TL-PA717 KIT 1-Port Gigabit Powerline Adapter Starter Kit, Speed Up to 1000 Mbps, WiFi Extender Ideal for HD/3D/4K Video Streaming and Online Gaming(for Wired Only), No Configuration Required

Bought the TP-Link TL-PA717KIT 1-Port Gigabit Powerline Starter Kit to get reliable internet out to my garden office, about 30 metres from the house, and it’s been excellent. Setup was incredibly easy — plug in, pair, and it just works. Within minutes, I had a stable, high-ish speed connection without drilling holes, running long Ethernet cables, or battling unreliable Wi-Fi extenders. The connection has been consistently solid and far more reliable than any Wi-Fi booster I’ve tried. Speeds are more than good enough for work, video calls, streaming, and general day-to-day use, and the stability is the real win here. If you need dependable internet in an outbuilding or room far from the router, this is a simple, effective solution. Highly recommended.

BT put in fibre broadband and changed the position of my router to the quickest, cheapest place at the back of my old rambling house with thick stone walls. So no TV at front of house any more. Rudely told to get a booster. So looked at my options and chose this system. Easy to install and works well but remember it needs yet another plug socket near router and another by TV. Make sure it's all on the same wiring circuit - look in consumer unit (fuse box to you and me) and see that you only have one switch for 'downstairs sockets' for example. BT tried to sell me a much more complicated and expensive system. Whole experience with BT/Openreach very poor.

Bought these as home office does not have an ethernet port for computer, and wifi can be a little intermittent. They were very simple to install, with no issues of them finding each other, and build quality was good. As expected with this solution, the speed was not what i get to the house, but was stable at around 80-100mbps through multiple tests, so would likely serve most connections. Key for me however was connection stability for online gaming which is where this product did not meet my needs. Even after testing different configurations in my home (new build) I would experience periods of packet loss, peaking around 4%. For 98% of applications this is not an issue and can be very dependant in my home wiring and other interference. I would still recommend these for anyone requiring a stable connection where wifi or cabled ethernet is not an option.

I bought this product to extend my wifi to my garage about 80 meters from the house. I have a number of smart plugs in the house linked to Alexa and I wanted to add one in the garage. This device does exactly what it says it does, i.e. extends the existing wifi down a mains cable. Some older type extenders create a separate subnet remotely which complicates connectivity but this one doesn't, which is great. I can't comment on data rates as I only ever send a small amount of data remotely. One minor irritation is the operating instructions which aren't clear. The device configures itself easily - i.e. plug the sender into the router using ethernet and then pair the sender and receiver, but the description of what the lights mean is unclear, especially as the labels on the lights are difficult to see. In addition, the receiver goes into sleep mode after about 1 minute (which is great!) but I thought it was loosing its connection. I would certainly recommend this product. It has been working well for over 1 month

Excellent does the job with my Sky box.

Bought these as a replacement for a pair of “Strong” gigabit powerline plugs (reviewed & returned). First impressions are very good: quick and easy to pair, through-put appeared sufficient to my needs (moving multi-GB files between PC and NAS), and the management tool allowing adjustments to QoS was a welcome change to the previous brand. However… While a file transfer will begin at 40 to 50 MB/s, so shifting a 4GB file in ~3 mins, after 30 seconds or so the throughput begins to degrade until it’s hobbling along below 10MB/s. I tried the four different QoS settings, with no appreciable difference. Unfortunately, one of the settings is not “Off.” I then looked for a firmware update and the most recent listed is from 2019, which is the one already installed. I would say that if your use-case involves continual low-load (NetFlix, YouTube, etc) and/or short bursts of high-load, then these will suit you very well – especially with the QoS settings letting you tune them to your needs. However, for my needs they are just not up to the job, so they're going back.

I have lived at this address for 16 years and always had solid wi-fi using various routers, then recently Apple updated the OS and my speeds plummeted when using 5Ghz to less than 1mbps, though 2.4GHz was strangely unaffected. I know another Mac user, who is also on an intel machine with the same bug with no fix in sight using Sonoma. After a lot of messing around I found a solution, however it would revert with every restart of the computer, which isn't really tenable, given that I work from home as a web designer, so I decided to buy these as an alternative. A major reason for doing so was also that I have a router from the same brand, so I figured it was more likely to work well that way. The set up is so simple, simply plugging in both adaptors with the Ethernet cables and then pressing the power button on each unit for them to sync in 2 seconds and encrypt the data. I did need to buy a couple longer Ethernet cables separately, since the supplied ones were not long enough in my case. Sometimes during the day it will temporarily slow down to around 50mbps for reasons that are not clear but most of the time it works at the full 74mbps that my line can manage, so I have decided to stick with these. Actually they seemed to improve after a couple weeks, so perhaps there was some adjustment on the line. We are supposed to be getting ultrafast broadband here soon, but it is good to know these will be fast enough to manage that as well, so I can basically stop worrying about potential wi-fi issues that might affect my work. Also if we move in future I'll have these ready should any wi-fi signal difficulties occur.

Excellent way to get the internet without putting 623 miles of extension cable round the house. Very happy with the speed and connectivity.

Only works on the same electric circuit so you might as well just buy an ethernet cord for its price and run it to your device

لا استطيع تقييمه لانه واحد يعمل لا اعرف هل هو جيد ام لا

Excellent and food price i recommend

I made a mistake and bought the wrong one, Naman from Amazon was the best and really looked after me

plugged in and worked without any configuration. Well, Almost - pushed the pairing buttons on both plugs
