TP-LinkAV1000 Powerline WiFi Extender(TL-WPA7510 KIT)- Powerline Adapter with Dual Band WiFi, Gigabit Port, Plug&Play, Power Saving, Ideal for Smart TV, Online Gaming

The kit includes a Powerline Adapter, Powerline Extender and two white 6 ft. Ethernet cables. It works, but you have to set it up correctly. First, a little background.My home is 3280 sq. ft. I have 100 Mbps internet using a Nighthawk router on level 2 of my home NETGEAR Nighthawk X6 AC3200 Tri-Band WiFi Router, Gigabit Ethernet, Compatible with Amazon Echo/Alexa (R8000) and actually have 100 Mbps all over my house. I didn't buy this kit to increase my wireless signal. I bought this kit, plus TP-Link AV1000 1-Port Gigabit Powerline Adapter, Powerline speeds Up to 1000Mbps (TL-PA7010 KIT) because I have three Tivo Mini's that connect via Coax for a MOCA connection. I constantly have connection issues related to signal quality.First thing out of the box I plugged in the Adapter, connected the ethernet cable to my router and pressed the WPS button on my router and the Wifi button on the Adapter. Then I took the Extender, plugged it in not only in a different room, but in a different level of my house. I tried to pair the two and failed. Then I started reading all of the reviews of the product and frankly got more confused because some people said you have to plug the adapter and extender into outlets on the same circuit BREAKER and other people said they didn't have to have the same circuit breaker, but the same PHASE. I was ready to box up and return everything. The instructions say "the same circuit". It's unclear what they actually mean by that, but it wouldn't make any sense for the answer to be circuit breaker, so I decided to start over. I'll explain the steps I took to successfully connect.1. Plugged adapter into wall outlet, level 2 (you CANNOT plug these into a power strip or even a surge device that covers the face of the outlet).2. Used a pin in the RESET hole (because I had set it up already incorrectly).3. Plugged extender into a nearby wall outlet in the same room.4. Pressed the PAIR button on the adapter.5. Pressed the PAIR button on the extender. (Both will flash and then you'll see two solid lights - one for power, one for paired)6. Unplugged both units. I set the extender aside and plugged the adapter back into its permanent home near the router.7. Used an 8 ft. ethernet cable to connect the router's LAN port to the adapter.8. Used my cell phone to see if I could pick up a WIFI signal for the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies, which were there. (I didn't want to connect to these - I just wanted to see that there was a signal there)9. Pressed the WPS button on my router, followed by the WIFI button on the adapter. (The frequency lights will blink slow, then rapidly, then turn solid - my router's WPS button doesn't stay on long and while one of the frequencies was found quickly, the other took longer so I watched the WPS light on my router and as soon as it quit blinking, I quickly pressed it again so that both frequencies were found)10. Plugged the extender into an outlet in the same room to verify it was still paired - yep, two solid lights.11. Plugged the extender into an outlet in my office, level 1 - yep, two solid lights.12. Plugged one end of the provided ethernet cable into the extender and the other end into my iMac. Turned off Wifi on my iMac. Opened a web browser - yep, a page loaded. Performed an internet speed test. Tested >100 Mbps.13. Removed the extended from the outlet in my office and plugged it instead into an outlet in my bedroom (level1) near my Tivo mini - yep, two solid lights.14. Removed the coax cable from the mini and replaced it with the provided ethernet cable. Test - Able to watch live tv? Yes. Able to communicate with the Tivo Bolt on level 2? Yes. Able to connect to the Tivo service? Yes. Able to stream content? Yes.15. Took extender #2, plugged in outlet, level 2, same room as adapter.16. Pressed the PAIR button on the adapter.17. Pressed the PAIR button on the extender - yep, two solid lights.18. Repeated the process for extender #3, yep, two solid lights.19. Relocated the extenders near the mini's I needed to connect (one inside of a cabinet in my kitchen (level1) and the other in our home theatre (level 2). Both immediately showed the two solid lights.20. Connected them to the mini's using the provided ethernet cables and then tested the connections as I did before.All Tivo Mini's connected successfully and still getting >100 Mbps signal strength all over my house. So glad I bought these!

This was perfect for me. I had a flaky WiFi connection to my TV in the living room. My router is in the office, 20 feet but through 2 walls, and I was getting interference from neighbors' routers as well. The TP-Link Adapter did the trick, I'm now getting a rock-solid "wired" connection to the TV and as a bonus enhanced WiFi signal in the living room, all the way to the sundeck. Not bad at all for $70!Installation was very easy, in fact, a real snap for the Ethernet connection. For the WiFi setup, it's very simple too, but *read the instructions* they are good and will greatly eliminate head-scratching ;-)Note of caution: you will probably not get a full 1,000Mbps bandwidth, the signal degrades rapidly in AC wires, particularly if you have an older house with lengths of wiring and many breaker jumps. In my case, I get a steady 70Mbps at the TV with an estimated 75 ft A/C wire run. But 70Mbps would be enough to watch movies in 8K (if they existed), so it's more than sufficient with your 4K TV, even if you have a couple of phones and laptops running on the WiFi at the same time.Thank you TP-Link, after all these years, you still make great products at great prices.

The product seems to work. The instructions are awful. It looks like they ship the same instructions for similar products. For example, the instructions always say press and hold a button for one second. On my device that doesn't work. You just press and release the button with no pause. Installation went smoothly once I figured out this instruction error. Using the WPS button on my router made it easy to download my existing wireless SSID/Password settings to the new WIFI extender.One thing puzzles me... There are two parts to this kit: the small adapter, and the larger extender. The adapter connects to the router via ethernet and sends data through the powerlines. The larger extender sends/receives data from the powerline and also creates a WIFI network. The smaller adapter can also be used to create a remote ethernet connection. You can also connect multiple WIFI extenders, but I can't seem to find WIFI extenders for sale by themselves. That was sort of the whole point of using this device.

This is a difficult review to write. There have been problems but I have yet to isolate the cause. I bought this product because my powerline adaptors were not working consistently so I decided to replace them with this product. I chose this particular product line because I have had good luck in the past with a tp-link router. Ironically, when I plugged Powerline adapter into the wall socket while it was connected to the router. The tp-link router failed. After some debugging and support from tp-link technical support, I decided that the router needed to be replaced. I ended up buying exactly the same model tp-link router. It is now running apparently with no issues. It took me quite a while then to get the tp-link Powerline adapter and extender working properly. Unplugging the adapter into the wall outlet the light that indicates the strength of the power coming from the socket was red. Tp-link technical support told me that that meant that the power in the house was inadequate. I refused to accept that. I changed the wall outlet and the red light turns green. During the socket swap, I did notice that one of the wire was slightly less tight than the others. Whether or not that was a factor, I do not know. Now that I have all green lights on both the Powerline adapter and the extender, I do have Wi-Fi signals that are inconsistent in their strength. I measure their strength using a Wi-Fi analyzer on my smartphone. There are times when I can see the signal just completely drop off line. At this time, I do not know why that is happening. I'm giving this product three stars because I am still diagnosing the problems that I am having. Of all the possible causes, interference seems the most likely. But figuring out what that interference is, is the trick.
