Using advanced Home Plug AV technology, TL-PA4010 KIT provides users with AV600 powerline speeds on a line length of up to 750 ft. The dimensions for this product are 2 x 1.1 x 2.6 inches. The terms “AV600” and “600Mbps” are derived from applicable specifications and refer to the theoretical maximum physical-layer data transfer rate. Those terms are used on this product solely to indicate its compatibility with other “AV600” or “600Mbps” powerline devices. Actual data speeds vary and may be limited by the product’s Ethernet port and other network conditions such as data traffic, electrical noise, and wiring issues. For better performance, powerline devices should be deployed on the same electrical circuit and rated for the same HomePlug standard. A minimum of two powerline devices are required to establish a powerline connection. If you are uncertain about your network conditions, you should consult an IT professional to assist in selecting a networking product. About power saving, actual power saved varies based on network conditions and environmental factors.

Review: Just As Good As The More Expensive Brands With Intercompatibility!! - I've been a Network Engineer for over 10 years and ever since I've dealt with computers, cabling is one of the worst aspects of the job. I can't tell you how many times I've run/extended CAT3/CAT5/CAT5e/CAT6 cabling and ended up terminating both ends and testing them. Some situations are easier than others when you're allowed to run a cable across the floor or above ceiling tile... but in other situations like getting networking in a certain room in your house can be a total pain in the butt. For the average home user, the only way to get networking from point A to your house to point B is either wired with cabling or use WiFi & bridging if the WiFi didn't extend far enough. When Powerline technology came out it added convenience of using existing power cabling but still was a little flaky and troublesome. But since then, Powerline has jumped leaps and bounds since and is much more reliable & faster. When it came time to buy originally back in July 2012, I put a lot of research into looking into the latest powerline solution for my home. I wanted something with high performance and the current version of "high performance Powerline devices" allows 500Mbps transfer rate. Even still, I was having trouble selecting which manufacturer to go with (Belkin, Cisco, Netgear, etc). After my homework (and despite Netgear's horrible sales support), I ended up with the NETGEAR Powerline 500Mbps Nano Adapter - Starter Kit (XAVB5101) . Despite the insane price point (currently $87.99 on desertcart - 12/13/2013; I bought these for $108 back in July 2012), the Netgear adapters worked wonderfully in my home. I was able to maintain faster throughput from device to device while on wired Ethernet while not saturating my WiFi network. However, over the course of a year and a half, the number of devices I had in my house grew considerably (especially over WiFi). In the past year, I added a few cell phones, a laptop, a tablet, a Roku 3, a Western Digital TV Live, 2 Chromecasts, and a new Smart TV. Because of that, my WiFi started to become degraded because every single one of those new devices was connecting to my network over WiFi. When multiple devices would start streaming things like Netflix and I was doing transfers from my media server to a PC, Netflix would stutter and my WiFi throughput would literally crawl slower than a snail on a salt bed. That's when I realized I needed to invest in more Powerline Adapters for certain rooms to speed up transfers as well as help reduce the load of my WiFi network. But you see, despite being pleased with my Netgear adapters, I didn't want to spend another $100. A friend of mine (who I told the Netgear adapters about) bought another brand of Powerline AV 500Mbit adapters from a company called TP-Link to save money. He said they worked pretty good. After finding out that they were $35 on desertcart, I immediately pulled the trigger. I mean after all, I had a word of mouth approval from a friend and you can't argue saving over $50 vs another set of my Netgear adapters... the result? Absolutely no difference in speeds. Just like the Netgear adapters, these are essentially Plug & Play. There were literally no problems connecting these in my house. I went to the living room where I needed wired connectivity and plugged these up to the wall. The TP-Link adapter immediately recognized my existing Netgear Powerline adapters and the 2nd LED (Powerline LED indicator) immediately lit up. I plugged in my small 10/100 switch to it and then my Roku & TV up to it and the 3rd LED (Ethernet indicator) lit up and the devices could not only talk to other devices on my LAN, but they had Internet access as well. I personally noticed NO DIFFERENCE in throughput speeds both within the LAN and the Internet. The *ONLY* difference between the TP-Link set and the Netgear is the that the TP-Link doesn't tell you the "current speed" of that adapter's Powerline network. The Netgear has multicolored LEDs that indicate the speed of your Powerline network. While this normally won't matter to a lot of people, it will tell you whether you are having degraded performance within your home's electrical wiring. It also aids in troubleshooting as well. But it's not a show stopper... Personally, I would recommend this product over the Netgear adapters I have. 1. The price is a LOT cheaper. 2. TP-Link has a TWO YEAR WARRANTY vs the Netgear's ONE YEAR WARRANTY. If you're really concerned on whether you're buying "a crap product", rest assured that this works just as good as the bigger name brands and you have an extra year of product care! Highly recommended.
