Review on Enhance Your WiFi Range with TP-Link TL-WPA4220KIT 300Mbps AV500 Powerline WiFi Extender Start Kit by Stanislaw Biedka ᠌

In short: everything is great. I am satisfied with the device, I recommend it. A little background: for family reasons, a friend had to move his home workplace from the room to the balcony, and there the home Internet is available only via Wi Fi, but here's the problem: the Internet speed via Wi Fi dropped to 4/4 Mbps, since there are two load-bearing walls to the router and about 20 networks are visible in the 2.4GHz range. There was an attempt to use a repeater from Tp-link, it did not help. After studying the Internet, we decided to try the Internet through the 220 network, that is, PowerLine, we chose Tp-link tl-wpa4220kit as the device. The set from Tp-link contains two cables, designed for speeds up to 100 Mbps, to connect the modules with the router and with consumers. The main unit (tl-pa4010) was hooked up by wire to the router from MGTS with a rate of 500 Mbps. The mating box (tl-wpa4220) was inserted into the nearest outlet near the workplace, all the wiring is copper and laid about 20 years ago. The network diagram 220 turned out as follows: the main block - the input machine to the first room - the input machine to the second room - an extension cord of 3 meters - an extension cord of 3 meters - a distributing block. With this network configuration, the speed is about 13/19 Mbps (reception / transmission), the speed from your own Wi Fi access point turned out to be 5/5 Mbps. After reading the Internet decided to remove one extension cord. With this scheme, we got a stable speed over a wired connection of 35/30 Mbps. Removing the second extension cable, we got a stable speed of 70/70 Mbps. We tried to move the main unit to a nearby outlet, the speed immediately dropped to 60/60 Mbit / s, they returned it as it was. As an experiment, the microwave and oven were turned on in the kitchen, the speed dropped to 65/65 Mbps. As a result, everything works fine, the Internet is quite stable. From the remarks: the response unit (tl-wpa4220) heats up quite strongly, so it cannot be placed in a closed container. If the main unit (tl-pa4010) does not receive Internet, then the power diode blinks slowly.
