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!!

[chucksturf]

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 :)

[dianebonello]

Succeeded in fixing my TP Link connection. Thank you so much!! :)

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 👍

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.

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.

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

[SonicGintoki]

Thank you so much for the help. I was so confused on setting it up. This video is awesome!

[kerrymcelveny]

Great video.It helped settle an argument with a friend of mine that thinks it can only work with the cable and not wireless

[chucksturf]

Wow what a difference it made to streaming! Thanks again.

This video was great, recently moved and didn’t keep the instructions, very clear and easy to understand, thanks a lot!

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.

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.

[bridgitgilmore]

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?

[duckingtheradar]

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?

[jameslawson]

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.

[MotorSportWallOfShame]

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 🤣

[hichammedarhri]

Seems so easy ! Thanks for sharing.. I just bought it today and I am going to install it within the next two hours ..

[kermitoncoke]

Im quit late but thanks alot it really helped me out!

[gregjurkiewicz]

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