Review: A Very Good Explanation of What This Is - This won't be too much of a technical review. I live in a 3-story apartment with 5 guys. The router is dual N band (linksys) 2.4Ghz/5.0Ghz. Most of our devices run on the traditional 2.4Ghz band. Unfortunately the router is by the TV, microwave and other electrical appliances. Did I mention we live in a 3-story apartment? Well, I was looking at wireless repeaters for a long long time and was getting dizzy by the number of reviews that contradicted themselves. I decided to stay away from it altogether. But then these products came up and utilized something that's been around for a long time. Powerline technology. I admit, the process still eludes me, but if data can be transferred via our old school copper telephone cables, why couldn't it be transferred via the power lines that ran throughout the house? I was very skeptical but took the plunge. I went with the TL-PA4010KIT AV500 (up to 500Mbps). I have a macbook with windows installed on it (via bootcamp). On the mac side (Mavericks), just plug ethernet cable into laptop and turn wifi off and works like a charm. With windows (Win 7) it was not working at first. I had to disable my wifi entirely before it could receive data from the ethernet cable. But just for good measure I installed the Drivers from the website and downloaded the firmware update as well. Though I don't have to disable wifi anymore, the laptop will always prefer wifi for some reason. So I just turn wifi off when plugged in with a cable and I get connection. And boy that connection! Once you install the utility driver off their website you can view the speed of the connection via cable to adapter. On wifi, I was getting 26Mbps (3.17MB/s). Once I connected the ethernet cable and shut off my wifi I opened up the utility and saw my connection speed a whopping 320Mbps (39MB/s). *on the central coast of California, we have Charter internet so its very very fast and not throttled. Watching Netflix, downloading files, everything....was much faster. When I say much faster, I don't mean it will speed up your internet. That is dependent on your internet plan with an ISP, the modem/router you use (update, update, update [firmware]), and any interference of devices near your router if going wireless. If not wireless, then the cable. Are you using cat5/cat5e cables? If you are paying for 25Mbps internet connection you will most likely be consistently getting 15Mbps (I also live in La and can attest to this). This device is rated for 500Mbps. Not even our internet plan with charter reaches that speed yet. Our router can't even push those speeds. So I went for over kill, yes. But when we updrade our speeds in the near future, we will be future proof. Besides, the build quality on these looked superior to the level below it (300Mbps?). ****How These Work You plug each of these into an electrical outlet (not surge protector); you need a constant volt of energy being supplied. You plug in one near your router. You plug in the other near the area you'd like to have internet connection (room, office, patio, etc.). Next (you will need cat5/cat5e ethernet cables) you take one ethernet cable and connect it from the router to the adapter in the outlet. You connect the second ethernet cable from the second outlet into your laptop/pc. You press the square button on the bottom right side (below the blinking lights) of BOTH adapters. This will tell them to look for each other and automatically connect (aka "pairing"). If you are on a mac, installation of drivers is not neccessary. Though many Windows users have successfully just "plugged and go," it wouldn't hurt to install the driver software of your product BEFORE you plug anything in! *Sometimes I will not get internet connection. Our router is getting old and finicky. It will not send data to the adapter and the adapter may disconnect. All you have to do is "pair them" again. Just press the square on both (or if you bought more than 2 adapters) and wait for them to find each other again. Has happened only twice over 3 months? ****What these DON'T do These are not the same as wireless repeaters. They do not connect to the wall outlet and magically transmit data wirelessly to every room in your home. These need to be physically connected to a source and a destination. There is a model on here that uses Powerline technology AND acts as a wireless repeater, but it is more expensive and the wireless speed is not as fast as the cable speed you will get from the adapter. They do not speed up your internet. If you are in big metropolitan areas you will most likely be throttled. Certain ISP throttle (artificially slow down) your speed no matter what your geographic location! And some throttle during peak hours (the equivalent of rush hour traffic). Use ookla speed test to determine what your speeds are and at different times of the day. If unsatisfied you can change ISPs, pay more $ for higher speed, or perhaps its the router they supplied you with and you should ask them to replace it if they value your patronage (routers get outdated very fast). ****Final Words If you have multiple computers upstairs you can run the ethernet cable from the 2nd adapter straight to an ethernet port/switch (looks just like a usb hub except for ethernet ports) and plug multiple computers into that little hub- though you will now be splitting the incoming speed between multiple devices and it won't be as fast. I have read many reviews between these and wireless repeaters. Wireless repeaters sound nice in theory but there are too inconsistent. They are still affected by stairs, concrete, walls, devices, microwaves, etc. If you want something that has consistency, been used for a long time, and has a solid track record, try this option out. ***UPDATE*** 6/21/2015 Still working like a charm. A month after my review, the unit was a little buggy and kept disconnecting randomly. I was patient with it and just unplugged the units and plugged both back in. Ever since then I've had 0 issues with them for 5+ months now and amazing, uninhibited speed.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you add additional powerline devices to network?**
A: Of course you can but remember the speed its divided in the number of devices conected. your maximin badwith will allways be 500 mbps in the powerline network

