Truly amazing video! I stupidly just followed the instructions and was like "it's not doing anything..." Not realizing it creates a 2nd network that you need to match to your home network. Thank you!!
Fantastic video! Couldn't believe the great results. Followed your step by step instruction to the letter and the rest is history. I now have a strong WiFi signal throughout my entire house! Thanks :)
WOW, I'm really happy it helped you! Let me know if you have any questions or anything. Thank you for watching and please consider liking and subscribing! :)

Still using the AV600 and it works great. If I ever run into any problems, I just reboot it by unplugging it and plugging it back in.

I’ve had this TP link now for nearly two years in my summerhouse at the end of the garden using the same power line from the house and it’s brilliant 👍
Succeeded in fixing my TP Link connection. Thank you so much!! :)
The first time I got this it lasted 5 years and it was the best. It’s time to order another pair this is my go to wifi extender good quality and super easy to set up just had to watch a video again because it’s been a while since I had to set one up
How did you know when to switch or buy a new one? You said it lasted 5 years? I think I had mine for a while, but it’s gotten slower, so I wanted to know
Awesome product.
I set mine up in my garden office which is 15 meters away from the main router in the lounge in my house.
I tried and tested many ways to set up this device. It works best when you plug the small tp link adapter in a mains wall outlet. I plugged the bigger device (wi fi booster) into an extension power strip in my office. It worked but I had much reduced speed, I then switched it over to a wall mains outlet and I was getting almost maximum speeds. I have sky fibre broadband with a maximum speed of 36mb.
I was getting 29 to 31mb on the speed test website and that was using WiFi on my macbook pro. When I switched over to an ethernet cable I was getting 34mb.
A good tip is, don't plug any of the tp link devices into a surge protector strip as it hinders its performance.
Great video.It helped settle an argument with a friend of mine that thinks it can only work with the cable and not wireless
Seems so easy ! Thanks for sharing.. I just bought it today and I am going to install it within the next two hours ..
This video was great, recently moved and didn’t keep the instructions, very clear and easy to understand, thanks a lot!
Thank you so much for the help. I was so confused on setting it up. This video is awesome!
This is very useful as my internet is shit because I use playstation now very frequently and it lags a lot when I play games on it, and this device revolutionized my internet.
So it helped ALOT or just a bit
Do u play call of duty? I wanted to know how hit detection is when wired into the adapter to the PS4
James Lawson Ik this is almost a year later but does this change the NAT type on PlayStation
Isaiah11p for me it didn’t change it but it was working fine at first while gamin then it started laggin now that could be because of the apartment I’m in idk
If you are happy at 20Mbps (or much less), this is it. It works better for single phase than 3-phase elect system. My similar tp link kit (non gigabit Ethernet ports) delivered 70Mbps up and 25 down (paired just next to each other) for having 300 up and 50 down subscription. My best speed became 5 up and 7 down after tested for 10 elect power supply point (3-phase). Better than nothing at far locations, 2-floor house 330 m².
@@NUTZJ98 yes, u r right. Better speed at same phase, but at designated locations, don't have choices unless rewiring at main jb, but not preferred. Now using Huawei ax3 wifi6 as main router, Ethernet connection with old Asus ac87 as ap, so far so good. Going to buy new design Huawei ax6 wifi6+ router when available. Thanks for your good feedback 👍🍻
Worked fine for me. Inside my home im gettin 420mbs on my virgin media hub which is in my sitting room. My steel garden shed is 50ft from the back of my house. I plugged in my reciever in socket in shed and im gettin 72mbs. The wifi signal is 40mbs outside the steel shed to at least 10ft away. Perfect for wifi cctv or google hub in back garden. Really happy with this.
Wow what a difference it made to streaming! Thanks again.
yo bro does this lower things like ping
@@ciarankennedy7981 did you end up getting it? im wondering the same thing
Been pulling my hair out trying to sort it out then saw this and was fixed within seconds, didn't even realise it provided wifi aswell had them the wrong was around this whole time... Thank you!!!!!
