How To Set Up a Powerline Adapter Network - with WiFi Range Extending
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 май 2024
- I shall walk you through on the establishment of a powerline adapter network using two Powerline Adapters. One of them has WiFi range extension, and I use that too. The specific adapters are the TP-Link PA-4010 and WPA-4220.

Wow I stumbled on this video doing power line research. How much your videos have changed!
Awesomeness, so what about security if you live in a building apartment? Someone could access your network using the same adapter from a different apartment ...
wow been following ufd for a year and found this gem when wanting to set up powerline
Wow what a difference compared to your current videos, I'm a big fan of your videos and I see the huge improvement. 😊
Wow! You were so new at this in the video and it shows. You've definitely come a long way.
Thanks for the video man! It would be nice if you make one showing how to setup encryption between powerline units. That's important too for some people.
Been viewing through various videos, you have Nailed explaining each point perfectly. You have certainly got my like and subscription for sure.
A powerline adaptor connects your computer to the internet by using your home's electrical wiring. With a powerline adaptor, you can truly get the best of both worlds. A powerline adaptor is sometimes called a powerline-Ethernet adaptor because it still uses an Ethernet cable, just in a more limited capacity.
Best video on this subject that I have seen so far - and I have watched several. Unfortunately, I don't have a WPS button on my modem. Any suggestions?
Great video! I wish I knew this existed 3 years ago. Now I don't really need it but it sure seems useful.
Such a helpful video. Step by step explains everything perfectly !! Thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Spectacular video! Thank you! I wonder whether the powerline adapters will show as 2 separate ethernet devices with separate IP addresses on router network map?
Great video. Can you add a new WiFi network from the power line adapter through a separate WiFi router?
Great video i was struggeling with exactly the same problem as you thanks!
Thank you so much! This was the best video I found explaining everything clearly!
6 years later this still worked like a charm thanks man
How much ping do you run in games now
@@kyanblevins3431 I was on like 40 but now about 15
@@Bully_Lowenthal_ how did you get it to work tho I paired mine and Everything and it made my wifi worse it felt like it even made my wifi go out while it was plugged in do you know a fix
@@kyanblevins3431 sorry can’t help
@@Bully_Lowenthal_ it's all good
So does this act more like a mesh network where it actually extends the range(like an external antenna) instead of providing a second wifi signal?
Omg, I always thought my powerline thing was a distance thing, so they never connected, I switched from a adapter powerline plug, to a wall socket and I got connection. This video should have way more likes. Never thought it was sending a connection through the powerline lmao
i was searching for powerline setup and boooommmm ufd tech i was like oh yeah yeahhhh making gd videos since ever gd job guys
I know right. I was thinking Powerline network adapter was a fake but i trust ufd
Good video, thanks for the help.
+Floki 😀
Very good but would like to know the speed you’re getting from both hard wire and wifi extension.
Just moved into new house. Perfect video for my situation right now. Thank you
Bought these on your recommendation from Talealot Cape Town. Cant get them to work for the life of me!!
Mark Bune have you paired the units, the don’t come paired, you have to do this yourself.
Great video...helped tremendously
Very helpful tutorial, great for my gaming PC
nice and clear explanation, I just need to try.
I think the best thing about this video is ending, love that rap lol
I only have telephone line wall outlet in my apartment....can I use this product. ..my cable guy installed my wifi with the coaxed cable.on the wall ..he said the ethernet is plug from my cable modem to the my back of my tv...he said wireless is better which I don't think so. .I keep unplugging it a bunch of times throughout the day lol..I've seen videos how to make my telephone line into a ethernet but it's gotta have cat5e cable it doesn't so I'm thinking this could wrk..
Great video! Thank you!
Loved the video. You did a great job showing and telling. Thanks
Excellent description
Powerline adapters are great if your wiring allows good function. The documentation that comes with the Powerline adapters state put them on the same electrical circuit for best result. I have sending unit downstairs and the receiving unit upstairs. Speed is not too great and tried to use to connect to TiVo Mini without success. Computer connection was just OK but not great.
Thank you very much that was helpful
You are great in explaining Sir.
Excellent video thanks
Great video, and very well explained. What if router doesn't have a wps button?
I have 2 WiFi extenders exactly as in this video. I paired them both but only one of them puts out wifi. They both give either net but only one wifi. Yes I have paired them both correctly. The wifi would work on both until i switch on the either net on both, then one of the wifi`s gives way. Any ideas?
I have an extra router and I want to use it for the bottom floor, do i need to connect it to the main router?
Is is worth it to hook up a second wireless router to the second receiver? Or is it necessary to extend the wifi range?
is it possible to use two sets of powerline adapters on the same electrical circuit? this is to eneable to me to extend the wifi to both downstairs and to the garage.
Great video ty very much Sir 👍🏿
+Johnny Sparks No. Thank you.
I think the input holes are different everywhere, I'm in AU and we use different holes, it's also different when I went to Canada
Do you not have to pair them first before doing the wps thang
i appreciate all your vids man. you specify everything in detail and are very informative. and you do it all really fast which i like because i’m also fast paced with pretty much everything i do.
But Man!!! lmfaooo 🤣😂😅 you sound nervous as hell in this video bro hahah. I’ve seen all of your newer published works prior to just now watching this oldie. I’m sure anyone who’s watched your videos in a similar queue have noticed how quickly you’ve overcame this newbie phase portrayed in this video, a phase of which i’m sure every great youtuber has gone through. But damn, it sure is humorous to look back on, well, i hope, and that i’m not offending you or anything. Nervous or not, you still nailed this video and it got a thumbs up from me. 👍
I purchased a powerline adapter and its only one but do you need two for it to work??
