Hell ya thank you now I run 500/500 on my ps4 instead of 60/60 with WiFi

[@deadlinerhorus]

you could technically not reach beyond 100MBit/s, because its RJ45 Ports are Fast Ethernet limited, so it does not matter what the cable in between both adapters reaches, because it will always be cut down at every Port to 12 MByte/s (100MBit)!

[@spud299]

PLEASE HELP! I purchased a Philips hue light bulb kit that comes with 4 bulbs a a bridge and I’m having a lot of trouble with controlling them from my phone. Each bulb comes up “unavailable” on my phone even though I’ve reset them and manually connected each bulb to the bridge with the help of Philips hue tech support. I’m assuming my problem is because of how far away they are from the hue bridge. So I was looking at options of running an Ethernet cable from my router downstairs to my room on the second floor and the other side of my house. Do you think a TP-Link Powerline Adapter would work if I plugged my hue bridge Ethernet line into that so I could have it in the same room as my bulbs. I really don’t have much experience with things like this please help. Thanks

[@filipcho_e_cracknat6110]

Does this powerline cable works on every tp link router,because i am not sure

[@MisterUrbanWorld]

I cannot get mines to connect. How do you know which socket is on the same circuit?

[@JPTech933]

Great video but it did not work for my customer, I had him buy a TP link two unit model such as the one in this video.. after more than an hour trying to set-up at a distance with him on the phone I gave-up, it seem that power line models work on the same electrical circuit, but when on a different circuit it may not function, so it got returned to Amazon. I told my customer to go and buy the Netgear wall plug wifi mesh single extender that was in-stock at his local Staples store. It has worked perfectly, my customer has an IP phone that is far from the router and requires a wired connection. With the WPS setup I was able to guide him over the phone. Really great during Covid as he is 79.

[@RedskullPro]

They only work on the same electrical circuit. He could have tried a different power outlet in the same room.. depends on the house I guess

[@youngdaggerdick-00]

If i get it and plug it in to the second floor of a house and then plug the other one in the 1st floor in my house , will i be able to connect it to my pc and play games better? Remind you it's not the same house they are two different houses. Please answer to me

[@firesdumb]

do you actually have to connect both of them (the first to the router and the second to the device) or yoo have to plug in just the first into the router and second is wireless?

[@brendaemiliamedinacruz5862]

So this is for the people that dont want an Ethernet cable going though the house and instead you just do this and you have wired connection to the ps4 for example?

Will this work with multiple adapters? For example, connecting 1 adapter to router, and 3 adapter to my 3 devices in the same house.

[@RedskullPro]

as long as they are on the same power circuit

[@deadlinerhorus]

it is a socalled "Star Topology" in network, so every device could connect to a center like a router or switch! One Device is the entry point of LAN-cable wiring, the second Pair is the Outward-Point facing the wiring to the router or switch!

well it will make your console a bit faster for internet usage, but it may slow down the speed on your network since your console will get more bandwith

And also, if I get this, will I get a good connection when my siblings are also using the wifi?

+Olav Øverland yeah, they will work, you may have to pair them but it's quite simple. It depends how your house is set-up... I have a room that doesn't seem to be on the same circuit with the power outlet by the router where the first one is connected.

[@oNorw]

so if its on diffrent power circut i can still pair them? thanks

[@RedskullPro]

if it's a different power circuit you won't be able to pair them, only if they are on the same one. Most smaller houses should have only one thruout the house. It depends how big the house is

The thing doesn’t work in all homes (especially newer homes) my powerline icon would never stay green and I got the same speed

[@RedskullPro]

it has to be on the same circuit (new & bigger houses have more than one circuit)

Like the others have said, in USA you have 2 phases that come into your home. If the 2 outlets are not on the same phase it won’t work. Try some other outlets nearby as that worked for me.

+Redskull thank you,I've got TL-PA2010KIT, at day its fine, but in the evening, its just 3-4Mb/s since my ISP speed is 20Mb. I wonder if it is due to my old AV200 TL-PA2010 brand or electrical noise. I still feel quite skeptical about powerlime adapter capability.

the max transfer rate can be achieved is over a local network. Depending on what device your are using you could have even higher speeds than that, but it will be limited to 500

no, sadly it is no Gigabit Ethernet Port on those devices. Every adapter is limited to Fast Ethernet (100MBit/s)
