TP-Link TL-PA7017KIT 1-Port Gigabit Powerline Starter Kit, Powerline Network Adapters Data Transfer Speed up to 1000 Mbps, Ideal for HD/3D/4K Video Streaming & Online Gaming, No Configuration Required

Major house renovations (lots of steel joists) mean Wi-Fi isn't great at home, so I stream all my TV over wired ethernet, but my router is in one room and the TV, Firestick, Sky Puck, etc are all in the next room. I solved this problem originally using an old WD Powerline set-up I had, which had a capacity of 200-300 MB/Sec. I've just replaced that with this TP-Link Gigabit kit. The TP-Link system was very quick and easy to install and set-up (took about 3 minutes), and while there is no change in picture or audio quality, streamed content loads more quickly (pretty much instantly now) and fast-forwarding or rewinding is smoother and quicker. Not life-changing, but a useful improvement in functionality. It's only been a couple of weeks, but so far the signal has been rock-solid, with no drop-outs or other issues, but then the old WD system had no issues in nearly ten years. Overall, very happy with this upgrade.

Nice and compact little units. I replaced my 500Mbps TP Link units with these twice as fast Gigabit ones and I no longer have problems when watching iPlayer or any other Internet based programs on my TV. I have one adapter upstairs next to our WiFi router and the next one next to our TV downstairs in the lounge. Uses the house wiring perfectly. Took less than 2minutes to set it up. Brilliant and I do recommend these. The 500Mbps adapters were pretty much ok for most Internet based programs, but on occasion, the data rate was not quite good enough and we had quite a bit of buffering going on.

Easy to install and solved my major WiFi issues of living in an old big house with tall ceilings where getting large cables was not a friendly option. I tried to switch them off when I no longer needed them just to avoid overheating, just in case - but never had any problem after long hours of use. Not sure however if would be compatible with newer Ethernet cables, might be worth to check that first. Also Be advised the performance of the device will depend on the quality of your electrical signal. Sometimes old electrical installations are not necessarily a problem and new ones could be! Do not fall into fake myths - there are many other environmental factors involved. So you might want to check that with a measurer or a technician first.

I read hundreds so many reviews here with many stating that this kit was just a waste of time. But then I thought, hiw could this have 4 and a half stars with nearly 8k reviews, something must be good about. I really needed a wired output behind my TV to provide a fast and consistent wired internet to my many devices. I firstly sought confirmation as to whether a powerline adapter could be connected to a switch thereby providing extra ports to serve each device. Thus was duly confirmed so half way there. The next and most important question was whether these would provide the same speed as I was paying for which is 100mb from Virgin Media. From the many reviews I have read here it appeared that I was only going to get about a third of the speed which I would expect from a direct connection to my router. There were however a few reviews which stated that they have achieved excellent speeds with this TP-link poweline adapters. I took a gamble the current price of £29.99 thinking to myself that if they are worthless I’ll just return them, what could I possibly lose and I wouldn’t know unless I tried them out myself. Well what can I say about these beauties. They are so small and beautifully designed so that was a great start. Two 5e cat cables included in the box. Even better. Now for testing these. Plugged one behind my tv and the other two rooms away in my study where I have my router and connected this to one of the spare router ports. Pressed on the pair button and then walked to to my lounge and pressed on the the pair button of the second adapter. Bingo both paired up within a minute. This was really easy. Now to check the speed and find out if these really are the bees knees. Hooked up my laptop and did a speed test. Oh boy only 37mb per second download speed and the usual 9mb upload speed. Well that was disappointing. Ready to return them as they were no way near my download speed I get when hooked up directly to my router. Oh wait I thought to my self, I did read somewhere that if you connect to an extention lead then you will not get the best speed and the adapters should be plugged in directly to a wall socket. My router is connected to an extension lead and the adapter I plugged in was sitting right next to it on the same extension cord. I unplugged it, hooked the adapter to a longer cat5e cable and plugged it to a wall socket. Let’s check the speed again I thought. Did the speed test and WOW full 105mb download speed and 20 up. What can I say about these adapters they are absolutely brilliant. People say you get what you pay for, but I feel I literally paid peanuts for this excellent pair of powerline adapters. Who needs to get their homes hard wired with internet cables when these will do the same job using you wall AC cables to run internet through them. Genuine!

Truly plug and play. Got an old place where the router is about as far away from the sky TV puck as you could get. WiFi mesh system wasn't reliable enough and kept dropping out causing annoying breaks in sound and freezing visuals. Plugged this in (it comes with 2 ethernet cables about 1m long each) and bingo, a reliable signal Goes from about 800mbs at the router to about 60mbps at the TV, which is way fast enough.

Strongly recommend these. Really easy to install. I was previously using a WiFi extender (on a Virgin 3.0 hub) and getting speeds around 12.5 - 13.5 Mbps. Plugged in one of these and got 75.5Mbps. If you already have a TP powerline network with the older TP link adapter, they are backwards compatible and work in seconds. The only thing to bear in mind is that they only work plugged direct into a wall socket. Not if you are using an extension cable with multiple sockets.
