TP-Link Wireless Powerline Setup Tutorial Video

[@NothingToSeeHere1312]

so it will flash when its pairing and then you know its paired because it will flash....... right thats super easy to differentiate

[@bartinl]

yep completely confused - what regular means - I have had these things

[@imnottellingyoumyname3050]

Couldn't believe it when I heard that. "You'll know your adapter is paired because it will keep doing what it's been doing for the past 2 minutes". Nice one

[@javierlandry7246]

Yes. But there are 2 seconds when it doesn't flash repeatedly and stands still for 1 sec. before flashing as it used to.

[@itchyboy6199]

Damn you can tell the adaptor is doing something different to what it was doing when it was flashing because nothing has changed and it’s still flashing and there is no noticeable difference in behaviour from the adaptor

[@JohnDoe-hv4ln]

guys if you have a problem, make sure that it is not plugged into a surge protector or extension cord or anything that plugs into the wall in front of it. This has to be plugged DIRECTLY into the outlet.

[@mclark1515]

People saying the clone button doesn't work, it does. Best way to do it is pair and clone it all in the same room. Plug the adaptor into the wall and ethernet cable into the modem, then plug the reciever into a plug close to it, pair as stated in the video, wait till that is done then clone by pressing the wps button on your router followed by the clone button on the reciever. Worked for me straight away after trying to do it unsuccessfully in a different room. Once all connected then move the reciever to the desired room.

[@mclark1515]

Alvin Gil if it is successful and cloned then you need to put in the original password as if your connecting to your router, hope this helps.

[@jogonyachickennugget4911]

Mike Clark hi mate. I've got mine setup and I see the tp link as a separate thing is this correct? and if so does it have a separate password because I have a little card which has the tp links password. any help would be great thnx

[@mclark1515]

Jogonyachickennugget If you haven't cloned it then it will be separate and you have to use the password on the card. If you follow the cloning procedure then it mimics your own wifi and you don't have to use a separate password at all. Like I said to clone it, follow the instructions on the video but do it in the same room as your router. Hope it works!

[@brianj05]

Mike Clark I bought one of these and set it up, cloned it and plugged it in via ethernet into my computer. My other devices then got slow Internet speeds, but when i unplug the extender my other devices' speeds increase. Help?

[@localtrust]

this is not nearly as straight forward as the directions or this video make it seem

[@TheMartinac]

I bought TP-LINK TL-WPA4220KIT recently and it works flawlessly so far. I have plugged it "upside down" in power socket so as not to block the lower socket. Also, the two devices are not in the same power circuit, but still work okay. The speed varies but is fairly high (around 270 Mbps) - you can check it in the TP PLC utility that contains the network topography with settings and parameters. Perhaps the device has changed hardware/firmware-wise within the 5 years since this video was published.

[@pleaseholdinc]

I've had this product for 8 years now and it works great!

[@TPLINKTECH]

8 years strong?! That is awesome.

[@meneerdoeterniettoe2514]

Bought this yesterday, will return it today. In a small appartment (55m2) it does not provide a signal with a normal range. The signal is 50% lower within 7 meters in a straight line, in the next room (single stone wall, door open) the signal is a even 25% (that's 4 meters from the extender)

[@-YELDAH]

aight found this in the loft, turns out it's still perfectly useable, i can't speak for potentially excessive power usage from old protocols or whatever but if you're not too worried about that then this works fine, just do as the comments mention, no extension leads, same power network, if you're worried about power network jsut try it and do speed tests before and after connection, you'll know pretty easily. also worth mentioning i didn't find it to make much of a difference with 5GBPS, but if you're having connection issues in the first place you'd be on 2.4

[@wthattny]

The clone function worked exactly once on my wireless adapters. When I changed my router from an open network to a secure network, the clone buttons didn't work anymore.

[@2126beatz]

Awesome product. I set mine up in my garden office which is around 20 meters away from the main router in the lounge in my house. I tried and tested many ways to set up this device, It works best when you plug the small tp link adapter in a mains wall outlet. I plugged the bigger device (wi fi booster) into an extension power strip in my office. It worked but I had much reduced speed, I then switched it over to a wall mains outlet and I was getting almost maximum speeds. I have sky fibre broadband with a maximum speed of 39mb. I was averaging speeds of 29 to 33mb on the speed test website and that was using WiFi on my macbook pro. When I switched over to an ethernet cable I was getting 34mb to 35mb. A good tip is, don't plug any of the tp link devices into a surge protector strip as it hinders its performance.

[@TPLINKTECH]

If you are pairing through the pair button that is correct. You have to hit pair on one unit (existing or not) then hit pair on the 2nd unit that is being added. The two devices will then complete the handshake and pair, if they are connected to breakers in the same panel.

