## Description

TL-PA7017 KIT uses HomePlug AV2 technology to extend your wired internet. With Gigabit Ethernet port, it ensures high speed wired connection, providing data transmissions of up to 1000Mbps and allowing smooth transmission of Ultra HD video streaming. This makes the TL-PA7017 KIT the perfect home entertainment companion.Power line products in general, transmit data through the power line of your house. 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: Great solution to a tricky problem - I have a garage with power about 100' from my house. I built a barn about 100' from this garage and ran a cat 6E cable between the two. On the barn I have a solar array that can connect to the internet. My problem was getting the internet to the garage. I installed an outlet in the line to the garage in my house near my router. I then plugged this power line adapter into that outlet and ran an ethernet cable from my network switch to the power line adapter. I then plugged the other end of the powerline adapter into an outlet in the garage and ran an ethernet cable from the power line adapter to the ethernet cable that goes to my barn, connecting them with an RJ45 coupler. Works like a charm. The connectivity is great and I put an Eero in the barn and internet is great. The value is wonderful as the alternative is to dig a trench and bury an ethernet cable. The ease of installation was a breeze - although I have been using power line adapters for over 10 years - always TP-Link.
Review: Easy to set up and very helpful tech support through the chat! - I've been aware of these types of adapters for some time, but have never used them. I needed to purchase a set to provide an internet connection for one of my computers that is upstairs, not near my modem, and requires a Ethernet connection because it doesn't have Wi-Fi capabilities. So, I ordered these TP-Link adapters, which were delivered the same day, and had them connected and working with no problems within a few minutes of opening them. Very easy setup with clear instructions provided in the printed documentation included in the box, or using the digital documentation provided on the support site. I also downloaded the management utility from the support site, which is handy for checking the adapters' status, changing some device settings, and checking/updating the firmware. I wasn't 100% sure from looking at the support site if the firmware version installed on my adapters was the latest available, so I reached out to TP-Link support via the chat on the support site. The chatbot wasn't able to answer my question, but I was easily able to get through to a live support agent, Kristine Mae, via the chat. Kristine was very friendly, helpful, and able to confirm quickly that the firmware version I saw for my devices via the management utility was the latest and greatest. Very pleased with the product and the support!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do you have to be on the same breaker or just electrical panel and does it lose bandwidth?**
A: I had no problem running to a detached garage, which has it's own sub-panel. 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works like a charm!
*by A***R on March 8, 2026*

Just received the AMAZON delivery. Install was very easy, I made sure that both connections were on the same circuit. Did a speed test via SPECTRUM, as well as OoKla & the new connection speed was within acceptable ranges. My only problem with this purchase is that AMAZON sent me a 10' cat6 that was cut in half...needless to say that it is in the return/replace process. So after you install devices on both ends, all 3 leds need to be lit...that means you have a successful network connection. This is a great option in place of wired connections.