Wow. Thank you so much for the detailed tutorial ❤️
Honestly mate I was moments away from doing something I regret thanks for this vid just saved me lots of money on a new TV 🤣
After a bit of management i got everything to work out right and thanks for the information cause it helped me cause couldn't find any newer video on how to set it up.
Glad to hear that! Hope you enjoy it. How did it do with the Wifi bind spot? Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you for watching and please consider subscribing :)
I can't fond the other movie in frensh language can you help me?!
I have a question does the internet box have to be in the same room as the tp-link
@@urielbarrientos9447 no that's why it's a WiFi *extender*
Thank you very much for posting such clear instructions. I understood everything you said and followed to the tee. It worked a treat.
Easy and very Quick setup.
I always suggest this type of equipment to my customers.
Ok boomer
Thank you so much, a video with clear and concise instructions to set up tp-link myself.
I tried plugging it the other way round and it works better than plugging the small plug in the WiFi router :)
What do you mean? You used the receiver for the wifi router and the other one for your devices?
You don’t have to plug them in the same outlet or power strip to sync them. I plugged mine where they’re supposed to go, one upstairs and one downstairs, as long as you hit pair within 2 minutes. Only thing I don’t like is it only has 2.4G for WiFi.
I think he was just demonstrating.
I think your powerline walks in the same direction mate😂
@@NUTZJ98 Don’t get me wrong, I loved this device when I was using it. What I’m trying to say, to let everybody know, as a WiFi extender it only has 2.4GHz. I agree to a point, yes 5GHz has crappy signal range, but it’s a faster connection. I game and was lagging often, even disconnecting sometimes. That’s why I bought this in the first place, to alleviate my connection issue. But now I moved to a house where it’s more open, and to my surprise my 5GHz is noticeably faster than using this.
@@chunkysnail9351 perhaps he’s just doing a demo, but the information I put out is for the mass. Someone who don’t know how to set it up might follow his motions step by step, which is not wrong, but it’s an unnecessary step.
@@recgraph My apologies, I don’t get what you mean by this comment. Anyway, to those who may have misinterpreted my initial post, this is a good product, I actually bought one because of this video, but I don’t recommend it for gamers, my 5GHz WiFi has faster connection compare to this even when I was using this hard wire connected. If you’re going to use it as a WiFi extender don’t be disappointed that it only has 2.4GHz WiFi frequency. If you don’t need a WiFi extender and want to stay with the same brand, I can’t say I can recommend it because I haven’t bought one, but the AV1000 has dropped in prices and it connects up to 1G connection.
Im quit late but thanks alot it really helped me out!
Glad it helped you!
You are definitely the best,Thanks!
Great video! I've been trying to sort this for a long time and your video was definitely the best! Greatly appreciated!
Without this video I would have been stuck at 3mbps, thank you 🙌🙌
What are you at now?
@@kaizer8341 2mbps
@@xscarlord30yearsago25 😂
Thank you, that was very helpful. I currently run a 10 meter wire down the stairs to the router, it really annoys everyone in the house, so I think I will go for this device! :D
Yes, this should help you! Good luck
I highly advise it. I just got mine today and it's so convenient. I usually get between 10-20mbps (sometimes annoyingly 1mpbs) speeds on wireless from the router to my home office, but with direct power line connection I'm getting full 98mpbs speeds. And as a bonus I can connect my work computer, my personal computer and still have WiFi all from the same extender! No more slow or disconnected ZOOM conference calls!
@@goldmankwezi im thinking of getting this for my gaming pc would you recomend?
@@ZANEK0 Yes
Great little device. I've been very happy with mine.
Thank you so much, your video is super helpful! ❤️
Good video, thank you very much! Two points you could add:
1. clone WiFi settings using the clone button (instead of manually in the browser).
