AV1000 Powerline Ethernet Adapter Kit (TL-PA7017P KIT) - Passthrough, Noise Filtering, Gigabit Port, Plug Pair & Play, Network Adapter, Free Expert Support

I bought the TP-Link AV1000 Powerline Adapter kit because I needed a stable wired connection in a room far from the router, and it solved the problem without running long cables through the house. Setup was truly plug-and-play—plug both units into wall outlets, connect the Ethernet cables, and it was up and running in minutes. The connection has been much more stable than Wi-Fi for work and video calls, with consistent speeds and no random dropouts. That said, performance does depend on your home’s electrical wiring, so speeds may vary a bit depending on the circuit. I also found it works best when plugged directly into the wall, not a power strip. Overall, it’s a practical, no-fuss solution if you need reliable internet in another room and don’t want to deal with drilling holes or running cables everywhere.

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.

The TP-Link AV1000 Powerline Ethernet Adapter KIT (TL-PA7017 KIT) is a solid option for extending wired internet without running long cables. I like the plug-and-play setup—you just connect one adapter to your router and the other to your device, and you’re online in seconds. The gigabit port gives fast speeds, perfect for streaming, gaming, or even powering network gear in places where WiFi isn’t stable. That said, the big catch is that it only works if both adapters are on the same electrical circuit. If they’re on separate breakers or panels, they won’t communicate. This limitation means it may not work in all homes or larger setups. ✅ Pros: Easy setup—plug, pair, and play Gigabit port for fast wired speeds Compact, unobtrusive design Energy-saving mode helps cut power use when idle ❌ Cons: Must be on the same electrical circuit to work Performance can vary depending on wiring quality Doesn’t replace running a dedicated Ethernet line in tricky cases 💡 Tips: Before buying multiple sets, test in your home to make sure the outlets are on the same circuit. Avoid plugging into power strips or surge protectors—plug directly into the wall for best performance. If you need coverage across multiple circuits, consider a mesh WiFi system instead. Bottom Line: If your outlets are on the same circuit, this kit delivers fast and stable Ethernet without the hassle of long cables. Just be mindful of the electrical wiring limitations.

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!

"Extend your network where extenders and boosters cannot go!" OK. So I'm paraphrasing. What they don't tell you is that both units need to be on the same circuit...as in the same circuit breaker...as in the same ROOM! What good is that? I know it says on the same circuit in the depths of the description, but I naively assumed, since wifi in the same room with the router isn't exactly what I'd call a problem, that that meant on the same breaker box. i.e. the whole house circuit. I could understand it not working across breaker boxes...I know some people have more than one... but I mean, give me a break. The main title for the product should be "I am useless for the purpose you think you're buying me for." I set one up in my upstairs office wherein lies the router. Got all my nice little lights. Took the second to the basement for my smart TV, plugged it in...and got a blinking powerlight. I tried pairing, thinking that would get the units talking to each other. Ha! The middle light on the router end went blank...and the power button in the basement just kept blinking. Tried unplugging and plugging. Didn't work. Tried the link button long press to reset. Still nothing. I do not understand how anyone has gotten this thing to work. Heading now to hit the return button.

I received my order today, the setup was very straightforward and I'm very happy with my purchase. It arrived two days earlier, quite impressed with the seller. Thank you.

Atendeu minhas expectativas. Onde preciso de internet é só ligar o adaptador a tomada elétrica mais próxima e resolvido o problema.

Lo conecto a mi Xbox para jugar en línea, y es muy estable. Altamente recomendado, y que tenga el Plug adicional se agradece profundamente. No estas desperdiciando contactos.

TL-PA4010からの変更。 TL-PA7017では4010より倍の速度が出ました。 回線契約が今となっては遅い部類なのでここまでの速度が出れば当方の使途では十分です。 3Pプラグなので、使用には3P→2P変換プラグTAP-AD8BKを用いました。 本アダプターが重いからなのかコンセントに差し込んだ際傾いてしまいます。 3Pプラグ安全カバーAN-203B(要加工)をかませて、ほこりがかぶらないように保護して使用しています。