**Q: How secure this is? I assume it is not just limited to your house's internal circuit. Could it be accessed from outside the internal house circuit?**
A: These systems are hackable, but it takes a lot of work by a good hacker. Here's an excellent treatise on this subject: bentasker dot co dot uk/documentation/security/282-infiltrating-a-network-via-powerline-homeplugav-adapters

As this treatise says at the end, TP-Link has released a firmware update to fix this issue, and that new items leaving the factory would not be affected. Users with affected devices can download the firmware update from tp-link dot com/en/.

**Q: Has anyone tried this setup with an extra wireless router at the end?**
A: Yes.  I have a Linsys N on mine. You have to disable the DHCP on the slave router. Also you need to assign a static IP on the router. Use something like 192.168.1.250. Then only plug into the ports with the line from the wall unit and not into the internet/supply port.  If you have a 4 port router with 1 internet port, you have to use one of the ports for the service so you can hook up 3 other direct connects. You then have to rename the wireless on the "slave" router to exactly match any other wireless providing service same with password. You need to make it a duplicate router. Good luck

**Q: whats better 10/100/1000 m port or 10/100 m port**
A: 10/100/1000 is better, but only really needed for HD streaming on multi devices or gaming. Though the ports split the speed 1000mbs, 2 ports, probably only get 500mbs on each and depending on how many devices. Then the wiring in your house matters. I top at 50mbs per a device. with only one device connected, so getting the 2 port is worthless and getting a 1000 is overated

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Try different outlets
*by W***Y on May 14, 2014*