[@natet53]

I just bought the Av500, and it works great. Easy to step-up and use. My wifi signal was giving me 8-14 MB. Now, with the powerline, I'm getting ~50 MB, and no lag when playing games ~23 ping. However, the adapter on the outlet does get pretty warm.. is this normal? Will it overheat?

[@natet53]

Yeah, I founded out if I unplug the Ethernet cable from my computer, the adapter goes into sleep mode. However... I just leave the other adapter that is connected to the modem always on..

[@natet53]

If its in sleep mode, the adapter is very cool. However, if its left on like the one that is connected to the modem, it is consistency warm to the touch. However, no real hurt to performance, yet.

[@natet53]

Wireless speed was 8-12MPS. Cable speed ~50MPS. No drops in signals since I bought this. I can stream videos in 4K with no buffering, and games plays with no lag. ~20 ping for online multiplayer.

[@BrazilNDM]

Does it work less well if you dont have a WPS button? I only paired it (first step). We keep having trouble with it, where the signal goes out or things happen such as connecting but 'without' internet.

[@natet53]

I think its better to opt for one with WPS (Wifi Protected setup). This way your internet is secured. Less noise and distortions with using this type of device.

[@Spekplant]

Very sensitive to various appliances connected to the home. You get a lot of connection drops. Great idea but not good enough for serious business applications. Should keep the kids happy

[@AngelaHenderson]

Some things worth noting about this device, before you tear your hair out: GFI affects it, as does polarity (in English, whether you have it plugged in upside down or not). If your wiring is noisy that will also be a problem. Also, everywhere you plan to use the powerline adapter is supposed be in the same power circuit...which kind of eliminated the whole point for me. I tested this in two different houses...one a total fail, and the other only worked intermittently. I'm noticing this gets rave reviews from everybody in England. I'm wondering if there's something about British wiring that makes this work better.

[@lukeaspinall977]

Angela Henderson im british and it works perfect for me i wanted to have wired internet without a 2nd router so i just got this for £30 and get avg 15 ping when gaming

[@batpig8715]

In california and I got my friend to get this brand, not the same model, and they are getting speeds of 45 or more. Could be your wiring. I get 10 out of mine. My fastest speed is 12 in my area.

[@mrtwinky2007]

You are right about what you mentioned can effect the device, and yes there might be something about British wiring that makes this more reliable in the UK, British electrical standards are very high compared to other parts of the world like the US, electrobooms video of his trip to the UK is funny and explains the UK standards.

[@trew1061]

[@bradjones5132]

These instructions are not how I done mine and it works perfectly. *Here's how I done mine (for anyone still struggling):* 1 - Plug BOTH adaptors into the same socket if possible. Otherwise, use an extension cable and plug them on the same strip. 2 - Plug the ethernet cable into the smaller box (not the extender) and turn on the extension cable with the two adaptors. 3 - Wait until the light with the wifi/wave icon turns green. At this point, the little house icon light should be off as they are not yet paired. 4 - Press the pair button on the adaptor with the ethernet cable plugged in from your router. This should now make the power light flash. 5 - Now press the pair button on the extender, which should also make the power light flash. 6 - After the initial flashing from both adaptors, the power lights should stop flashing and go solid green. *You should also now see the home icon light too.* Now you can unplug everything from the extension cable (including the router if you done so) and put the extender anywhere in the house. Some may argue and say you have to be on the same circuit, but I have tried placing it all over and had not problem.

[@TPLINKTECH]

yes but the issue comes down to putting a lower adapter in your network lowers the overall AV speed rate to that adapter. For instance your WPA7510 is AV1000 if you put a WPA4220 into your network the rates drop to AV600.

No. Think of Powerline as a way to extend the distance of your router's Ethernet ports. Instead of having to run tons of cable you connect one unit to your router and another one to a device somewhere else in the house. As long as the two outlets the adapters are connected to are on the same electrical circuit they will transmit the signal through the home's power wires.

[@TPLINKTECH]

No its not likely. There are a lot of factors that go into the internet speeds that are seen on wireless clients. The AP, which a wireless powerline adapter can be described as is just one part of that. Other factors include the environment, the distance from the AP, barriers like walls and even people, and the capabilities of the wireless device's network adapter.. You then have to look at the link rate. This is the rate the client is connected to the AP, and how fast it communicates over the internal network. Internet speeds are typically 50-80% of this link rate. Though with Wifi 7 clients, higher internet speeds wirelessly are more likely.