This will save my latency during gaming so much
Great video.. I just want to know if the distance matters? im also from South Africa Btw:)
Your video helped me a lot
I went ahead and pressed the WPS button on my router and then on my power line adapter and they both blink but don't stop as if they aren't recognized...? What do I do? Or do I need to press it on both adapters AND my router?!
My sisters room has the router but there is a bunch of stuff plugged into it though, can I use a drop cord to plug it in?
hi this was really good up to 5:20, you lost me there. what router looks like that? mine doesn't. is this a second router on the other floor of the house?
will it send wifi signal or you need the ethernet cable to be linked to the wifi booster or router?
So is it safe to plug your powerline straight to your modem???? Is there any negatives about it?? I just bought a powerline and I have no router.
My pc isn’t reading the Ethernet cable for some reason? And I’ve tried everything, anything helps!
Thank you Waldo!
dose it affect your speed if you run the internet from powerline ?
Oh my god. Superb !
Thanks for your video.
Do the outlets have to be on the same circuit?
if my receiver adapter does not have wifi would it be possible to connect a second router to it instead?
Great knowledge
How does the internet travel through the power wires and find the receiving unit?
Can u connect to a tplink on ur iPad
Great video. I like that the distinct parts are easily identifiable using the stripy tee shirt against the dark curtain as punctuation!
Me - I'm trying to get stronger wifi in my garden. The garden electrical circuit is, currently, the lighting circuit. My router, boosters, mainline internet adapters are inside on the plug socket circuit.
I think I'm going to have to do some more tinkering. There's only a foot of bricks in between a TP Link AC1900 (plugged in right next to one of my two TP-Link TL-PA9020PKIT 2-Port Gigabit Passthrough Powerline Starters) and, on the external side of the wall, one of my two TP-Link TL-PA4010KIT Nano Powerline Adapters next to a NETGEAR 11AC 750 Mbps (300 Mbps + 450 Mbps) Dual Band Gigabit Wi-Fi Range Extender. Not making much of a difference, though. Wifi, in the garden, is still patchy.
I've got all these bits and I'm sure I'm not using any of them correctly! One of the TP-Link TL-PA9020PKITs is connected, to the router, with an ethernet cable. I think I got that bit right. I am currently, in a way, trying to house a tiger in a shoe box! Got a lovely big enclosure set up - the tiger is still happiest in the shoe box. Also, I suspect the Netgears are fighting with the TP Links...
Also, my computer doesn't have an ethernet port. Can I plug it into the tv?
Does this only work in South Africa?
Is the receiving adapter getting the internet signal through the Wi-Fi, too? I am asking because I see it uses the WPS button to provide wireless coverage. I thought the Wi-Fi provided by the receiving adapter would come from the powerline as well. Please clarify.
This is what I thought as well
This has all the components that I want to configure for: Internet into modem, into firewall then to hardwired AC power mesh with adapters.
I realize this is an old video and I’m late to the game but I was wondering does the Internet come in through the powerline adapter abide by the same firewall and security that you have set up with your Internet? I assume it does?
Yes it does. This setup uses your home's electrical wiring as a way to send network traffic. It doesn't alter the actual traffic.
this has been so difficult for me with the NEXXT Sparx200 ...
Thanks man
The video is good, I guess Waldo is in South Africa???
Can you set it up with a normal wall outlet
Will this work in an apartment building? Also do I need to plug it into the wall or can i use a surge protector or other outlet apdapters? Thanks.
it would be better to plug it directly in because a surge protector might read the powerline frequency as unwanted noise and cancel it out
Intestead of connecting the second power line on the lapto can someone connect it in another router ?
Can I plug it into a power strip ?? will it work ?
good one!
What about security? Awesome video by the way!
if there is no WPS button on modem then?
can a router work perfectly without a power adapter attached ?
I hope someone can still help me can I use to link später also for T-Mobile ?
does it matter what brand the powerline is? i have a netgear router but will it work with the one in your video
222bleach222 Yes
In principal, the method he described in the video works with all PLC dongles and routers.
I use CISCO cable modem (wifi-capable) and Xiaomi Wifi HomePlug Electric Cat, and the setup is the same as his...
Yes it will work
so helpful
my security cameras DVR box requires an Ethernet cable connection to my router (located 50 feet away). Can I use the powerline adapters instead? thanks
Should work perfectly fine. Can't see a reason why it wouldn't work.
how good is wifi on powerline adapter downstairs? same as upstairs or at least close?
I was wondering if I could plug it into a power board or does it have to go start to the wall socket
Doesn't matter
How do I add a second extender? I've been having so much trouble with that!
what if u don't have a wps button
What if you don't have a "wps" button?
excellent
Can he first step be done without the etharnet cable?Just signall
Thanks!
Does the extender cut my ethernet speed?
I think this will save me
Perfect
You should have your own affiliate link. That would be the smart thing instead a link to search results.
This video was amazing, thank you! Does this method still work for one ethernet-enabled device if your wifi is completely turned off?
Yes, they can work separately of each other
Great video but it did not work for my customer, I had him buy a TP link two unit model such as the one in this video.. after more than an hour trying to set-up at a distance with him on the phone I gave-up, it seem that power line models work on the same electrical circuit, but when on a different circuit it may not function, so it got returned to Amazon.
I told my customer to go and buy the Netgear wall plug wifi mesh single extender that was in-stock at his local Staples store. It has worked perfectly, my customer has an IP phone that is far from the router and requires a wired connection. With the WPS setup I was able to guide him over the phone. Really great during Covid as he is 79.

Where do I plug the Ethernet cable into the router? It has many ports I can connect the Ethernet cable to.
Zanyy any one marked Ethernet
John Orm appreciate it
Do you have to connect the receiver to your computer? Or can it work wireless?
I can work wireless.
dont you have to pair them first??