EDIT: 6-1-2014 TP-Link TL-PA4010KIT AV500 is the product this review is for. Its been brought to my attention that the ethernet cables that come with these are only Cat5 not Cat5e. Also, the gauge is too thin. Replace them as soon as you can. I did and am now having better results. I hope this helps. ORIGINAL POST: We had the option to add network cabling when our house was built, but we did not. We did not know someday everything would be connected to the Internet. I want ethernet cables for my wired devices and wifi for my wireless devices in order to get better internet signal all around. I saw Powerline Adapters on Amazon and ordered them on a whim. Normally I don't do something like that but I figured for $40, what the hell. My hopes aren't too high but I'm hoping these gadgets work pretty well. It took a week for them to arrive, and in the meantime I was so excited I kept reading reviews on Amazon just to get some ideas on installing them. I usually get little bits of information here and there from reading Amazon reviews, so thanks fellow reviewers for all of your tips and tricks. I also consolidated some outlets in areas I knew I wanted to test them. They arrived on a Thursday. I planned on installing them on Friday after work, but was so excited to test their performance, I ended up installing them at like 2am. They are very small and un-intrusive looking. They synced up and connected super quick and easy. I didn't even push the sync button, just plugged them in. I did a speed check on my connection speed and was getting the same as a full wired connection. Awesome! But about 20 minutes in, my computer lost connection to the Internet. I was still connected to my network, just not the Internet. I fiddled with some connection settings on my router to ensure that it was a wired connection and not a wireless one. Power cycled everything back on, & I was back on the Internet.... For about 20 more minutes, then it disconnected again. It connected up by itself a few seconds later. Neither of them are plugged into surge protectors, they are plugged directly into the wall. They keep losing connection, it's worse than wifi. I think it could be some sort of power spike in the electrical lines. I don't know. I'm not sure if a different outlet would do any better in my house or if something is inherently wrong with my home's electrical wiring. I've also read that noise from other electrical appliances could cause interference. This is connected to my desktop PC in the kitchen obviously with a lot of other appliances. I do not want to update the firmware or try to re-pair these I might just put them in the box and send them back to Amazon. Most reviews would have you believe that this is more stable than wifi, it is not. It's about as reliable as wifi, maybe less. For $40 it was a worthy experiment. Who knows, it might work in a different application such as a Blu ray player without wifi, I will have to test that. I was hoping this would give me the same performance as a wired ethernet connection. Installation is definitely fast and easy, the connection is just not reliable. I just wanted to try a pair before I bought a bunch of them. Kinda disappointed, not surprised, but disappointed. Update: I really wanted these to work. I installed one in the master bedroom instead of the kitchen, where I have a non- wifi Smart TV as well as a Blu-ray player. I set up an old router as an access point and connected it to the adapter. Now the TV & Blu-ray player have internet. I've streamed some movies (in HD, of course) while running the vacuum on the same circuit, no problem. Being on the kitchen circuit must have been the problem in my first installation. Or maybe my ISP was doing maintenance on the system. It was 2 a.m. after all. A week later, I have not had a single disconnect. Plus, the second router is boosting the wifi signal all over the house and to the backyard. I must concede that powerline adapters are very reliable and dependant on the electrical lines to which they're connected. Like a lot of networking devices, environment, equipment and settings play a big part in success. Update 2: Just for fun, I took the adapter back out to the kitchen and reconnected it to my desktop PC. It had some connection issues on the first day, but only to the internet and not to my home network. After a week, that's been the only one. I have no idea why they only have the connection issues at first. Now, I'm considering getting another pair of these. They seem to be working out very well. I will update further if I have any more issues. I'm changing my rating to 4 stars for ease of installation and convenient network configuration. It is plug and play, but it took some fiddling to get it to work right. Update 3: I've had it in the kitchen for over a month now and only get a few disconnects. Sometimes where a web page won't load, but it usually connects right back up when I retry. I added a six plug outlet adapter to this outlet just to see how it would work, and it is no problem. I also used this computer to serve some video files to the ps3, wirelessly and that worked well too. I am going to get another pair of these and put them in my entertainment areas.
