TP-Link Powerline WiFi Extender TL-WPA7617 - AC1200 Dual Band Powerline Network Extender, Gigabit Port, Passthrough, OneMesh, Ethernet Over Power, 𝐀𝐝𝐝-𝐨𝐧 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐭

Worked really great,put it in my shop witch is 70 feet away from my house and got really good Internet connection and easy to install.

This was easy to install and it increased the speed and range of my wifi. Great value for money. Great quality and the cable length was perfect but could be a bit longer

Tried everything to get it to improve our WiFi signal. Utilized the same circuit breaker, tpPLC app, internet searches, etc. but failed to improve our WiFi until . . . . . What they could let you know is that you need to connect to its SSID (WiFi name) which is not apparent, even in the app. After looking at the list of WiFi network SSID’s to connect to, I noticed a TP-Link connection. I tried it and it worked. So your device has to connect to another network name. After all, it’s not an extender of your current WiGi, but a powerline network adapter. Using an online internet speed check, it’s not faster than my original home WiFi, but the signal is stronger, which is what was needed.

We moved into an 1880 stone house. Everyone said, including our internet installer, that we would have issues getting WiFi inside the house. My I.T. manager at work recommended this. It works beautifully! It provides a signal through the electrical system of our house AND each plug in module also provides it wirelessly for laptops, etc. We are EXTREMELY pleased with how easy this was to set up and how amazingly it works! No fuss No muss

Our cable internet provider says our signal should be at least 500 Mbps down, and currently a wired connection measures in the low 600’s. Wi-Fi on the other side of the house drops to about 330 Mbps. Powerline Wi-Fi extenders have been recommended by folks who should know on online forums to which we belong, so we hoped this extender would provide a good signal throughout the house, including some places where we don’t have one. However, with the adapter plugged into a port on the router, the extender barely produced 30 Mbps when plugged into an outlet on the same electrical circuit. This is good enough to stream 4K video, but no useable signal was present when we plugged into an outlet where we needed it, so we returned the device for a refund. My husband fiddled with it for a week or so, but it just didn’t work in our house. Perhaps the poor performance is due to the way our house is wired. It was built in 1989 when houses were wired room by room, with outlets and lighting fixtures on the same circuit. Or maybe there is some other reason. As a sidebar I can report that powerline Wi-Fi is compatible with X-10 home automation, as all our X-10 devices continued to work. X-10 is an older home automation protocol which wouldn’t be installed today, but since our system works just fine there is no need to replace it. Or maybe the reason there was no interference between the two systems is because the Wi-Fi signal was so weak. Strange that our house wiring supports an old automation protocol but not a new Wi-Fi system.

I got the TP-Link Powerline Wi-Fi Extender because my Wi-Fi signal was terrible upstairs. Setting it up was a breeze - even with the somewhat basic instructions, I had it up and running in no time. That was definitely a plus. Having the extender finally gave me Wi-Fi upstairs, which was great. But, to be honest, it was a lot slower than my weak Wi-Fi signal. I was hoping for a bigger improvement, especially since it advertises speeds up to 1200 Mbps. Disappointing! Overall Thoughts: Look, if you have a dead zone with absolutely no Wi-Fi signal, this extender will get you connected. But don't expect blazing-fast speeds. It's a trade-off - easy setup for a weaker connection. For me, it did not work. If you already have a weak Wi-Fi signal and are looking for a performance boost, this probably isn't the answer. Additional Notes: Just a heads-up, I read that the extender's performance can be affected by your home's electrical wiring. That might be why mine wasn't as speedy as I er hoped.

I have an Archer AX11000 router. I previously had added a OneMesh node using a TP-Link range extender (has to be One of their OneMesh compatible RE Models). I wanted to add another node to my detached garage in order to add some home automation out there. I was concerned that a OneMesh range extended would not work well because of the distance and the structure. This Powerline Wifi extender was the answer. My garage uses the same power circuit as my house, so I was able to set up the base next to my router and put the receiver/wifi in my garage. I got a strong signal and the Wifi setup was simple. Once it was set up and working normally I wanted to turn it into a OneMesh node. All I had to do was open my main router in the Tether app, go to Tools > OneMesh. The new Powerline adapter appeared in the list of OneMesh devices on the network. I clicked it, turned on the OneMesh slider, and 30 seconds later I had a OneMesh node in my garage.

If you have an outbuilding like a workshop that is metal you know it does not let wifi signal in. We tried everything but this was the only cheap solution! It carries the wifi signal through your electric wiring! So if your outbuilding is on the same electric as your house this will work! If you are trying to use a TV, make sure it has the jack for this or you will have to get a cheap 2nd router to use the 2nd box with it instead. TP Link has a $30 router if you need one. Setup was simple!

Não funcionou

Me gusta que solo conectas ese cuadrito en una parte centrica en tu casa y listo. En mi cuarto gamer tengo el model y lo conecto con cable ethernet y ya tengo internet disponible en todo mi departamento con muy buena señal y tengo ya 2 años con el articuli y me encanta

This extender worked great and was easy to install. We had a couple of dead zones in our home and now we are able to get great wifi all over the house

Not suitable for sale in the UK. Has an American style plug and is incompatible with UK electrical wiring. Scan computers sell the UK version of this item.

Verdaderamente da gusto encontrar equipos que funcionen de una forma tan sencilla como este: Se conecta acá, se conecta allá, ¡y ya está! Exagero un poquito tal vez: Quise verme "fino" y extender de forma transparente la red de casa tal como la tengo configurada, y el botón de WPS no funcionó (a pesar de que tanto mi modem/ruteador y el extensor lo tienen). Sin embargo, me bastó entrar a la configuración provista por éste sobre su red local, y no tuve ningún problema. Ahora estoy esperando por uno adicional, pues compré otro equipo para instalar en casa de mis suegros 🙂
