TP-Link AV1000 Powerline Ethernet Adapter Kit (TL-PA7017P KIT) - Passthrough, Noise Filtering, Gigabit Port, Plug Pair & Play, Network Adapter, Free Expert Support

I had a problem connecting my pool equipment controller to my home internet via wi-fi, The signal had to pass through a concrete wall and the signal was to weak to connect. I bought a pair of the tp-link AV1000 extenders to connect the controller antenna via my house electrical wiring to my modem/router. I was concerned that the two ends might not be on the same circuit as they were far apart and only connected by the master circuit box. However, they connected immediately and are working perfectly. Truly plug-and-play.

Keep in mind that any powerline adapter is ETHERNET ONLY. You cannot use a powerline adapter to extend your wifi or mesh. This is really good for somebody who really really needs a wired Ethernet connection but is too far from the router and doesn’t want to run a 100 plus foot cable onto the wall/floor and around things with a possible signal loss due to cable length.Disclaimer: Our ISP is coaxial only. We can’t get fiber at our house and cable is the next best option. My review is based on that type of connection.Here’s how it worked for me: I also ordered a couple of cat8 Ethernet cables (overkill maybe but I want the best speed and latency possible at any given time no compromises and the cat8’s were about 5 bucks each so why not go all in?) and this system. They also came with their own Ethernet cables I had no idea they would but the stock ones I’m not using.I was surprised to find that it actually worked on its own without any paring needed. At first I had the router end plugged into the far corner of the living room on its own outlet but that one was too far and the speed was pretty low. I moved it to a busier outlet that was a bit closer to my room from the living room and still managed to get it plugged in on its own and the speed jumped right back up.The other end goes to my console, and while my in-game performance was doing pretty well over wifi, there would be occasional spikes. This seems to have eliminated that but at first when i had it on the far outlet the latency seemed much much worse than wifi.In game latency at first setup jumped from 32 (over wifi) to over 70-80 with this system but then after a few days it came back down. I also do remote play sometimes so this helps a little on the sending end with stability. The consoles NATIVE speed test now shows around 28-36ms ping (I was getting that over wifi too) and about 40 or so in game. Interesting enough my in-game used to stay around 30 or so but those spikes seem to be gone so the extra 8-10 loss in my game doesn’t feel too big for the better stability that I now have. I thought this might just be a server issue but I use the same server as I did before and it’s just a little higher not noticeably.Keep in mind you HAVE to plug both adapters directly into an outlet no matter what for these to be effective. Absolutely no surge protectors or extension cords or none of that.Overall this works good for me, it fixed most of what I needed it to, and provides a wired Ethernet connection without being close to the router as I’m unable to anyway. Speeds remain the same as before though no change.

The TP-Link AV1000 Powerline Ethernet Adapter KIT (TL-PA7017 KIT) is a solid option for extending wired internet without running long cables. I like the plug-and-play setup—you just connect one adapter to your router and the other to your device, and you’re online in seconds. The gigabit port gives fast speeds, perfect for streaming, gaming, or even powering network gear in places where WiFi isn’t stable.That said, the big catch is that it only works if both adapters are on the same electrical circuit. If they’re on separate breakers or panels, they won’t communicate. This limitation means it may not work in all homes or larger setups.✅ Pros:Easy setup—plug, pair, and playGigabit port for fast wired speedsCompact, unobtrusive designEnergy-saving mode helps cut power use when idle❌ Cons:Must be on the same electrical circuit to workPerformance can vary depending on wiring qualityDoesn’t replace running a dedicated Ethernet line in tricky cases💡 Tips:Before buying multiple sets, test in your home to make sure the outlets are on the same circuit.Avoid plugging into power strips or surge protectors—plug directly into the wall for best performance.If you need coverage across multiple circuits, consider a mesh WiFi system instead.Bottom Line:If your outlets are on the same circuit, this kit delivers fast and stable Ethernet without the hassle of long cables. Just be mindful of the electrical wiring limitations.

This works great on my 10 year old sunpower solar system as a go between for solar readings on the app. Just plug in and sync both of them, its that easy. The cost is average, range is decent, one is in the garage and the other is on the 2nd floor of the house and has no issue connecting.

I was having an issue using Wi-Fi for my TV it would cut out once in a while which would kill the streaming. This worked perfectly I confirmed both plugs were on the same circuit plugged everything in and it worked perfectly. Highly recommend

Awesome! Our 70" samsung TV on wifi routinely dropped out of streaming apps, especially Direct TV's app which also would take forever to load. Our wifi router is literally in the next room on ATT fiber.Install couldnt be easier. Plug one box into the wall outlet, hit the pair button. Walk to the other location and do the same. In two minutes its paired. Connect the included ethernet cable from the router to one of the adaptors, and the other included ethernet cable from the other adaptor to you device. DONE!The TV has performed flawlessly. In fact, the other TVs in the house still on wifi that I used to think work ok now feel extremely slow!