2. why the TP-Link adapter is needed.
Thank you so so much - very clear instructions given by you and wow all good with my home office. Again, thank you soooooooo much!!!! 🙂
You're very welcome! Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you for watching and please consider liking and subscribing! :)
Great review, I'm pretty sure you can just hit the Wifi Button on the device then hit your WPS key on your router and it clones all your router settings on there (rather than manually doing it like you did- but good to know how to do it, just in case that doesn't work)
My router doesn't have a WPS button and wouldn't auto connect when I pushed the WiFi button, so I had to do it manually as well... In case anyone else has the same issue
Thank You, Easy understanding instructions!
Great video, sold it to me! You need to be on commission!
100% agree
This is so helpful thank you!
Changing the name and password to match is so good too!
Thanks again
Great video. 2nd time using it as had to move house. Thanks!
omg thank you so much
Very nice pres. I will use these in a detached garage where there is no wifi signal from my router. With today's tech in these devices, I think placement in both places will not be an issue to get a good solid connection.
Thank you for the guide, very helpful.
Very helpful, thank you so much!
Great video. Worked for me in 3 minutes. Thanks!
My house's walls are T H I C C. This is a game changer
@Porter Justin goof for you i guess
Thank you. Very useful video.
Great vid. I don’t see the TP link network on my devices though. Gonna have a go at setting it up again. Cheers
Hey did you find a solution I still need some help
Very informative! I do have a question, is it possible to set up a second power line unit in a home? Could I add a second receiver, or would I need two complete separate units? I have dead spots on both sides of my home with the router far away in the middle, like a triangle.
U save me dude. Thank you so much.
I coudn't make in any way make the repeater link with my WiFi so that they had the same name and pasword.
I'm really glad you found it helpful. Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you for watching and please consider liking and subscribing! :)
@@GaugingGadgets Of course done😁
On another YT video it says that if you clone your network on the extender, as long as your target device can find the existing WiFi, it will select that over the extended WiFi unlike a mesh that chooses the closest stronger extended signal. So, by not cloning your network, you can manually choose which network to connect to and avoid this problem. Also you don't address if the power sockets are from different power groups.
Thank you very much for the helpful video. By the way, I would like to ask the function of the reset button of the receiver.
Using these instructions I set up my TP LINK yesterday and it works great. Tried to set up the 2nd one and the lights on the larger unit won't stop blinking and make a connection. Any insights? Or is the unit buggered?
Great video! Thanks, I got mine set up in no time
Thank you, This got my gaming PC connected to Ethernet!
Is it good?
Is it good
I use the model in the video for my PS4 Pro and my gaming PC as it has 2 ethernet ports which is all I need. It works amazingly. Before on my 5GHz bandwidth WIFI I would get speed of 10mb down and 5mb up with unpredictable latency. Now I get a solid 40mb down and 10mb up with very good latency. It also gives 2.4GHz bandwidth WIFI which is nice for my devices without ethernet ports. I definitely recommend this model.
@@thermite218 do the adapters work with any router or has to be specific brand?
@@was4wa I'm pretty sure they work with any router. Check the TP-Link website as well for the model you want.
It does what any modem was expected to do, but it does not. 👍🏼
Thank you so much - really helpful video :-)
This was very handy - the instructions for getting to, and what to do at, tplinkplc.net were great. Thank you!
This worked great thanks
Great video thank you very much
Thank you soo much you have no idea how much you have helped me
Question. So when he said plug it into the back of the router. He means just one of the open ports right not the main port that supposed to go to the modem so that the routers Wi-Fi can work. Because if I take it out then the Wi-Fi will not work and also if I already have WiFi then do I have to use the TP-Links adapter Wi-Fi?
