speed if using Wifi?

      • CC123 on 17/05/2019 - 13:42

        I get like 1-2 of 4 bars of 5ghz - was around 50-65 Mbps hence why I got this kit.
        2.4ghz was full and like 50 Mbps
        If I am right next to the gateway and connected to the 5ghz network, it's 115 down and 5-6 up

        • Zazer on 17/05/2019 - 13:43

          Interesting. Thanks. Was planning on getting a PC without wifi capability, would you recommend to buy one of these or get a wifi adapter?

          • scrimshaw on 17/05/2019 - 13:45

            @Zazer: It depends on how strong your wifi signals will be when it reaches your PC… try using a smartphone app to measure Wifi signal strength in that particular room.

            • Zazer on 17/05/2019 - 13:46

              @scrimshaw: I currently use a laptop there. I get around 50 mbps in that location. Would a PC be the same? What would you recommend?

              • CC123 on 17/05/2019 - 13:49

                If you require bandwidth intense things, yeah I would get this kit but if it's just for surfing the net and emails, etc, 50 Mbps will be fine.

          • CC123 on 17/05/2019 - 13:47

            @Zazer: I would most certainly recommend them.
            But be aware they are around 7cm in width meaning you can only plug this powerline adapter in and nothing next to it. Of course you could always just do that and plug a powerboard into the passthrough for other things which I do.

    I have four of these. I highly recommend them. Two Xboxes, a Playstation, two smart tvs and pc all running on ethernet at tops speeds. Line speeds can be monitored via the TP-Link PC app, too.

  • superforever on 17/05/2019 - 14:04

    I have one pair no problem for Internet, browsing, etc. but don't expect fast file copy like gigabit LAN.

    Recently upgrade my Media Portal to version 2, large movie files will have a bit delay to start but still play OK.

    • Pixie13 on 17/05/2019 - 14:13

      Although not gigabit lan speeds, I average about 47 megabytes per second on large files with these things.

      • superforever on 17/05/2019 - 14:28

        I can't around 20MB/s may be I am a bit fast away.

        Just tried if I use an power extension cable (I know not good) to connect it to a closer power point I can get 35MB/s

        So how far away is important.

  • Mr BoMBAStiG on 17/05/2019 - 14:16

    What if I want to share data with an extension to my house that means the signal will pass through a meter box and separate RCDs?

    • superforever on 17/05/2019 - 14:29

      What if I want to share data with an extension to my house

      Have to be on the same circuit

    • Thrifty McGifty on 17/05/2019 - 14:41

      You will have to try it. There's no reason why they can't work through a circuit breaker, but I think the extra connections introduce noise and reduce speed. It's the same reason they tell you not to use powerboards or extension cords.

      I have mine working off separate circuit breakers, but if I go 5 meters to the next power point it doesn't work.

      • Mr BoMBAStiG on 18/05/2019 - 07:42

        $100 to try, I think I'll run a cable!

        • superforever on 19/05/2019 - 00:11

          I think I'll run a cable!

          If you can run a cable of course run a cable. This is for people can't run a cable.

  • Zippy7 on 17/05/2019 - 14:38

    I have one of these, I upgraded from older model (AV500?) anyway, they work fine.

    The cheaper solution to using the powerpoint is a double adapter from bunnings at $1.95 each.

    I do not recommend ANY TP-Link EOP/Powerline Adapters. There is a well-known issue affecting virtually their entire range of EOP/Powerline adapters for several years now, where they suffer intermittent disconnections that last anywhere from a few seconds to a minute and can occur every few hours.

    I don't have time to link specific, in-depth posts; but these Google searches with over 600,000 results each attest to the extremely widespread nature of the intermittent disconnection/loss of sync issue:

    https://www.google.com.au/search?source=hp&ei=SjjeXNjHAoml9Q…
    https://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en-AU&authuser=0&ei=Wjje…
    https://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en-AU&authuser=0&ei=QDve…

    There are over 500 forum threads reporting this issue on TP-Link's official forums, and the company have refused to even acknowledge the issue exists, much less provide any solutions (more here).

    I had the AV1200 version of these very adapters myself for 6 or 7 months before getting fed up with the inexplicable disconnections and confirming the problem had nothing to do with my hardware (despite finding a very ad-hoc workaround where you write a script to continously ping your router/modem to stop the adapter randomly losing sync). I switched to some D-Link EOP Adapters and magically, the problem was instantly and permanently solved and I've never seen anything like this issue with other brands of EOP Adapters, such as Netcomm.

    Stay well away from TP-Link's EOP Adapters. Their modems/routers are solid and earn their reputations, but their EOP hardware is garbage.

      That's a power saving feature that can be disabled using their utility. Actually there are no issues on my particular AV2000 unit, but that was a known issue for AV1200 prior to TP-link providing a the utility with the setting to disable the auto power save function.

        Disagree, check those forum posts. People still have the issue even after disabling the power-saving feature, as did I. Firmware updates also did nothing to resolve it.

      I have used many tplink powerline kits, from av500 to av2000 none have your problem, and I used tplink to replaced slow or unstable dlink, netcomm and netgear. Only problem I found is somehow av1200 can faster than av2000 at the same spot.

  • jasong on 17/05/2019 - 16:58

    With the mention of MSY in the description, it's worth noting that officeworks also sells this kit: https://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/tp-link-av…

  • effgee on 18/05/2019 - 15:05

    I'm confused by the mention od beamforming - that implies wireless, which doesn't get mentioned anywhere else in the specs.

    Do these include wifi capability ?

  • G77 on 28/05/2019 - 14:41

    Guys, need some advice. Currently have a FTTN connection - speed capped at 42 mbps. Can I get away with using something like this and this ?

    • superforever on 28/05/2019 - 23:13

      They are for two difference purpose, if you can connect two points by direct cable use cable.

      EoP only for people have difficult setting up cable.

      • G77 on 29/05/2019 - 09:15

        Entertainment unit is too far away to do direct cable. Was planning to use EOP and a switch for multiple connections. Viable option, you reckon?

        • superforever on 29/05/2019 - 09:22

          Was planning to use EOP and a switch for multiple connections. Viable option, you reckon?

          If too far away EOP may not be good (depends on how far away actually), better get the AV2000 the sync speed should be better than lower model.

          • G77 on 29/05/2019 - 09:25

            @superforever: Cheers super will try AV2000 then. Thanks for your help :)

            • superforever on 29/05/2019 - 09:49

              @G77: Around how far away actually? You can also use a network switch to split the connection for devices.

              • G77 on 29/05/2019 - 10:03

                @superforever: It's a 2 storey house, so about 30m or so? Was planning to use the switch to split the connection between Xbox, Voda TV and the TV.

                • superforever on 29/05/2019 - 10:13

                  @G77: Have to try, very depends on how long the power cable between two points.

                  Sometime if just upstairs and downstairs they may not that far away.

                  • G77 on 29/05/2019 - 10:25

                    @superforever: Hopefully it's within range. Planning to try tomorrow or so. I'll report back how I go. Thanks again mate!

                    • superforever on 31/05/2019 - 18:46

                      @G77: Finally after using the AV2000 for a few years I decided to run a long flat Ethernet cable to replace it.

                      Lately I have a few issue with the device, it randomly disconnecting/connecting by itself have to power it off and on, because it is so large I have all my computers connected to it so I have to turn everything off first because I could turn it off.
