  • Quite better than the cheap models of tp-link plc, but it has some drops (definitely 2-3 times a day for 1-2 minutes) and now I have accepted the fact that I will have drops in the connection for life. However, the speed is quite satisfactory. It is transferred to another floor with the same DEI clock in a 2-storey house with new infrastructure.

    The wired connection is great, without interference and losses. It also connected immediately and easily to an existing pair without WiFi (TP-Link TA7017P).

    The main problem is the wireless connection:
    ∙ It disconnects frequently
    ∙ It doesn't have a long range
    ∙ Many times, even though it shows signal, it doesn't load any page in reality

    The purchase was made when it was priced at 99 euros and I wouldn't say it's worth the money.

    Purchased in January 2020. For a short period, it worked okay, but soon problems started. Specifically, it disconnects at regular intervals for about 2-5 minutes and then reconnects. There is no interference from any device, and there is no fluctuation in the power supply. The instructions and specifications state that they work connected in different phases. They have not been efficient, and I will contact the manufacturer for a replacement.
    Update 02/2021: Replaced with a new set within 10 days of returning to the supplier. The new set seems to be working fine so far.
    Update 04/2023: For a while now, the new set has been constantly disconnecting. It is completely unreliable compared to the reason it was purchased for.
    Stay away.

    I bought them because the wifi didn't reach the back of the house.

    They work perfectly! The speed is fantastic (I didn't measure it, but I'm talking from the experience of videostreaming) and the wifi signal is strong.

    The wired connection is very stable.

    I am very satisfied.

    The only point worth mentioning is what another user said, that the cables included in the package are slower than the powerlines. I separately bought cat. 6 cables.

    Having the devices for 8-9 months with a simple Adsl connection (24mbs) and 2 PCs connected to the network, I am satisfied. There are very few disconnections, but I haven't tried similar devices to compare. The price is a bit high, but considering the telecommuting era we live in, I consider it a good investment.

    I highly recommend it. With telecommuting, it saved me because I didn't have good coverage in my office, so I couldn't work. The tp-link solved the problem and now I have internet everywhere in the house because it is also wifi.

    ++ The losses compared to the router are minimal. (even though we are talking about ADSL)

    ++ The quality and range of the wifi are incredible (2xMIMO).

    ++ Three LAN ports.

    It is early and I don't have an opinion to mention any possible disconnections!

    I got it as an upgrade from the TL-WPA4020. In the end, out of the pair, I only use the 8630 since the 8010 had lower synchronizations than the 4020. Generally, if the house is old or does not have proper grounding, their speed drops dramatically since it operates on AV1 (SISO) protocol and not AV2 (MIMO). The 1300 Mbps is at least virtual. It works fine for passing a VDSL line, but if someone wants to use it for a NAS, they should be sure about their electricals. Even the reverse polarity between phase and neutral in a socket affects it.

    As a product, it is good, it does what you expect. If you can't connect at first, then it requires a small process to activate it afterwards!!!! I am satisfied with the use I got out of it.

    I have it just for one day.. the house is 130sqm, from the '90s. I bought it in order to cover the office through ethernet, which is far away from the router, but also to enhance the wifi for the remote rooms in general.
    My internet speed is 50Mbps, and from the router I get speeds between 38-47. With the powerline, whether through ethernet or wifi, I get speeds between 12-17. So, not good at all in this aspect, which is perhaps the most important... I should mention that the power supply is three-phase and the transmitter and receiver are in different phases, but based on user comments in general about powerline, I thought there wouldn't be much loss.
    It doesn't have any disconnections and seems to work smoothly. The construction seems to be of good quality and sturdy. The passthrough feature is useful so that you don't lose your power outlets.. I will continue to test it and if anything changes, I will come back.

    In the positives:
    · Supports MIMO, although it is not mentioned anywhere
    · Great range
    · Fast connection

    In the negatives:
    · The speed is excessively low on the 2.4GHz band
    · The speed is minus 10 to 20 percent on the 5GHz band

    Edit
    Almost six months later, it has never disconnected from the socket, it stays connected consistently.

    Flawless product, it does what it promises! It has 2 frequencies, 2.4 and 5.8... the 2.4 has a long range but not good speed. The 5.8 has a short range but fast internet speed, just like the original router of the house, without any speed loss! No disconnections so far! It connects very easily, worth its money as you have internet in every socket of the house! I have the Vodafone TV connected with a cable and it works perfectly without any issues. I have a wireless 4K 55-inch TV connected and it plays Netflix and YouTube flawlessly in high resolution. Buy it fearlessly because you will have the same speed as the original router, both wirelessly (only in 5.8, not in 2.4) and wired with a cable.

