Garbage! Waste of money and time!
These things made my internet speed run at about 10% of the speed of my WIFI. And less than 4% of my hardwired internet speed. I was hoping these would at least improve on the 5Ghz WiFi speeds but no such luck. They actually killed my speed completely (see screenshots of speed tests). I’m a fan of TP-LINK products and have several of their smart switches and plugs in my home. These however are absolute garbage and do not deliver on their promise. The only positive I can say is that they were a breeze to set up and connect. However, given the end result, I wish I had saved myself the time and effort.

Don’t buy
If I could put no stars I would I was looking for this because at night time when my family is home everyone is using all their different devices and the internet gets slowed because of that which is normal and I play video games so I would lag a lot so I bought this thinking it would help and my family is not home at the time of testing but I normally when they are not on their devices get 80-120 mbps and I tested today without the tp link on a wireless network far from my router got 83.2 mbps then I plugged the tp link into the router and into my PlayStation and with the wired network I got 25.8 mbps

AMAZING!!!
Wow this thing is AMAZING! Very simple to set up & use -- the speed of my wifi went from 0.4 mbps to 19.9 mbps. Great for those working from home! They basically turn any electrical outlet into an ethernet port (never knew that was possible). Downside is you are plugged into ethernet, but positive is that the connection is stable 100% of the time vs wifi which is hit or miss.

Dead easy to setup and worked instantly
[Employee of bestbuy] Paired outlets in minutes with the pair button and ping is consistent and speed is slightly lower than my 5G WiFi but still good. Maxed out at about 180 megabits per second. Solid performance and no drops anymore.

Questions & Answers

I have one of those running on the latest available firmware (ver.: 3.2.4_701E04_190619_901) from TP-Link (US) and it stops functionin (no network connection), despite all LEDs being lit green, every day or two.
Hi! Powerline connectivity and data transfer rates will vary due to network environment variables including: distance between adapters, network traffic, noise on electrical wires, building material and construction, quality of electrical installation and other adverse conditions. First, please ensure both Powerline adapters are plugged directly into wall outlets - no surge protectors or power strips as these will directly interfere with the connection. We recommend following the suggestions outlined in FAQ 409 on our official website: https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/409/ If you'd like assistance with any of these steps, please reach out to our free support team using any of the resources included with the product, or from our official website, and we'll gladly have a Support Agent follow up with you directly. Thank you, TP-Link Support

I dont have a ethernet outlet in my new home and use a netgear router, what can I use to get wifi in my new home without having someone install it??
Hi! If you have an existing router, and if the router has multiple LAN/Ethernet ports, you can connect a Wi-Fi access point (or another router that supports Access Point Mode) to your router via Ethernet cable to provide your home network with Wi-Fi. Please note that the specific product model you asked this question on (TL-PA7017 KIT) does not provide Wi-Fi. It is designed to expand Ethernet (wired) coverage using the existing electrical wiring in your home.

Can I switch a wifi ap to a a Tl-PA 7017?
Yes, you can connect virtually any Ethernet-based network device to the Powerline adapter that is installed at the remote location. You can essentially view the two adapters as replacing the role of a long Ethernet cable from point A to point B.

How do I get additional plugs? How many can be connected? What is the part number for the plugs?
You can add up to 16 of the AV1000 class devices on one network, provided they can all talk to one another of course. You will slice up the 1Gb/s bandwidth for each device, so the more nodes you add, the less throughput you have for each.
