TP-Link AV1300 Powerline WiFi Extender(TL-WPA8631P KIT)- Powerline Ethernet Adapter with AC1200 Dual Band WiFi, Gigabit Port, Ideal for Gaming/4K TV

Esta es una reseña del modelo TL-WPA8631P Kit. Compre este modelo en Nov. 2021 asi que llevo casi dos años usandolo del diario. Es un excelente producto y lo recomiendo a todos mis amigos. La instalacion es super facil; en menos de 15 minutos ya estaba listo. El apareamiento (pairing) funciono muy bien. En mi colonia hay apagones frecuentes, casi uno por mes, y el tp-link responde muy bien; apenas llega la luz y se sincroniza y empieza a funcionar como si nada hubiera pasado. El extensor tiene tres puertos de ethernet, lo cual es muy generoso. Uso un puerto para mi TV, otro puerto para otra computadora, y el tercer puerto es muy util para hacer pruebas o conectar otro aparato si es necesario. La velocidad de transmision por la red electrica no es tan rapida (TX = 700 Mbps y RX = 560 Mbps); esto es probablemente porque mi instalacion de la red electrica en casa ya es muy vieja (mas de 30 años). Pero no noto ninguna lentitud en mis conexiones. Una prueba con Internet Speedtest de Ookla me da justo lo que mi proveedor de internet me da. La interfase web para configurar las unidades es muy buena. Es muy configurable y facil de usar (version para MacBook Pro). Incluso puedes configurar una direccion de IP statica con un solo click y muchas otras funciones mas. La aplicacion tpPLC para iPad tambien es muy buena. Yo casi no uso las redes de Wi-Fi, pero mis pruebas resultaron que la señal es muy buena (144 Mbps en la banda de 2.4 GHz y 243 Mbps en la banda de 5 GHz, estando a 5 metros de la unidad emisora). En mi parecer, la banda de 2.4 GHz es mejor porque la señal parece ser mas estable y atraviesa mejor las paredes. Pero si estas cerca de la unidad emisora, las dos bandas funcionan muy bien. Y la seguridad de la red es muy buena, de WPA2/WPA3 - Personal. Que mas les puedo decir? Que estoy muy satisfecho con este producto y lo volveria a comprar si lo necesitara. La calidad del servicio tecnico es buena tambien, pues han contestado a todas mis preguntas con amabilidad, prontitud y exactitud. Nota: uso este producto para darme conexion de internet via cable de ethernet entre mi cuarto donde tengo el router hasta mi estudio donde tengo mi TV y una computadora. No sabria decirles la distancia exacta, pero creo que es de mas o menos 12 metros.

This TP-Link Powerline WiFi Extender has been a game changer for my work-from-home setup. I needed a stable, hardwired connection, and this delivered exactly that. Using the powerline feature, I was able to get a strong Ethernet connection in a room far from my router without running long cables through the house. My internet connection is now consistent, fast, and reliable—no dropped calls, lag, or interruptions during meetings. Setup was quick and easy, and it worked right out of the box. The WiFi extension is an added bonus, but the real win for me is the solid hardwire connection it provides. If you work from home and need dependable internet in another room, I highly recommend this TP-Link Powerline extender. It’s simple, effective, and does exactly what it’s supposed to do.

Es importante que verifique que sea una sola línea eléctrica y no haya otra red eléctrica suministrada o esté separada de piso en piso ya que se comunican usando el cable eléctrico de un enchufe a otro para que funcionen correctamente

I needed a wireless signal in my detached garage to service a Rain Bird LNK2 WiFi Module. The wireless signal from the house was uselessly weak so an alternative was needed. Since there was electricity from the house, going to the garage, I decided the TP-Link Powerline WiFi Extender(TL-WPA8631P KIT) might work. Although it took two days to discover a setup that worked, it is now working flawlessly, I'm happy to say. I paired the Adapter and the Extender in my home office and placed the Adapter in an outlet closest to the garage that had an Ethernet extension available and plugged the Extender into an outlet in the garage. When I tried to program the Rain Bird Controller, using my iPhone XS I found a drop down list of available networks from which to choose. After some trial and error, I discovered the network that I needed was labeled TP-Link_DOCC; that was the Extender's WiFi output and it had a very strong signal. The network required a Password which can be found on the label on the back of the Extender. On my iPhone, I selected that network and inserted the Password I found on the Extender and it worked perfectly.

First, I have several TP-Link products which have all been easy to setup, use, and maintain. In general, their products are good so far. This product did not meet their past standards for installation and results. Setup The install guide has 4 sets of instructions, all of which are incomplete. None will get the product successful installed correctly on their own if you want to integrate this with One Mesh. You have to use them all or know how to navigate and troubleshoot on your own to get this installed. Verification and Maintenance If you have other TP-Link products and use Tether to manage them, forget it. Tether won't work with the Powerline adapter. You have to download and install tpPLC app to install and maintain this product. And, it doesn't use One Mesh, it uses Easy Mesh which is anything but easy. It appears that this Powerline adapter is not well integrated into the TP-Link product portfolio. Tech Support While you can get to a Tech Support person via Chat, they are absolutely useless and often provided inaccurate information. The tpPLC app for Mac OS was last updated in 2020 for Mac OS 10.15. It would not install on the current Mac OS which is Sonoma 14.4.1. When I inquired about the availability of an updated version, the tech support person kept trying to get me to install a Windows OS version and kept making references to obsolete products that are not even listed on the TP-Link website. After some back and forth, it became obvious the tech support person didn't know the difference between the 2 operating systems nor anything about the product I was trying to install. Results This is what counts. It doesn't work. The tpPLC app says it is installed correctly using my existing SSIDs but when I sit next to the Powerline adapter, the speeds are awful. It doesn't matter if you are using the Powerline adapter wired or wireless, same results. If I disconnect the Powerline adapter and let my device connect to a TP-Link range extender which is 50 feet away, I get 2x the speed that I got using the Powerline adapter. This is a half baked, useless product that is not well integrated into the TP-Link product portfolio. Avoid.
