    I am afraid does TP-Link have back door when big brother want to watch me?

    • What do you mean ?

        Oh sorry I type on wrong post, I should go to the router post.

    I have these. Only 2 problems.
    1 - doesnt have the wifi option (as in to work as a range extender)
    2 - the device is so big if you have to powerpoints next to each other, this covers the whole area and doesn't let you use the power point next to it.

    • Please note number 2 here.

      Source: I'm a numpty that bought this and it's a nightmare. Just too large and too long, can barely use it in the most useful sockets.

      • I agree. I've got the 600mbps version and it's already too big for dual outlet panels. However you can connect it to a powerboard or short extension leads and should have no effect on the speed.

    • The TP-Link powerline-wifi options are kind of crap. The wifi part of the pair has a DHCP server that is extremely hard to turn off. Tends to turn itself on again if there is any interruption to the gateway connection. I had one for several months and got rid of it after reading a lot of the TP-Link forums and concluding they were never going to fix this.

      But the AV2000 powerline only units are rock solid - we have three and they are absolutely reliable (at the cost of absolutely gigantic).

    I perchased one a few months back, setup was easy but speed was terrible, got roughly 300mbps between 2 rooms (downstairs and upstairs, distance is less than 3m, I guess they are using the same powerline), and returned the devices next day. The speed heavily depends on the quality of existing powerline, load, devices and circuits.

      That's the sorta speed you should be expecting.

      The Gigabit quotes are crap on these adapters in general.

    • Impressed you got 300mbs. Had these couple years max speed for me is 150mbs.

    • Powerline products were always this bad. The technology is just not polished.

      I'd rather set the bar low as they're really just used for maintaining connectivity in hard-to-reach locations. If speed is really a problem, better pull a ethernet cable instead.

    I swapped out an ASUS powerline setup that was up and down like a yoyo for these units and it's been a lot more solid. It would still occasionally fall over but as other people have said it is very dependent on the quality of the wiring in your home and how it navigates around devices like tumble dryers which cause interference. I get around the issue of the size of the unit by plugging them into power strips / 4 gangs and there was not drop off in performance.

  • what is the best budget choice (sub 100) for powerlines that only do powerlines (no wifi all those crap)?

    • PA4010P kit at OW is < $100

      I've got this exact kit. Runs ~100-200mbps in reality in a small home end to end. My expectation towards powerline products is that you must be realistic about their performance. It's for OK-ish connectivity to places that you simply cannot run cables to (like a shared apartment with meh roommates and ugh landlord).

      Though I don't need them anymore so message me if you're interested to give them a home :)

    Better to spend the money towards getting a qualified data electrician to run a network cable between both points (or better yet throughout the whole house), if there is sufficient access. Powerline adapters are not a permanently stable solution and sometimes get out of sync and are susceptible to interference, creating connection dropouts and tech headaches. Best to just get the network wiring done properly instead of cheaping out with these, but each to their own.

      When you're renting?

  • +1

    I've used this, they strongly recommend you plug this directly into the wall socket (not an extension board) - they can dropout from time to time but overall pretty good.

  • Yes you get 2-300 but it's very rock solid, constant and reliable unlike wifi and very low ping. It will decide on a speed fast as possible on your wiring. For huge backups or file transfer will be slow but for your internet stuff or 4k streaming or gaming it's great. We have 4 units, 2x2packs
