Advice on Powerline Product selection
Advice on Powerline Product selection
I'm new on here and looking for some advice. I have a wifi router in one room and I struggle to get WiFi in other places of the house. I have used a TP-Link TL-PA717 powerline adaptor to connect a PC in another room via ethernet which works great and i'm getting 200mbps speeds. Is there any kind of add-ons that can use the same TP-Link TL-PA717 that I already have connected to the router and just connect to the same uplink? and potentially act as a wifi repeater or something? That way I can potentially put a few in different rooms?

Hey John
You are indeed correct, the TL-WPA7510 has 750mbps WiFi speeds and 1000mbps powerline speeds, bear in mind this is the theoretical max so your actual transfer rate will vary on distance, static, cable type etc etc. I had the 1200 models and was averaging around 350mbps on the powerline connection, as an example. If you get 200 at present, these should be the same.
Ok so the device also has a 1GB LAN port, this means your computer or whatever you have cabled into it will connect at 1000mbps, basically you wont be restricted in any way as this will be faster than your homeplugs/house wiring will ever really allow (~200mbps i believe you mentioned)
The tl-pa4010 ones you had before came with 10/100 ports for some unknown reason!! Therefore if you powerline connected at 200, you would be limited to 100 by the port which was usually the case with that older model. This wont be the case with the WPA7510, your in house wiring will be the limits here.
Hope that helps!
