TP-Link AV1000 Powerline Ethernet Adapter - Nano Size, Gigabit Port, PlugPair&Play, Ethernet Over Power, Power Saving Mode, Network Adapter, 𝐀𝐝𝐝-𝐨𝐧 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐭 (TL-PA7017)

I have a garage with power about 100' from my house. I built a barn about 100' from this garage and ran a cat 6E cable between the two. On the barn I have a solar array that can connect to the internet. My problem was getting the internet to the garage. I installed an outlet in the line to the garage in my house near my router. I then plugged this power line adapter into that outlet and ran an ethernet cable from my network switch to the power line adapter. I then plugged the other end of the powerline adapter into an outlet in the garage and ran an ethernet cable from the power line adapter to the ethernet cable that goes to my barn, connecting them with an RJ45 coupler. Works like a charm. The connectivity is great and I put an Eero in the barn and internet is great. The value is wonderful as the alternative is to dig a trench and bury an ethernet cable. The ease of installation was a breeze - although I have been using power line adapters for over 10 years - always TP-Link.

I've been aware of these types of adapters for some time, but have never used them. I needed to purchase a set to provide an internet connection for one of my computers that is upstairs, not near my modem, and requires a Ethernet connection because it doesn't have Wi-Fi capabilities. So, I ordered these TP-Link adapters, which were delivered the same day, and had them connected and working with no problems within a few minutes of opening them. Very easy setup with clear instructions provided in the printed documentation included in the box, or using the digital documentation provided on the support site. I also downloaded the management utility from the support site, which is handy for checking the adapters' status, changing some device settings, and checking/updating the firmware. I wasn't 100% sure from looking at the support site if the firmware version installed on my adapters was the latest available, so I reached out to TP-Link support via the chat on the support site. The chatbot wasn't able to answer my question, but I was easily able to get through to a live support agent, Kristine Mae, via the chat. Kristine was very friendly, helpful, and able to confirm quickly that the firmware version I saw for my devices via the management utility was the latest and greatest. Very pleased with the product and the support!

Just received the AMAZON delivery. Install was very easy, I made sure that both connections were on the same circuit. Did a speed test via SPECTRUM, as well as OoKla & the new connection speed was within acceptable ranges. My only problem with this purchase is that AMAZON sent me a 10' cat6 that was cut in half...needless to say that it is in the return/replace process. So after you install devices on both ends, all 3 leds need to be lit...that means you have a successful network connection. This is a great option in place of wired connections.

Keep in mind that any powerline adapter is ETHERNET ONLY. You cannot use a powerline adapter to extend your wifi or mesh. This is really good for somebody who really really needs a wired Ethernet connection but is too far from the router and doesn’t want to run a 100 plus foot cable onto the wall/floor and around things with a possible signal loss due to cable length. Disclaimer: Our ISP is coaxial only. We can’t get fiber at our house and cable is the next best option. My review is based on that type of connection. Here’s how it worked for me: I also ordered a couple of cat8 Ethernet cables (overkill maybe but I want the best speed and latency possible at any given time no compromises and the cat8’s were about 5 bucks each so why not go all in?) and this system. They also came with their own Ethernet cables I had no idea they would but the stock ones I’m not using. I was surprised to find that it actually worked on its own without any paring needed. At first I had the router end plugged into the far corner of the living room on its own outlet but that one was too far and the speed was pretty low. I moved it to a busier outlet that was a bit closer to my room from the living room and still managed to get it plugged in on its own and the speed jumped right back up. The other end goes to my console, and while my in-game performance was doing pretty well over wifi, there would be occasional spikes. This seems to have eliminated that but at first when i had it on the far outlet the latency seemed much much worse than wifi. In game latency at first setup jumped from 32 (over wifi) to over 70-80 with this system but then after a few days it came back down. I also do remote play sometimes so this helps a little on the sending end with stability. The consoles NATIVE speed test now shows around 28-36ms ping (I was getting that over wifi too) and about 40 or so in game. Interesting enough my in-game used to stay around 30 or so but those spikes seem to be gone so the extra 8-10 loss in my game doesn’t feel too big for the better stability that I now have. I thought this might just be a server issue but I use the same server as I did before and it’s just a little higher not noticeably. Keep in mind you HAVE to plug both adapters directly into an outlet no matter what for these to be effective. Absolutely no surge protectors or extension cords or none of that. Overall this works good for me, it fixed most of what I needed it to, and provides a wired Ethernet connection without being close to the router as I’m unable to anyway. Speeds remain the same as before though no change.

I am back, liking this product so much, bought another to extend to my office desktop computer. In January 2023 I bought my first power line Ethernet adapter kit on the recommendation of a Spectrum installer. I live in a small brick house, and it's not great for a signal. Trying to stream anything in front bedroom was frustrating as was spooling or no signal. After finding this, Netflix came in so fast, nothing ever spooled again. Here we are 2026 and decided it was time to get the office computer off WiFi and go direct via Ethernet and ditch their POD. Easy pairing up, but make sure you have the Ethernet plugged in to device and the bottom to get the 3 lights on . I had to buy a longer Ethernet cable than what was supplied and went to a higher quality. Works perfect with 14', the signal display on computer shows wired in, just make sure you remove the WiFi so it doesn't compete and you are good to go! Super fast WiFi at a great price! I highly recommend this, best kept secret out there!! I'm very happy finally finding a better low cost solution.

Ponctuel

I received my order today, the setup was very straightforward and I'm very happy with my purchase. It arrived two days earlier, quite impressed with the seller. Thank you.

Lo conecto a mi Xbox para jugar en línea, y es muy estable. Altamente recomendado, y que tenga el Plug adicional se agradece profundamente. No estas desperdiciando contactos.

Plugged it in, synced automatically, works very well. I'm getting 100% of the speed of my 50/10Mbps connection. Highly recommend this product. I live in a large (200+ unit) highrise built with wiring from the 1960's, so I was very concerned about interference (lots of microwaves, devices, wiring age, etc.), but there is no problem. My unit has its own circuit breaker box, so I assume all the connections go into that common point, so if you're also an urban dweller like me, you don't have to worry about interference so much. It seems to work exceptionally well. I had ethernet cables going through my kitchen floor to my desktop workstation and WiFi was serving my Chromecast and Roku TV. The Chromecast would absolutely have WiFi interference drops with streaming becoming a pain, this resolves that problem. I got an Ethernet adapter and switch and connected the Roku TV, Chromecast, and my desktop via ethernet and gone are the problems I had. No cables across the floor, no WiFi interference. Ping times and response rates are what you'd expect with wireline. Absolutely a great product.

Funcionó perfecto, totalmente compatible con netgear
