TL-WPA4230P
I already have the TL-WPA4230PKIT but I need another TL-WPA4230P (not the KIT just the adapter). Where can I buy just TL-WPA4230P?

As you know, the powerline adapters are sold as a kit, while if you want to buy the extender unit only, there are some products available. Like TL-WPA4220, TL-WPA8630P.
Cause the current device is TL-WPA4230Pkit, the TL-WPA4220 is a good choice.

Hi, thanks for the explanation anyway TL-WPA4220 also come as a kit set and doesn't has electrical passthrough. I'm looking for just an extender/adapter with electrical passthrough and Wifi feature. Do you know any that you can recommend?

There is only one device available as a single unit with power passthrough, which is TL-WPA8630P.

While you can compare the price difference and whether the device is available on the local stores.
Good day.

Will there be any compatability problem If I buy the TL-WPA8630P KIT and use it with WPA4230P extender? Or should I use the TL-WPA4230P KIT with the TL-WPA8630P extender? Which pairing would you recommend?
1. TL-WPA8630P KIT with TL-WPA4230P extender
or
2. TL-WPA4230P KIT with TL-WPA8630P extender

Actually, both have their own disadvantages. The TL-WPA4230Pkit is AV500, while the TL-WPA8630Pkit is AV1300. With them used together, the powerline speed between the AV500 and AV1300 will be limited under 500Mbps.
Compared the two choices, the first one will be better cause the powerline speed between the TL-WPA8630PKIT can reach to 1300Mbps at least, not like the option 2, which powerline speed will not be higher than 500Mbps.
While if you want to upgrade to the TL-WPA8630PKIT, it is suggested to use 7/8/9 series with it together.

Looking at my ISP speed (which is at best 32Mbps) and also the networking speed at the near future and also I don't want to waster my TL-WPA4230P extender away I will do this.
(1) Plug in TL-PA8010P hock it up to my ISP modem........plug in TL-WPA8630P extender in room A........plug in TL-WPA4230P extender in room B
In the above lay out the power line speed between TL-PA8010P and TL-WPA8630P extender can reach to 1300 Mbps and power line speed between TL-PA8010P and TL-WPA4230P extender can reach max 500 Mbps. Did I get it right?
(2) If I plug in TL-PA4020P hock it up to my ISP modem........plug in TL-WPA8630P extender in room A........plug in TL-WPA4230P extender in room B
In the above lay out the power line speed between TL-PA4020P and TL-WPA8630P extender can only reach max 500 Mbps and power line speed between TL-PA4020P and TL-WPA4230P extender also can reach max 500 Mbps. Did I get it right?
If that's the scenario I will go with option (1) as I don't want to waste away the TL-WPA4230P extender as I still can live with 500 Mbps

Hello, you are right, while the powerline link rate between the AV500 and AV1300 will be affected by the AV500 a little, and the most important is the actual power line environment. AV1300 is the theoretical value.
May it help.
