Model: TL-WPA7817 KIT   TL-PA7017P  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Hello,

 

Currently my router emit wifi only on one floor with an acceptable debit, but even on the same floor some devices have difficulties to reach the wifi.

 

So what I thought was using a CPL wifi for the other floor, and use normal CPL for these devices that have difficulties to reach it. I would like to know if it possible to set up the TL-WPA7817, a wifi CPL, then add to it a TL-PA7017P alone with it. Will this work ?

 

If you have other configuration ideas, I'm open for your suggestions

Hi

 

Is the other floor the same circuit as the room where the router is located?
If so, you could consider connecting the TL-PA7017P to the router using a wired connection, then pair it with the TL-WPA7817 placed on the other floor.

Considering that some devices on the same floor as the router also experience weak signals, it might be advisable to procure one TL-PA7017P and two TL-WPA7817 units. Once paired, position one TL-WPA7817 on the different floor and the other on the same floor where the signal strength is low.

  Hi @Joseph-TP ,

 

Thank you for your answer.

 

Normaly everything should be on the same circute.

 

I've done some tests with an old CPL I have, they are 500Mb CPLs. When I'm next to the rooter (which emits at 500mbps) I'm down to 40Mbps going through the CPL. 

Will newer CPLs have better performance ? (If I'm not plunging the old ones at the same time of course)

 

Can a setup like this work ? Plug the TL-WPA7817 base next to my rooter on the second floor, pair it with the TL-WPA7817 wifi emeter on the first and then pair a single (not in kit) TL-PA7017P in a room of the second floor ?