@@doedoebird6614 you have to plug in the tp link adapter to one of the LAN ports on the back of your WiFi router
@@doedoebird6614 using tp links wifi adapter just makes the connection stronger in a room that you want it to be connected to
IIArthII gotcha thanks a ton 😇
OK, so to answer a common question. In my situation, I needed wifi signal in a detached garage behind my house. I paired the device like in the video, but now I have the base getting internet through a switch and plugged directly into a wall outlet. The wifi receiver is in the detached garage also plugged directly into a wall outlet. These are on different breakers, but it works well enough to stream youtube videos/music to my ipad, which is what I needed it for. Speedtest is showing 3.5 meg download and 6 meg upload. This is about 1/4 of what it was showing from when they were on the same circuit and plugged directly into the router. Hope this helps someone in a similar situation.
Hi Buddy, thank you for informative tutorial. I have a question, can you pair up two av600 devices within one home network ? I'd like one pt the top floor of my house and second down in the garage , I think its called meshing but I struggle to get it to work . Thanks in advance
Great review!
Thank you so much! This was very helpful as I changed WiFi and didn't remember the process! The problem we have is that sometimes the extension disappears completely and we cannot find it in our WiFi options.. even though we are just in the next room! Any ideas as to why that it? Tia
Is that because of the Dynamic Frequency Selection? (DFS is an auto-on function that cannot be enabled on Web GUI) I'm not sure but maybe your front-end router was using a DFS channel that your Range Extender does not support and if that's the case you may re-select a channel that is among U-NII-1(36/40/44/48..)
I’m worried about how my devices will know which access point to connect to (assuming I name them the same). I want the devices to connect to whichever is closest (has the strongest signal). I don’t want a device on one end of the house mistakenly connecting to the adapter on the other end of the house while the actual router is closer. Can this be prevented? Does it happen?
very useful video. thanks
Like your video. I think I’m gonna get this for my garage/Man Cave area. I will be using this for my fire stick connected to the TV. Will the AV 600 work fine with streaming services? I will also need the fire stick Ethernet adapter. Correct? Great explanation on this device.
It will work brilliantly. I just recently purchased these for my garden office which is around 20 metres from the main router in my house. I was able to stream videos in high quality on my firestick perfectly.
Thanks allot i use the easy instill with out press paring put is working not sure any diffrent if i press paring for both power line
Kind Regards
Like the video and plan on buying this product. Does it matter if the devices are on different circuits in my house?
thanks man
So if I’m in a shared house and I change the name of the extender so it replicates that of the main router everyone else will be able to use it right
Yes, as long as it has the exact same name and password. Capitalization matters as well. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you for watching and please consider liking and subscribing!
@@GaugingGadgets hi does that mean that you can access a network storage device and other things on the network on the original main network through the powerline? Or would you need to disconnect from the new powerline network and reconnect to access, say, movies saved on a NAS on the original main network?
@@chrisroebuck2321 Its still the same network regardless so you would find it because its all on the same Subnet/IP range provided from the router. Short answer yes it will work.
Can I turn my main WiFi off and use the AV600 WiFi instead for localized access, for example in a bedroom? I realize that the AV600 extender would not cover much more than that, but I do not need more for the use case I have in mind. Thanks!
Does this work with dual band routers with 2.4g and 5g?
well, this was a nice and a very helpful video, but i have to ask. do they lose pair some times or you don't have a problem with this? how stable they are? thank you in advance
Thanks. Life saver 💓
Thanks for the demo. I did pair and then when moved the receiver to dead spot and plug to power, the home icon button did not turn on and sure enough wireless internet not connected. Is the problem in home electricity wiring? Thought? Thanks much.
You might have different power groups each with a fuse
So I can just plug it straight into my PC with out needing a dongle?
Important to do like he says and change the wifi name and password to exactly the same as your original network. That way your devise think its all 1 network and you dont have to swap everytime you move around.
You need 2 cables so you can hardwire your computer,tablet to the ethernet in another room, the whole point of this. Thanks for the video
excellent video
Can you attach a wifi router on the remote end to get wifi?
