TP-Link AV2000 Powerline Ethernet Adapter TL-PA9020P KIT - Powerline Network Adapter, Passthrough, 2x2 MIMO, 2 Gigabit Ports, Ethernet Over Power, Plug Pair & Play, Power Saving, Free Expert Help

I purchased these powerline adapters after our development ditched DSL for AT&T Fiber. Now that I had 1 GB of speed, I wanted to improve the throughput of the older TP-Link powerline adapters I'd been using for over 12 years! They worked pretty well, but tose were limited to 200 Mbps (TP-Link AV200) and sometimes had to be reset to regain connectivity. The AV2000 is a major upgrade. They have a maximum speed of 2 Gbps, MIMO, an additional Ethernet port on the bottom of the unit and a passthrough AC in the unit itself. They have never disconnected from each other and provide a fast, stable way to distribute a signal to an area that can't receive wireless or that would benefit from the higher bandwidth of aa wired connection. As an example, I use them to connect a TV to an Apple TV 4K on our patio where wireless isn't strong enough for a reliable connection. The difference in performance over the AV200 is night and day. These are a major upgrade from what I was using, but then again, the ones I had were purchased in 2013. If I have a criticism, it's that they are twice as large as the AV200's I was using. If you plug a device into the AC passthrough, it becomes pretty bulky. It makes hiding the device a bit more challenging and requires at least a few inches of depth to hide it behind a piece of furniture. In exchange for the drawback, the performace of the AV2000 is sensational and makes extending your network a very simple chore!

Don’t let the name "AV2000" mislead you—while it implies gigabit or even 2-gigabit speeds, you won’t quite reach those numbers in real-world conditions. However, the Ethernet speeds are still very fast and more than capable of handling streaming, gaming, and general connectivity needs across your home. What makes these powerline adapters shine is their convenience. Running dedicated Ethernet cables through ceilings, floors, or multiple walls is often impractical. These devices let you set up a high-performance wired network without cutting drywall or making permanent changes to your home. It's a clean, non-invasive solution that just works. Setup is completely plug-and-play. You don’t need to install any software or configure settings. Simply plug one unit into a wall outlet near your router and connect it via Ethernet. Then, plug the other unit into an outlet near the device you want to connect—whether that’s a smart TV, game console, or printer—and you’re done. It's that easy. There is a basic utility provided that lets you monitor the adapters, check firmware versions, and update them if needed, but it’s not required for setup or everyday use. Overall, I’m very pleased with the TP-Link AV2000 kit. It’s reliable, fast, and makes extending wired connections in your home incredibly easy. I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone who needs better connectivity without the hassle of physical network cabling.

Purchased product to provide internet access to devices in remote areas without fishing ethernet lines through walls by utilizing electrical outlets. Internet will still work if one adapter is on the 1st floor and the 2nd adapter is plugged in the 2nd floor on separate circuits, just remember to press the pair button on both devices (one adapter must ethernet cable to device providing internet). Adapter speed is limited by buyers internet plan and has max speed cap of 2000mbps i.e. adapter will not magically provide 2k speed if internet plan is only for 300mbps. Personally only got around 100+ mbps steadily (which mirrors other reviewers' results) which is much better than 20 mbps wireless and 1000 latency. Downloads, home and security devices function surprisingly well at 100mbps. Tried shielded and unshielded cable with no speed change. Despite product marketing, it's unlikely adapter will ever reach max advertised speed based on testing info found online. Even with ideal conditions the experiment was unable to reach highr speeds. An "explanation of powerline rate" and how to calculate "actual speed" to expect is on TP-Link's website with some digging (copypaste support/faq/2928/ in address field at main webpage). Device is just tall enough to make the 2nd receptacle in an electrical outlet unusable for standard 3 prong plugs (obstructs ground port) but skinny/slim 3 prong type plugs will fit. 15 amp outlet is built into the adapter's face but prefer not using it because the device is hot to the touch. Be aware the two included ethernet cables are only 6ft. Tl;dr - 100mbps avg, easy plug and use adapter. Those who want to fully utilize their high speed internet plan should look into different technology like MOCA otherwise commit to opening up the walls and fish ethernet cables properly or be okay with looking at cables running along the walls/floor. Update: About 7 months of use, 1 of 2 abruptly stopped working. There was a low whining sound when plugged in but none of the led lights lit up. TpLink customer service is helpful, once you connect with a human, but it's a waste of time. They'll ask for your info, device details, and device issue then send you an email to submit a ticket online with all the info you told the agent, again. So skip the phone call and go straight to writing a ticket online. I shouldered cost of shipping the rma to them but they paid to ship the replacement to me. If it's a kit, you must send back both devices to recieve a replacement. Paid $11 x2 at usps due to this mistake. The agent kept me updated on the status of the rma the whole time.

Wasn’t sure this was going to work for my situation. I put this in my garage which is approximately 200 ft from my house. Metal building, so reception inside is slim to none. I run this through the power line option. Works good once you know which leg in the garage you need to use. The only thing that seems to interfere with it is when my welder is plugged in, but once it’s off it works again. It’s by no means super fast but I can send pics from inside the garage with all the doors closed. It was easy to pair inside the house. So far it’s been worth the money since I was in to big a hurry to run ethernet cable when running my electric.

Sirve excelente, es un conecta y navega. Ya trae los cables ethernet, y aunque son cortos me sirvieron justo Me sirve incluso para jugar el Overwatch sin lag

Le kit CPL TP-Link TL-PA4015P de TP-Link fonctionne très bien. L’installation est extrêmement simple : il suffit de brancher les deux adaptateurs sur des prises électriques et de connecter le câble Ethernet au routeur et à l’appareil souhaité. En quelques secondes, la connexion est active. La vitesse est stable et idéale pour regarder des vidéos en streaming, jouer en ligne ou travailler sur internet dans une pièce éloignée du routeur. Le gros avantage de ce modèle est la prise électrique intégrée, ce qui permet de ne pas perdre une prise murale. Les points positifs : • Installation rapide et facile • Connexion internet stable • Prise intégrée très pratique • Bon rapport qualité-prix Petit point à noter : les performances peuvent dépendre de l’installation électrique de la maison, mais dans mon cas la connexion est très fiable. Je recommande ce produit pour étendre facilement sa connexion internet dans la maison sans tirer de câble.

Genial, te ahorras tener cables por medio

Ça fonctionne bien mais un peu compliqué a synchroniser

First, I bought this for a unique situation, where a garage has been converted to a living space. It had been rewired professionally, which means...it's not on the same mast/circuit as the one where the modem is connected in the house. So this did not work for that scenario. But fast forward a few months... Different location, big house, modem is in a room upstairs for a work from home situation, and that is a significant distance from 4 other bedrooms, tvs in each one, 9 wifi security cameras, multiple phones, etc. The main adapter is connected next to the modem, directly in the outlet (cannot be installed in power bars or extension cords, MUST be in the outlet). The 2nd one is on the other side of the house, downstairs, quite a ways off, behind a brick fireplace where wifi was a challenge. It connected without ANY issues whatsover. And it works great! Don't expect to get gig speeds out of it but it's definitely handling the demand for streaming, phones, tvs, cameras, etc. And it's hardwired to a laptop in addition to wifi output, which is a difficult combination to find, it seems. Most comparable products are hardwire only, NO wifi. There's a good possibility that we could add a few more of these to the arsenal to fill in gaps for the cameras on the opposite side of the house, too. They ARE large, but the pass thru outlet on these makes that less of an issue, too. I have used other brands that disconnected...yet these have been connected since December and do not appear to have dropped at all. Good quality and reliable product, I would not hesitate to recommend!
