TP-Link TL-PA4010PKIT Passthrough Powerline Adapter Starter Kit, No Configuration Required, UK Plug, Pack of 2

After I got this device, it found it has UK plug, in Canada it can not be used.

I purchased the 2-Port 600mbps Passthrough Powerline kit and it has greatly enhanced my home network connectivity range.The powerline adaptors give me a reliable and convenient solution for extending the network connection throughout my house.Pros:Easy Setup: The powerline kit is wonderfully easy to set up.You simply plug one adapter into a power outlet close to your router and connect the adaptor via an Ethernet cable.The second adaptor goes into a power socket in the desired room and again using an ethernet cable connect to your device.There is no complicated setting up or wiring, you simply plug and go.I've had mine running for a while now and the connection is fast and Stable.The powerline adaptors cleverly utilise the electric circuits in your home to extend the internet network.This creates a strong and steady connection, ideal for my internet needs such as online gaming and streaming TV.Socket outlets are a premium in my house so it was important not to lose the only one close to the TV and Xbox, so I opted for the pass through adaptors, this allows you to use the power outlet for other devices without sacrificing an available socket.The adaptors are both the same so it doesn't matter which one goes where, they both have the same pass through so you don't lose the use of a socket and each have a single Ethernet port, this allows you to connect a single device or you can add a multi port ethernet box which are inexpensive and work well, this will provide extra flexibility for connecting multiple devices, such as gaming consoles, smart TVs, and computers.The adaptors have green led lights showing that power is on and network is ok which is handy, plus they aren't too bright in the bedroom.Cons:Need to be on the same circuit to work.So if you want to use it in the shed or your upstairs sockets are on a different one to downstairs then it won't work.The longer the circuit then the effectiveness of the adaptor may diminish but in a standard house is not an issue.Overall, the 600mbps Passthrough Powerline Adaptors are a solid reliable solution for extending network connectivity throughout your home.With its easy plug and go setup, solid connection, passthrough outlet, and god Ethernet speed it's an easy option for improving network reach.I would recommend these as a great addition to any home network.

I got these for my student accommodation where the router is in the living room and there are no ethernet ports in the rooms. I bought two sets, one for the router, one for the Steam-Link by the TV, and one each for the two desktops in each bedroom.The connection is fast and stable, being able to fully utilise my internet connection with no slow-downs, nice! Streaming using the Steam-Link feels like just using a HDMI cable, absolutely no stuttering or latency. Mouse movement is fast and responsive. Using all 4 at once also has no effect on the internet speed, I expect with download speeds approaching their limit, you may find that it’ll stop going up, which is expected.The devices probably won’t reach the connection speed advertised on the box. This number is theoretical and achievable in very strict test conditions. Under normal use in a house with decent electrics I imagine you should get over 80% of the speed advertised. So if you require these for high load networking then purchase a model with a slightly higher achievable speed than your requirements.Setup was easy. You can either download a tool and use it to manage your network, or simply press the pair button on two devices. To setup 4, first pair any two together. Then press the pair button of any adapter in the network (either of the two you just paired) and then press the pair button on another one. Repeat this as many times as you need to link all the adapters together. I expect the more you add the less maximum speed you’ll be able to get as the one by the router has to feed every other adapter.Really happy with this purchase, does the job very well and are actually much faster and more reliable than I expected. This will be my home networking solution from now on.***If you found my review helpful please don’t forget to mark it as helpful below, thanks!***

My son constantly complained about the broadband speed when gaming with his friends online. This was very frustrating as I have one of the fastest broadband packages you can get. After speaking to our service provider they suggested trying to hardwired items like gaming computers and consoles that require super fast connection speeds for streaming gaming and movies.Having read multiple reviews on all the available adapters I decided to give these TP-Line adapters a go.Setting up is very straight forward. Do the following: -Plug in both adapters to sockets close to each other (to start with)Press the pair button on one of the adapters for 1 second. The green LED indicator starts flashingNext, within 2 minutes press the pair button on the 2nd adapter. The green LED indicator starts flashing on this too.When both LED's on both adapters stop flashing the units are paired. (This can take up to 2 minutes)After the units have paired: -Plug in one of the adapters by your internet router and connect the cable from the adapter into the back of your router.Place the 2nd adapter where you require a internet connection and connect the CAT lead to your device.Job done. Remember to turn off the WiFi on your laptop / connected device.Adding additional adapters is easy: -Plug in the new adapter and press the pair button. The green LED indicator starts flashingOn one of the other adapters (already part of the network) press the pair button within 2 minutes. The green LED indicator starts flashing.When both LED's on both adapters stop flashing the new adapter unit has paired with the other network adapters. EasyAfter reading that the adapters are only supplied with Cat 5 cables (max speed 100Mbps) instead of enhanced Cat 5e (max speed 1000Mbps) the full throughput cannot be achieved without purchasing some better CAT leads. I opted for some CAT6 leads just because they slightly better quality than CAT5e stopping cross-talk (noise interference from other cables)So far these powerline adapters seem to have done the job. Very happy with these internet passthrough powerline adapters.I would have given 5 stars if the kit had better CAT cable.

Does exactly what's expected, very simple, I'm very happy. I wanted to give it five stars, but for some reason it only accepted four stars!