    The money I paid for this specific set compared to others, cheaper ones, was definitely worth it. The stability is top-notch, the wifi as well as the wired internet work at high speeds which are almost indistinguishable from a direct wired connection to the router, and the settings it has, at least for powerline, are more than sufficient. Overall, I am very satisfied and glad that I spent the extra money.

    The difference between washed and truly clean.

    The house simply has wifi now, whereas before you had to sit on top of the router like the old ones did by the fireplace to warm up.

    No problem, it works great, I plan to get a second set as well, just sometimes even though the connected device is close, I don't see it giving a full signal. The separate SSID doesn't say much because in reality it gives IPs from the same subnet that is defined in the DHCP pool on the router. So, if someone wants to separate the networks, they will have to do it on the router. Not that it bothers us anyway.

    update 7/4/21: I finally got a second set, a while ago. It solved a big problem for me.

    P.S. It has frozen on me twice so far.

    Since the era of the 500AV TP-LINK, I simply stopped looking at other brands. The set, in collaboration with an ASUS RT68U, provided me with full coverage on the 5G network, with stable wifi speeds of over 700Mbps in a 130sqm house. You can simply watch a 4K movie without any interruptions, and I haven't experienced a single disconnection in the past 2 months according to the Logs. The 3 Gb ethernet ports provide close to 900Mbps in my own house. Simply put, if I ever need to buy PLC again, this company is the only option.

    Very good set! The 5G makes a big difference and it also has good range. Very easy to set up and it has only disconnected once, but with a quick restart through the app, it was back online in seconds. I use it for wired IP TV and wireless online gaming and I am very satisfied with the speed.

    I have had them for about 2 months.
    Personally, I have the "without the ears" version with a nominal speed of 1300. In practice, I have seen them give about 900 max and this - for me personally - is enough.
    They are easily set up and do not show disconnections.
    The wifi range is GREAT! The signal is strong and stable - several settings can be made through the browser.
    Personally, I gave it a static IP and activated the guest network which works perfectly.
    The wifi unit has three Ethernet ports, so it can be used as a regular switch + access point.
    This probably justifies the high price, although - to be honest - I wouldn't pay more than 90€ (I bought the set in a Christmas offer for 89.9...)

    Excellent tool, I highly recommend it to anyone interested in expanding their existing network. Extremely easy installation, essentially just plugged them into the socket and they worked without even needing to pair them, and a very strong signal to the point where I consider the wifi to be stronger than my router's wifi.

    I highly recommend it. With telecommuting, it saved me because I didn't have good coverage in my office, so I couldn't work. The tp-link solved the problem and now I have internet everywhere in the house because it is also wifi.

    ++ The losses compared to the router are minimal. (even though we are talking about ADSL)

    ++ The quality and range of the wifi are incredible (2xMIMO).

    ++ Three LAN ports.

    It is early and I don't have an opinion to mention any possible disconnections!

    I got it as an upgrade from the TL-WPA4020. In the end, out of the pair, I only use the 8630 since the 8010 had lower synchronizations than the 4020. Generally, if the house is old or does not have proper grounding, their speed drops dramatically since it operates on AV1 (SISO) protocol and not AV2 (MIMO). The 1300 Mbps is at least virtual. It works fine for passing a VDSL line, but if someone wants to use it for a NAS, they should be sure about their electricals. Even the reverse polarity between phase and neutral in a socket affects it.

    As a product, it is good, it does what you expect. If you can't connect at first, then it requires a small process to activate it afterwards!!!! I am satisfied with the use I got out of it.

    I have it just for one day.. the house is 130sqm, from the '90s. I bought it in order to cover the office through ethernet, which is far away from the router, but also to enhance the wifi for the remote rooms in general.
    My internet speed is 50Mbps, and from the router I get speeds between 38-47. With the powerline, whether through ethernet or wifi, I get speeds between 12-17. So, not good at all in this aspect, which is perhaps the most important... I should mention that the power supply is three-phase and the transmitter and receiver are in different phases, but based on user comments in general about powerline, I thought there wouldn't be much loss.
    It doesn't have any disconnections and seems to work smoothly. The construction seems to be of good quality and sturdy. The passthrough feature is useful so that you don't lose your power outlets.. I will continue to test it and if anything changes, I will come back.

    In the positives:
    · Supports MIMO, although it is not mentioned anywhere
    · Great range
    · Fast connection

    In the negatives:
    · The speed is excessively low on the 2.4GHz band
    · The speed is minus 10 to 20 percent on the 5GHz band

    It solves all WiFi problems, on a distance of 2-3 floors, amazing machine, I will write again in 6 months for any potential issues.

    Edit
    Almost six months later, it has never disconnected from the socket, it stays connected consistently.

