Here are links to the kits, and some notes from me about installation and options.
We were so happy with the performance we got from our first kit we ordered a second kit, which includes a dual band wireless AC1200 access point to improve wireless coverage downstairs. TP-Link even has a smartphone app that lets you configure, monitor and troubleshoot your powerline network. This is how our powerline network performs. If your home has old wiring and you have multiple circuit breaker boxes between adapters performance can suffer, but may still be faster than WiFi, and you'll have reduced latency and better security. Realistically you can expect somewhere between 25% and 50% of the advertised speed in most situations.
The speed claims on these devices are pretty much marketing hype (theoretical limits), so you'll want to get the fastest version for the best performance.

The big advantage is that you can install this yourself in just a few minutes (see my notes below), and if you rearrange things in your house it's simple to move your network ports. According to the tpPLC utility, the slowest powerline node in our house is operating at over 600 Mbps, and that's the adapter that's on the opposite corner of the house, one floor down, and on a different circuit from the one on the router. However, if you are primarily concerned with fast, secure Internet service, then these kits work great. No, if you want the fastest network performance run Cat5E or Cat6 Ethernet cables all through your house. Is this technology as fast as Cat5e/Cat6 wired Gigabit Ethernet? The fastest at the time of this post support the HomePlug AV2 standard with the AV2000 kits having an advertised speed of 2 Gigabits Per Second (2Gbps) There have been loads of these developed over the years, with successive generations improving compatibility and performance. The power wires in between the outlets act as an extension for the Ethernet cables. Then you plug another adapter into the mains power outlet in whatever room you need and connect it to the equipment in that room with another Ethernet cable. One adapter will plug into a wall (mains/AC) outlet near your router, and you connect the adapter to your router with an Ethernet cable.

We are on 100/100 megabit FiOS internet, and we get full performance all the way to the furthest corner of the house.įor those not familiar with the technology, a Powerline Network uses your home's existing power wires as a wired network. After some research I ordered a TP-Link AV2000 Powerline Network kit and we have been very pleased with the results. My ASUS dual band 3x3 MIMO router worked great at the old house, which was actually larger, but something about the new house really kills WiFi reception. We recently moved into a new house with WiFi eating walls.
