Hi, looking to buy a decent powerline twin kit, but I can't seem to find one that both adaptors broadcast wifi? Yes I require the first one that plugs into my router to have wifi also. Is there a kit that does this please or is there a work round? Thanks

Hi,

 

As far as I am aware there is no twin-KIT available from TP-Link that contains two WiFi-capable Powerline adapters.

 

A workaround would be to buy two single TL-WPA... Powerline adapters.

 

The only difference would be that two single units likely need to be paired manually via an easy procedure, while the devices that come in a KIT are paired already out of the box.

  @woozle thanks for the swift reply, I thought the one that connected to the router was "special" so if I purchased 2 x singles i.e. TL-WPA8630P that should work for me ?