I can get one of my 2 extenders to pair with the adapter but cannot, however often I try; establish data transfer, ( i.e. the LED remains solid on powerline). The instructions in the box for this product don't stipulate pairing first then cloning as in this video, very frustrating for someone, like me, who needs to be molly coddled with step by step instructions!

[@ChevroletastragtcOPC]

+MissMochynbach yes instructions are rubbish on the manual, i just got my fingers crossed for this video to work. Thanks god i understand english. I' ve been two hours and counting trying to install it, hope it works

[@Angelica4h]

Do u just plug the tp link in then into the console for wired internet?

[@TPLINKTECH]

One adapter would be connected to your router and then the other would be plugged in near your client device and connected to it. The two adapters come pre-paired in the box so it should be just this simple.

[@Angelica4h]

Yes PLC adapters should not be connected to strips or surge protectors.

[@obi-wankenobi2421]

I know, I actually fixed it yesterday, one of them were connected to the same power strip my computer was connected to so when I turned my computer they turned off too, the nearest wall outlet is far though so I can’t use Ethernet, they work really well though

[@darrenmckeown990]

I am wanting to connect my house WiFi to my summerhouse. The power to my summerhouse runs from my house power supply, through a fuse box in my garage then into a second fuse box in my summer house, will this device work for me?

[@TPLINKTECH]

No powerline adapters do not work across panels.

[@darrenmckeown990]

TP-Link when you say panels do you mean the fuse boxes? Do you have any recommendations for other TP-Link items which might work for me?

[@TPLINKTECH]

@@darrenmckeown990 Yeah we refer to them as panels and sub-panels. Mesh would be the only real viable option.

[@DJChipsandGarlic]

how do you pair a third? same way? adding a third wifi clone one at a different point in the house

[@Ameerkat]

Same way, but only press the pair button on one of the other devices u already have

[@yask8230]

Would this work if my modem is downstairs by the telephone and other socket is in the loft?

[@TPLINKTECH]

as long as the two outlets are on circuits with in the same panel yes they should. Typically PLC is used for extending to a client and router but since they are simple passthrough devices, connecting one to a modem and the other to the Router's WAN port would work.

I plugged the adapter and the extender to a power strip. The 3 leds that the adapter has turned on and on the extender the POWER LED and the POWERLINE LED turned on, but not the WiFi LED. I tried to pair them and it didn't work. What do I do?

[@crydowc]

It's written in the guide that the powerline LED only turns on after pairing the devices. But once I connect the extender to the power strip it automatically turns on, but not the Wi-Fi one

[@TPLINKTECH]

@@crydowc If the homelink light is on the devices are paired. The Kits do come pre-paired right out of the box. Wireless is or should be setup via default settings which are printed on the label or a card that comes with the kit. If that is not there or you have setup concerns we recommend contacting support.

[@viviwelkin]

just wondering how to wifi clone work for "apple airport extreme" because we dont have WPS button

[@Stadno]

Maybe your router has a "Pair" button instead. The Pair button is a combined button for DECT handsets and WPS. Hold it down for 5 seconds the light on the button will flash white and it will start the pairing for both WPS and DECT it will stop as soon as either pairing is successful.

[@prod.MRBLOXY]

should i use a powerline or a usb for wifi? i have a desktop pc btw

[@TPLINKTECH]

Depends on your needs. USB is only a network card, Powerline is an AP

[@gripps2211]

[@socialmarketinguru]

If you want to have a faster internet/transmission rate between the adapters, you need to pair your adapter with your modem via WPS button, in order to clone the WiFi name + the password. It works 10x faster since I have done that.

[@bazzlejet77]

Hello mate, struggling to make the plug pair using the WPS button (router flashes, nothing happens on the plug) but I was wondering if doing this improves the speed of the WiFi and the wired connection or just the WiFi, hope that makes sense.

Anything that can connect to a router's ethernet ports can also be connected to those of a powerline adapter.

[@oscararru8777]

Does the seemless wireless connection have better connection or is it the same?

[@TPLINKTECH]

Seamless wireless just indicates that your device will more smoothly transition from the AP to the router or vice versa. It does not really effect performance.

[@CodeineRadick]

the small adapter has no power for me no matter where i plug it in. Straight out of the box and its already broken. Garbage.

[@tskjoedt]

Took me some hours to realize that the seamless WiFi light is also a button. Had been pressing the only 'visible' button (the pairing button) not understanding why me no get no seamless...

[@TPLINKTECH]

So you know the WiFi on Powerline is not seamless. While the SSID can be cloned its more akin to how Range Extenders with the same SSID operate. Its the same but still a separate AP. Mesh is really the only true seamless WiFi.

[@batmamerc]
