Review on πŸ’» Renewed TP-Link AV1000 Powerline Ethernet Adapter Kit, Gigabit Powerline Speeds up to 1000Mbps (TL-PA7010 KIT) by Stephen Good

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It works out. Qualities: Network adapter

The product is very easy to install and use. Make your own (mine only came with 1 cable), press the button on the side of each device and they should be ready to use. I was amazed by the possibilities that this product offers. Thought maybe I could use this to relay an internet signal to my power shed which is at the back of my property. Of course, the electrical panel is on one side of my 2600 SF ranch, and there is an additional 50 amp electrical panel on the opposite side of the house. From there, the line runs about 100 meters underground to the barn. The center light on the machine in the shed was red and I only got about 2.5MB download and about 0.2MB upload (speed on router is about 370MB upload/download). Obviously this is not the right application for this product. I figured I could use it to increase my home's Wi-Fi speed since the fiber optic modem and original Wi-Fi router are at one end of the house and my signal is getting worse with every Wi-Fi. Access point (I have an Eero gen 1 mesh system with 3 routers). I was hoping I could use them instead of running an ethernet cable between my three ethernet access points. The speed is actually slower when using these devices. If you're looking for an inexpensive way to get a limited internet connection in another part of your house, they work well to a degree, but expect a significant drop in speed. For example, when I started my application with these devices, I got 370 up and 370 down with an ethernet connection to the boot device. On the other side of the house, in my master bedroom, I'm getting a steady 83Mbps and an average of around 44Mbps. I tested it in the middle of the house and got a stable 182 down and 68 up. I was expecting some speed loss, but not at this level. I have decided to return mine and I only need to run an ethernet cable to get the speed I want through my eeros and I will probably need a 4th eeero that can provide WiFi outside and in my shed.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Sad packaging
