The power line rate is mainly decided by the quality of power line environment it’s operating in. When your power line rate is low, you may try the steps below to improve the quality of service.Step 1:Please check whether your powerline adapters are plugged directly into a wall outlet. If not, please move the adapters to an outlet on the wall.Step 2:Please check if there are electrical devices, which have a motor inside them, around the powerline adapters. Such equipment can be air-conditioners, washing-machines, electric-fans etc.. Please move such equipment to another location if possible, or move powerline adapters away from such equipment. You may also buy a surge protector and plug such equipments to its outlets to avoid any interference they may cause.Step 3:Please check if there are AC power adapters, such as those used for mobile phones, laptops or something else around the adapters. If the quality of AC power adapter is not good, it may cause noise on the power line circuit. Please move it to another place away from the powerline adapters.Step 4:Please check if the distance between the adapters is too long. In theory, the maximum distance is 300 meters. However, with interference and line quality, it will be hard to reach the full 300 meters. Review: Decent alternative to ethernet - Simple solution between wifi and ethernet. Rather than running wires, you plug 1 unit into the wall and your router, then the other unit to your computer/console. Since these are single port units I'll explain this: 2 units will provide internet to 1 device, 3 units will provide for 2 devices. If you get a 2 port unit it WILL work with these. As for use, downloads will be slower, but the ping is faster. For example the game 'street fighter' runs better. But a larger game like battlefield you won't feel a difference, but the consistency of ping will be better. Review: Solves the wired connection problem, just know these two things first - I needed a reliable wired connection in a room too far from the router to run a long ethernet cable, and this handled it well. Setup was simple, plug one adapter into the outlet near your router and connect it with an ethernet cable, then plug the second adapter into an outlet in the other room and run a cable to your device. No pairing needed, it connected on its own within a minute. Once it was running, a speed test on the wired connection showed 26.3 Mbps download, 16.7 Mbps upload, and 26 ms latency, which matched what my internet plan allows. The only downside was the first outlet I tried was on a different circuit than the router, and it simply wouldn't connect until I moved it to an outlet on the same circuit. Once I did that, it worked without issue. Two things to know before buying. First, this is ethernet only, it will not boost or extend your wifi, so it's not the fix if weak wireless signal is your problem. Second, both adapters need to be plugged straight into the wall on the same electrical circuit, never into a power strip or surge protector, or they won't communicate properly. If you need a stable wired line for a TV, console, or work setup and don't want to run cable through your walls, this gets the job done. ## Features - 𝐄𝐱𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐄𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐭 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 - This device is meant for for areas where thick walls block Ethernet connections, where routers or range extenders do not work.

I got around 60 Mbps throughput from 2 and 6 Ghz and the "Gigabit" port, same on either phase in the subpanel. That's down from around 90 Mbps when the remote was inside the house near the base unit. It definitely did not like running with the remote plugged in to a GFI outlet -- it would not stay connected. I had to install a non-GFI outlet for it. **Q: Does this block the second plug-in on a standard wall outlet?** A: With this product plugged into the bottom outlet, a standard three-prong plug doesn't quite fit properly in the top outlet. It goes in far enough to work, but it's jammed against the top of the AV1000 unit. A two prong plug should work fine. **Q: How long are the included ethernet cables?** A: The TL-PA7017 Kit comes with two 6.5 ft. (2m) Ethernet cables. **Q: The description says "No new wires". So does this unit come with an ethernet cable to connect to the router?** A: Yes, the TL-PA7017 Kit comes with two Ethernet cables. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Decent alternative to ethernet *by B***N on August 3, 2026* Simple solution between wifi and ethernet.

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. ## Frequently Bought Together - TP-Link AV1000 Powerline Ethernet Adapter KIT - Gigabit Port, Plug Pair &Play, Ethernet Over Power, Nano Size, Power Saving Mode, Network Adapter (TL-PA7017 KIT) - Vabogu Cat 8 Ethernet Cable, 3ft Heavy Duty High Speed Internet Network Cable, 26AWG, 2000Mhz 40Gbps with Gold Plated RJ45 Connectors, Shielded for Indoor & Outdoor Use - TP-Link TL-SG105, 5 Port Gigabit Unmanaged Ethernet Switch, Network Hub, Ethernet Splitter, Plug & Play, Fanless Metal Design, Shielded Ports, Traffic Optimization,Navy Blue --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/207570635-tp-link-av1000-powerline-ethernet-adapter-kit-gigabit-port-nano](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/207570635-tp-link-av1000-powerline-ethernet-adapter-kit-gigabit-port-nano) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-04*