Great review but for anyone buying this it works excellent on wifi with no issues but if your using this for direct wired connection hoping for fast speeds especially if you have gigabit broadband the ethernet ports on the receiver end are only 10/100 meaning they are capped at 100Mbps not 600Mbps as stated on the box. Sorry to burst anyones bubble
so if i have 50 mbps speed how much it will be if i use ethernet cable for my pc? because when my laptop is directly wired connected to the router the speed is great, but when it’s wifi it can be just 500kb/sec. idk what to do because my pc is in the room without router and i’d like somehow to have ethernet connection to it
Fantastic video 👏
I have a question I haven't seen answered anywhere else. Can the two units be plugged into any two outlets on the same circuit, or do they also have to be on the same breaker? The room in my place with the cable outlet and internet equipment is on a different breaker than the room that needs a signal boost.
Thx good help
Thanks for a clear concise video, and thank you for NO music.
You're very welcome! Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you for watching and please consider liking and subscribing! :)
This works well but if you have it on a different circuit protected by a different RCD you do get reduced speed.
I am now using a Wi-Fi Mesh system which of course bypasses this problem. 130MB constant now.
I was thinking about getting one of these because I have the old PlayStation and I have to use WiFi because I don’t want to run an Ethernet cord through the hallway to my room and the older ps4 don’t support 5ghz WiFi and I want to get as close to 200mbps that I can by getting this and being able to have a wired connection
thank you so much
Can you use the wifi extender on one device while it is plugged into another device with a ethernet cable?
Yes, probably, but why would you? If the device is close enough to the extender to be plugged in, it is close enough to receive its WiFi signal.
@@jadesmith8106 Not if it's in one kids room and the other kid wants to connect to it via WiFi on his or her device.
Great tutorial but I have a question. Someone advised me to use this in my customers houses to connect their solar inverters to the household wifi because when they change their router as long as the master end was plugged back into the new router the solar inverter would auto connect to the router, no need to edit the AV 600 to the new router (I would have the receiver end hard wired aswell)
Thanks man, like :D
Oh, for me, it occasionally works. I have three of them, but they often lose connection, and I can't figure out how to set them up correctly. It seems easy when you do it, but I've tried everything. It's so frustrating! They used to function so well.
I have a question the second PLC works as a wifi router can I connec it directly to it or i have to have a second wifi router in the case that i want another wifi router in other place of the house
IMPORTANT QUESTION: Does this device support Power over Ethernet (PoE) to smaller devices such as surveillance cameras? Usually you have to buy a switch to convert ethernet in PoE, and I am wondering if I can use this instead?
So will this make the coverage and speed better? Or will it not matter as much as it’s wired? Also, we have Sky Q in the UK and the Sky Q Box for TV gets connected to the Sky router using the router’s only Ethernet port. What happens then? How do you connect?
Hey interesting video man, thanks for the info. Do u know if i can put more than one extender to the same Powerline base?
Yeah
Did you find out I've been trying for so long
I have know idea who those 57 people are ... but I'm a complete novice when it comes to Wifi tech. I had my wifi set up in 20 mins.
Can you help me cause I bought the starter kit ethernet only version a few months ago and it worked for good but a few days ago it stopped working and on my switch it says failed to obtain ip adress but it works when connected to router any help plz
So just to confirm after you done the setup can you move it to the area and it will work fine?
I'm wondering which power lines these extenders use? Here in the Philippines most houses don't have an earth, and the two power lines are both live off the 220V supply (ie unlike UK with its 415 and neutral) with double pole breakers in the consumer unit. Will they still work?
So for this product if you put the receiver in ur dead spot it’ll get just as good internet as you would near the internet box?
I have this unit which I use to run WiFi to my garden shed, works great but recently I've noticed that it loses signal most evenings? Perfect during the day. Any clue what could be causing it? It's not that there are many people in my home during the evening using WiFi either which may drain it? Thanks
