TP-Link AV1000 Powerline Adapter Kit<\/a> is now on sale at Amazon for $53.97, and this deal ends at midnight tonight, so don\u2019t delay if you want to add wired internet to another room. This kit includes 2 powerline adapters, one plugged into an outlet near your Wi-Fi router and the other plugged into an outlet in the destination room. It also includes 2 Ethernet cables, one for each adapter.<\/p>\nWhat the TP-Link AV1000 Powerline Adapter Kit has to offer<\/p>\n
TP-Link specifies a theoretical data transfer rate of up to 1,000 Mbps in accordance with the HomePlug AV2 standard. However, they also point out that, in practice, only around half or a third of that speed is actually realized. Actual network performance will depend on your router and the electrical wiring throughout your residence.<\/p>\n
Each adapter features a Gigabit Ethernet port, making the set particularly suitable for devices that benefit from a stable wired connection, such as smart TVs, streaming boxes, gaming consoles, and NAS systems. When plugged in, the adapter has its own outlet so you don\u2019t lose access to your wall outlet. It also features a noise filter that reduces data transmission interference caused by connected devices.<\/p>\n
Note: These powerline adapters have no Wi-Fi. They\u2019re solely designed to provide a wired network connection via power outlets. TP-Link recommends connecting the adapters directly to wall sockets rather than using power strips, and performance may be limited on older electrical setups. In such cases, you should opt for a mesh system instead.<\/p>\n
Why this deal is worth it<\/p>\n
At $53.97, this TP-Link AV1000 Powerline Adapter Kit isn\u2019t at its absolute lowest historical price, but it is the best price it\u2019s been all year.<\/p>\n
It has over 11,000 user reviews that are predominantly positive, with common praise for its simple plug-and-play setup, its stable connection, and its ability to run network connections through the home without additional network cables. Most of the criticism is levied against its achievable transfer rates, which isn\u2019t unusual for powerline in general.<\/p>\n
If you have Wi-Fi dead zones in your house, or if you have devices in fixed locations that could benefit from wired connectivity, then a powerline adapter set like this is an effective and relatively inexpensive option.<\/p>\n