    Flawless product, it does what it promises! It has 2 frequencies, 2.4 and 5.8... the 2.4 has a long range but not good speed. The 5.8 has a short range but fast internet speed, just like the original router of the house, without any speed loss! No disconnections so far! It connects very easily, worth its money as you have internet in every socket of the house! I have the Vodafone TV connected with a cable and it works perfectly without any issues. I have a wireless 4K 55-inch TV connected and it plays Netflix and YouTube flawlessly in high resolution. Buy it fearlessly because you will have the same speed as the original router, both wirelessly (only in 5.8, not in 2.4) and wired with a cable.

    The money I paid for this specific set compared to others, cheaper ones, was definitely worth it. The stability is top-notch, the wifi as well as the wired internet work at high speeds which are almost indistinguishable from a direct wired connection to the router, and the settings it has, at least for powerline, are more than sufficient. Overall, I am very satisfied and glad that I spent the extra money.

    The difference between washed and truly clean.

    The house simply has wifi now, whereas before you had to sit on top of the router like the old ones did by the fireplace to warm up.

    No problem, it works great, I plan to get a second set as well, just sometimes even though the connected device is close, I don't see it giving a full signal. The separate SSID doesn't say much because in reality it gives IPs from the same subnet that is defined in the DHCP pool on the router. So, if someone wants to separate the networks, they will have to do it on the router. Not that it bothers us anyway.

    update 7/4/21: I finally got a second set, a while ago. It solved a big problem for me.

    P.S. It has frozen on me twice so far.

    Since the era of the 500AV TP-LINK, I simply stopped looking at other brands. The set, in collaboration with an ASUS RT68U, provided me with full coverage on the 5G network, with stable wifi speeds of over 700Mbps in a 130sqm house. You can simply watch a 4K movie without any interruptions, and I haven't experienced a single disconnection in the past 2 months according to the Logs. The 3 Gb ethernet ports provide close to 900Mbps in my own house. Simply put, if I ever need to buy PLC again, this company is the only option.

    My first impressions are that it is an incredible Power line adapter. Very easy and fast to connect and interface with the rest of the Wi-Fi, even through the downloaded application. Very fast in data transfer.

    Very good set! The 5G makes a big difference and it also has good range. Very easy to set up and it has only disconnected once, but with a quick restart through the app, it was back online in seconds. I use it for wired IP TV and wireless online gaming and I am very satisfied with the speed.

    I have had them for about 2 months.
    Personally, I have the "without the ears" version with a nominal speed of 1300. In practice, I have seen them give about 900 max and this - for me personally - is enough.
    They are easily set up and do not show disconnections.
    The wifi range is GREAT! The signal is strong and stable - several settings can be made through the browser.
    Personally, I gave it a static IP and activated the guest network which works perfectly.
    The wifi unit has three Ethernet ports, so it can be used as a regular switch + access point.
    This probably justifies the high price, although - to be honest - I wouldn't pay more than 90€ (I bought the set in a Christmas offer for 89.9...)

    Excellent tool, I highly recommend it to anyone interested in expanding their existing network. Extremely easy installation, essentially just plugged them into the socket and they worked without even needing to pair them, and a very strong signal to the point where I consider the wifi to be stronger than my router's wifi.

  • Quite better than the cheap models of tp-link plc, but it has some drops (definitely 2-3 times a day for 1-2 minutes) and now I have accepted the fact that I will have drops in the connection for life. However, the speed is quite satisfactory. It is transferred to another floor with the same DEI clock in a 2-storey house with new infrastructure.

  • The wired connection is great, without interference and losses. It also connected immediately and easily to an existing pair without WiFi (TP-Link TA7017P).

    The main problem is the wireless connection:
    ∙ It disconnects frequently
    ∙ It doesn't have a long range
    ∙ Many times, even though it shows signal, it doesn't load any page in reality

    The purchase was made when it was priced at 99 euros and I wouldn't say it's worth the money.

  • Purchased in January 2020. For a short period, it worked okay, but soon problems started. Specifically, it disconnects at regular intervals for about 2-5 minutes and then reconnects. There is no interference from any device, and there is no fluctuation in the power supply. The instructions and specifications state that they work connected in different phases. They have not been efficient, and I will contact the manufacturer for a replacement.
    Update 02/2021: Replaced with a new set within 10 days of returning to the supplier. The new set seems to be working fine so far.
    Update 04/2023: For a while now, the new set has been constantly disconnecting. It is completely unreliable compared to the reason it was purchased for.
    Stay away.

  • I bought them because the wifi didn't reach the back of the house.

    They work perfectly! The speed is fantastic (I didn't measure it, but I'm talking from the experience of videostreaming) and the wifi signal is strong.

    The wired connection is very stable.

    I am very satisfied.

    The only point worth mentioning is what another user said, that the cables included in the package are slower than the powerlines. I separately bought cat. 6 cables.
