Review on πŸ“Ά Enhance and Expand Your Network with TP-Link AV600 Powerline WiFi Extender and WiFi Booster (TL-WPA4220 KIT) by Ronggolawe Denney

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Be careful! Performance issues

The main problem is that the cables supplied are not designed for gigabit! which are marked as category 5e but are only category 5 at 100 Mbit/s. Replaced them with a Verizon OTN direct connection and a clock speed of 100Mbps. Plugged in my old cables and they were 800-900Mbps. It took me 4 days and more headache I thought I could figure out and that was for the 3 units I bought (ie 6 cables). I should have guessed that the cables were kind of flimsy. As for the modules - they don't work well with other brands (AV2 protocol), and as soon as I forgot to insert the third, the whole network destabilized. I'll try different pairing options (i.e. instead of copying the SSID first etc. pairing each set individually) but overall disappointed. The question of the cable aspect is a real problem on the supply side. Better not to include cables at all.
