## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the difference between the 300 and 500.**
A: The difference relates to the data transfer rate over the local link, the higher speeds would be useful if you were transferring a lot of data over your local network, such as transferring files between devices, notice I say local and not internet, if you're just using it to access the internet from a mobile then you don't need the 500.

**Q: How do you use this with Ethernet cable for one device and as a wifi extender as well in a wifi dead spot area?**
A: I have the main unit cabled into the router in the lounge. The second unit is set up in the Loft/Office with the main PC and NAS box cabled into the ethernet ports, the works laptop use the wireless connection. I used to have a very weak signal in the bedrooms before, but now they have a very good signal. Once you have syncronised the second unit to the main unit everything is automatic. Hope that helps.

**Q: can additional extenders be added? So one base unit wired to the router, and have several extenders throughout the house?**
A: Where do you purchase an additional homeplug? I need one more but don't really want the kit as I have the base unit already.

**Q: Can you connect other version's of a tp link powerline adapter to these?**
A: You can, but with caveats. I had a pair of existing 2,000mbps 2 port plugs set up (TL-PA9020PKIT). One next to my router, the other in my office. They work great, and I had full 2,000mbps speeds. 
I bought this kit to extend wifi up to the loft and out to the garden, not really fully realising there was a non-wifi master, and a secondary wifi slave. So there is only one Wifi extender in this pack (TL-WPA7510KIT)

It took me a few attempts, but I have now managed to get all 4 sharing my single network across 4 rooms. The trick seemed to be pairing them in a string sequence, not all to the first one in the router. 
So I had the first non wifi one plugged into the router, paired with my other non-wifi one. Then I paired that second one with the new master of the wifi kit (which is just a single port 1,000mbps , no wifi). Then I paired THAT one with the wifi extender one. Finally, I cloned my wifi settings on that last one. 

The downside is that my 2,000 network is now running at 1,000 because it all has to go at the speed of the slowest part in the network. 
And the wifi is only extended towards the garden, not towards the loft, because only one half of the TL-WPA7510KIT is actually broadcasting wifi.

Otherwise it's pretty plug n play. I seem to have to re-pair them after they've lost power. But now I have the knack, it's simple.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful piece of kit - 3 year review
*by K***E on 4 October 2022*

EDIT after 3 years of usage:I can confirm it works ultra reliably. I get a stable 600-700Mbps over the wireline connection. One key factor is where you connect the devices, ideally they should be on a single ring with no spurs. Additional spurs of extension cables used in between deteriorate the signal, if you keep it in mind and plan accordingly then it works wonders. Not a single reboot needed in 3 years of constant use.I had honestly been sceptical about it working over the power cables, but it does work perfectly. Make sure you plug it directly into sockets and not via extension leads, especially if they are loaded with other devices as the speed may drop significantly (or not be able to connect at all), so rather run a longer Ethernet cable to the nearest socket than an extension lead from it. Note that you need the main unit connected to your router, and the secondary unit (or several units) where you want it in your house. I can achieve close to the nominal 1Gbps when they are on the same ring, and slightly less when on different circuits. It works for me accross circuits but I suspect that it may to some extent depend on your fuse box, the manual recommends of course connecting both to the same circuit which indeed works best.One additional good thing is that, unlike typical wireless extenders, the primary and secondary units do not communitate wirelessly so do not cause extra interference of use up the bandwidth. Having said that, you have 1 Gb Eth port to use, but can also use built in 2.5 and 5GHz Wifi as either an extension of your home network, or as a separate network.Setup is easy, you can just plug them in and they work. You can additionally pair them (which you might want to do to avoid others trying to connect) by just pressing a button on each device, and clone your main wifi settings by pressing another button and the WPS button on your router - which you can use to extend your Wifi network. No need to connect to it to configure anything - but if you want to, you can do so via an app, web interface (via its wifi), or desktop tool. You can configure quite a lot of things actually such as MAC filtering etc. if you wish.Highly recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 3 month review
*by A***R on 6 June 2025*

Excellent piece of kit allowing me to get great broardband coverage into the back of the house where there's a black spot. All I needed to do was plug the TP-Link unit into the mains and plug the ethernet cable into the back you my broardband hub and then plug the receiving TP-Link unit into a mains socket in the room with poor signal strength and press the button on each to connect them both.It was very easy to set up and reliable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ TP LINK 2.4 + 5 Power line kit
*by M***E on 1 May 2025*

Ordered the cheaper 2.4 version but it was not strong enough to enable connection in my garden with the booster in my conservatory.This 2.4 + 5 version is far more expensive but enables wi-fi at high speed everywhere in my garden, this a a far superior unit that performs to perfection so far. Set up was easy and straight forward out of the box it was plug and play with only the password to enable connection. Perfect 5* unit, small, compact and smart looking.
