You've got a gigabit connection at the modem but it halves every time it hits a wall. The office needs wired speed for the NAS and the laptop needs Wi-Fi that doesn't stutter on a video call.
The TP-Link TL-WPA8631PKIT does both in one plug. HomePlug AV2 pushes up to 1300Mbps over your existing wiring. AC1200 dual-band Wi-Fi extends 867Mbps on 5GHz and 300Mbps on 2.4GHz at the far end. Three Gigabit Ethernet ports handle the desktop, the TV, the console.
OneMesh support means if you've got a compatible TP-Link router, this drops into your mesh and roams with it. The passthrough power socket keeps your charger plugged in — no hunting for a second outlet. One-Touch Wi-Fi button copies your network settings across the whole powerline link.
2x2 MU-MIMO maintains multiple simultaneous connections for stability under load. Wi-Fi Auto-Sync means adding another extender later just takes one pair-button press and all settings follow.
Kit includes TL-WPA8631P and TL-PA8010P units. AU plug. Up to 300 metres over existing electrical wiring.
Add to cart. Plug in both ends. Gigabit where you need it, Wi-Fi where you want it
