Review: Thought these would be a gimmick. Happy to be proved wrong. - Never used these kinds of devices before, and after some research, I opted for the TP-Link TL-PA8033PKIT AV1300 model. I've been using it now for roughly 2 months, and have been pleasantly surprised by the result. The signal I'm getting, which unfortunately is capped by the adapter well below what you'd expect from Ethernet speeds direct from your router, is more than enough to play YouTube in high definition, and stream content from the likes of Netflix, Disney+, and the Sky Sports web browser app without buffering issues. I like to watch my shows when I do my long runs on the treadmill, and I can do so now without my videos pausing to buffer. Now, why powerline adapters? Because I researched a range of options before arriving at this one. Our house has solid brick walls coupled with layers of insulation, which is a nightmare for Wi-Fi signals. The hope was to get a decent Ethernet connection in a garden shed, and unfortunately, running an Ethernet cable from the house to the shed just wasn't feasible in our case. Too many holes needing to be drilled, through those aforementioned thick stone walls. And whilst our Wi-Fi signal reached the shed, it was patchy at best. Video streaming worked, but the quality was awful; I could barely watch Snooker on the BBC iPlayer, for example, without facing the dreaded spinning buffering wheel every minute or so. That's when I researched these 'powerline' adapters. And I’ll be honest: I thought they’d be a waste of time and money. Glad I was wrong. Mine works, doing all the things they suggest you not do when setting them up. The adapter connects to the main router using a Network Switch, I don't have a baldy notion if the house's electrical wiring causes interference, and the adapter that lives in the shed is plugged into a surge-protected gang socket. Setting them up was as easy as hitting 'Pair'. It hasn’t run hot, its signal hasn’t dipped once; it’s been a solid addition to the shed that has, more-or-less, solved whatever connectivity issues we had before. From this adapter, I'm running three Ethernet cables: a Wi-Fi range extender which has more-or-less fixed the stability issue of Wi-Fi in the shed and also extends our signal across the garden, a mini PC I use to watch my streaming services when I use the treadmill, and an Ethernet-to-USB C cable so I can hard-wire my phone and tablet. The pass-through plug has also been useful, and in it, I’ve got a plug with two USB 3.1A sockets and two USB-C sockets. One of the 3.1A sockets powers the TV’s Chromecast without issue, and the other provides a charging lead for an old phone my brother uses as a camera when he’s playing dart matches online. Now, hindsight is 20/20 as they say. At the time I bought this, the model that comes equipped with a Wi-Fi option was a little more expensive. I should have just gone with it. The Wi-Fi range booster I mentioned further up does the same thing, and ended up costing slightly less, but I should have just opted for the Wi-Fi model. You live and learn.
Review: Better than expected - Review of TP-Link TL-PA8033PKIT. I purchased this powerline kit to use with my new Freely internet based TV located in an upstairs room. Having already tried a wi-fi extender with little success & not wanting the hassle of routing an ethernet cable between floors I decided powerline was the best option. As our house is an early 70's build & still using the original red & black wiring I wasn't sure how well powerline would work, but I'm pleased to say that it works a treat. My connection speeds are exactly the same through powerline as they are when plugged directly into my router & I can now enjoy my Freely TV without any picture freezing or connection dropout. As this version has three ethernet ports I now also have a wired connection for my PC & internet radio in the same room. Speeds will vary depending on the wiring in your home, I was lucky in getting a good result but others may find it doesn't work for them if they have split circuits between floors going to separate consumer units for example. It probably helps that this powerline device uses all 3 wires, Live, Neutral & Earth for its data path, lesser versions only use Live & Neutral, so it's worth the extra spend for this feature alone. My only criticism of this unit would be the location of the three ethernet ports exiting out of the top of the plug, it would have been far neater & more convenient if they'd been located at the bottom, they also get quite warm in use. Because these units are not wi-fi you cannot use the TP-Link Tether app to customise your settings, instead there is a Utility on the TP-Link website that you can download on to your PC which will let you access the device settings, I've only used it to turn off all the LED's on both plugs. Overall a great device that has given me a reliable & more secure wired connection vs wi-fi for my devices.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works, but not quite what it says on the box speed wise!
*by B***T on 11 May 2025*

TP-Link TL-PA9020PKIT Does it work yes, but with big riders or more a case of liar liar pants on fire! In reality you will get nothing like the advertised 2000Mbs even next to each other, although to be fair all the other Powerline type devices suffer from this same problem, must be aspiring politicians! It doesn't work well between different circuits on a mains breaker/fuse box/consumer unit, so if upstairs is on a different ring/circuit, don't expect much. On just the downstairs ring, at furthest socket (25m) was getting up to about 30MBps and over 50Mbps at 10m socket so definitely usable, to the garden shed - no connection! The devices are well made, the only bad point is that the LED lights are on the side, and typically every socket they were plugged in to they couldn't be easily seen (close to corner wall/furniture)- on the front would be a lot more sensible, with an off switch for the LED's. Conclusion: Decided to bite the bullet and actually install wired ethernet, which won't cost much more and is then zero cost (no power consumption). The units are good for what they do, but limited by your mains wiring layout. They are easy to use, it really is plug, press and play. provided the electrical circuits are suitable. Would I buy again? Probably not, better off using wired ethernet which I can, just more work!
