It has been working continuously since the day of purchase. It has been installed in two different apartments and I have not encountered any problems. In both sockets, it is mounted on the wall and I have placed a power strip on it. The losses are negligible.
No disconnections, no signal loss!
I have connected a laptop, a nova box, and a smart TV, and they all work perfectly even when two other devices are connected to the WiFi! It's worth the money
I have had them for a week and they are working excellently so far. First, I tried them in various outlets at home and found one with the best speed that reaches 650-800Mbps. The worst outlet reached about 300Mbps. To check the speed on these models, you need to download the tpPLC software on a PC since they do not have WIFI. In the WIFI models, there is also a smartphone app from Tp-link.
Generally good, the speeds mentioned only apply under ideal conditions such as: New building wiring, as few interruptions and interferences as possible like sockets, splitters, circuit breakers, etc. In a 25-year-old building, with a power cable distance of about 25m, intermediate interferences from 3 sockets, 2 splitters, and one circuit breaker, the loss approaches 50%.
Very good build quality, easy installation and almost instant connection, no interruptions were observed, BUT there is a problem.
The history:
I had Cosmote 50 Mbps, upgraded to 100 Mbps and due to the use of the standard infrastructure of the installation, I had the router in the computer room and used a Wi-Fi repeater to send the signal to the living room where the TV was.
I upgraded to Cosmote 100 Fiber. The router had to be placed in the hallway, where the optical fiber from the provider ends. In order to reach the rooms, especially the one with the computer where I worked, I used an existing TR-Link TL-4010P/500Mbps kit.
Disappointment, the speed was 20 maximum 30 Mbps.
I was advised to switch to a larger one and I got the TpLink TL-PA7027P/1000 Mbps.
Improvement, it went up to 55 maximum 60 Mbps, disappointment again.
Due to an offer, the connection was upgraded to Cosmote Fiber-VDSL 300 Mbps.
Significant improvement, speeds increased to 95/98 maximum 105 Mbps. (remember the number).
I started searching, and after experiencing it, I learned the following.
The speeds mentioned on the powerline boxes are "gross bandwidth", meaning the maximum possible range provided by the device BUT NOT THE ACTUAL, which unfortunately is 30-40% of the maximum possible.
I realized this by downloading the TP Link application and it showed that the communication between the TL-PA7027P pair (room with hallway) was at 360-385 Mbps, exactly as expected for the actual (1000 X 30-40% =~300-400 Mbps!!). The reason is the decrease due to building wiring, connectors, panel, fuses, as well as when during transmission a packet is "lost", it sends back a reverse signal to be retransmitted, the one powerline retransmits it but all these "cut" the nominal transmission speed.
And here is the secret >>> The SAME percentage applies to the bandwidth of the connection line, meaning for every 100 Mbps connection, we will get 30-40% which is 30-40 Mbps.
And here is where the numbers I mentioned earlier come in: For the TP-PA7027P/1000 Mbps pair, the 30-40% on a 300 Mbps line (Cosmote Fiber-VDSL) are expected to pass 90 maximum 120 Mbps, which is why my speed test gives me 98-105 Mbps (32.6-35.0%).
Technically PERFECT, but in reality, based on what I expected - before I learned - and how much it cost, it falls 1 step short of disappointment.
By the way, connecting the PC with a 20-meter Cat5-UTP cable directly to the router, oh the miracle, I had 298-299 Mbps with a nominal 300 Mbps !!!
Therefore, if we don't have any other means of connection (Cat6 cable/visible channel, or Fiber inside the house), unfortunately, higher speeds cannot be achieved using power line.
They worked correctly for a week, but after that, things became tragic. After hours of use, the disconnections are constant. I have downloaded the software and manage the powerlines from there, and I have tried everything: different profiles, disabling the power saving mode... but nothing works. The firmware is up to date. The connection is set up correctly, with the powerline plugged into the wall first and then the other sockets. It's worth mentioning that I bought a 2+2 set and they all have the same issue, so it's not isolated. Some older tp link models work as they should, although with a greater loss in speed. When they worked correctly for a week, I had 95% of my speed, but what can you do... It's a shame.
Plug & Play. It can't get any simpler. I had 2 and added another 2. Everything runs at the ideal speed, without losses, without visible cables, and without issues. I followed the advice from here and plugged them directly into the socket and then into the power strip, etc. No problems. VFM
I got them to add them to 2 existing TL-PA4020P (500 Mbps). They connected and played flawlessly.
WARNING!!! If you connect them to lower speed devices like in my case, they will operate at the lower speed (similar to using memories with different frequencies). Tell me why would you do that and lose speed? Surprisingly, on 13/4/2022 when I bought them, the 1000 Mbps ones were cheaper than the 500 Mbps ones.
Product feature TP-Link: Extremely easy to install, very stable in operation without disconnections or interruptions in data transmission, even with heavy data loads on both Ethernet ports. After hours of active operation, it warms up, but not excessively worrying.
In a 200 Mbps fiber optic network, it supports stable data transmission of 170-180 Mbps with almost zero dropped packages.
Particularly useful for those who, due to mesh installation or network security reasons (or corporate ISO standards), want to avoid additional WiFi access points/repeaters.
I have only tested it with one pair in the same network in a single-phase installation.
Recommended for SOHO installations and small businesses.
My speed seems the same, now it may lose 2-3 mbps on a 100 Mbps line. Slowly...
I have it on a different floor, ground floor and 1st.
One observation, besides the fact that it should be plugged directly into the socket, it should also be in the first socket of the room. There are significant differences in speed, from 5 mbps to 90 in the same room. So, experiment a little to find out which socket is the best, for me it was the closest to the room doors.
From the app that you can find on the manufacturer's website, you will be able to disable the power saving feature, which can often cause a decrease in speed.
I never expected that a powerline would reach speeds as high as a 20-meter cable!
Plug and play, in 1 minute connect up to 2 devices in another room/area/office.
Note that, from what I have noticed, it always provides better speeds when the powerline is plugged directly into the wall socket and not on a power strip. If you need to use a power strip, plug it into the powerline and the powerline into the wall socket.
Actual speed is approximately 250/300Mbps. The test was conducted by transferring 5 files with a total size of 20GB in order to avoid being affected by the Windows cache or something similar.
Also, for some mysterious reason, 3 different shuko sockets in the same room have significant speed differences, ranging from 100mbps to 380mbps according to the tplink utility. (The building is from the 80s but has a new electrical panel, new copper cables, grounding in all sockets, etc.)
Before, with AC WiFi, I had 10-12mbps and now with powerline, I have 25-30mbps. Well done, tplink!
They immediately connected with two more TP-Link 7010 that I have. No problem. Clearly, it is preferable to give the slightly extra money they cost compared to the 7017 since they provide two ports instead of one. I hope they will withstand over time and not burn out. Time will tell.
Simple, fast installation, without much hassle. In fact, its "partner" recognized it immediately. And I say its "partner" because I connected two older ones (PA4020) to its "network" and they also connected within a minute. I don't see any loss in speed - on a 100 Mbps connection, I measure 94 Mbps with a direct connection to the router, and 93 Mbps through the PLC. I haven't experienced any disconnections so far. Direct connection to the socket is necessary, of course!
An important - I think - detail: both have 2 Ethernet cable connection ports.
If I notice anything different, I will come back.
