PG2400PKIT Wired Passthrough G.hn 2400 Powerline Adapter, Faster G.hn Technology, Powerline Network Adapters with 2+2 Gigabit Ethernet Ports, No Configuration Required, Plug and Play,Pack of 2

** UPDATE ** My latest update after a month of use didn't alter my rating, but I have seen some other buyers experienced sudden drop out signals and I did indeed experience that too myself. Upon some researches, I found out that you need to check and update the firmware of the units. This can only be done via the utility software that you need to download from TP LINK website. This is frustrating as the packaging did nothing to mention this nor has an instruction to show how to update firmware. Yes, it's plug and play but I knew that these day an age, all 'connected' device would have the ability to enhance and repair any software faults. This is totally the case. My unit came with the original firmware 1.0 and the latest is 1.0.2 (two version up since its launch late 2022). Apparently they have fixed some problems and to be frank, I've in day three after updating, and there's no drop outs. So far, it's very consistent and the speed is as fast as before. So, before returning the units, check this first. ** At time of writing this review (Feb 2023), this is TP-Link's one and only G.hn Powerline network adapter. There are other brands out there but since I owned and used the previous and older generation TP-Lnk HomePlug AV 1000, I thought I should stick with the brand as it never gave me problem in terms of reliability. For those who haven't had much experience or knowledge about power line network adapter, it's pretty cool if you want to reach to dead spots around your house that even the latest Wifi network can't penetrate (i.e. thick brick walls or even out house or garage), as it's using the power line as if they are network cables. The problem I had with the original AV1000 was speed. While it worked, the speed is at best under 30mbs, and I have a 500mbs fibre broadband (and I do get 480 in the house wired). So that's less than 10% of the speed. I won't expect full speed anyway as my own MESH network can't reach near that inside the house. But having read about the newer standard G.hn (that also replaces HomePlug AV technologies, which they also declare that the old standards will be obsolete and won't be updated as of last year!), so I took the plunge and went with the new PG2400 model instead of the other faster TP-Link HomePlug AV2, since it's reaching the end of life by the sound of it. To my surprise, the speed is almost triple (see speed test in my pictures). Now, I can run livestreams in my office outside of my house, even though it's only 80mbs up and down, but it's more than sufficient for any high quality streams and remote work, as there's only one computer and one smartphone in my small office, unlike my main house, where there are more wireless devices connected at any one time. So this is awesome and well worth upgrade. Despite TP-Link didn't mentioned anything, I believe this is Wave 2 and not the original Wave 1 that has a speed limit of 1200mbs, this has a max theoretical 1500mbs (Wave 2 can go unto 2500!). Anyway, this is an awesome product and save me time to lay network cables (may be faster but a lot of work needed to route the cable from my router, around the house and to my office, on top of all the networking needs to be done in the office!). This is a plug and play solution and that extra power outlet allows me to plug other things on top too! Great stuff.

Truly great product here. Effortless set-up, minimal but protective packaging. QR-code accessible set-up guide, as well as a physical leaflet insert. All leads included, no laborious set-up required. I would recommend having a longer ethernet cable if you intend to have the TP Link plugged in away from your PC, but otherwise you’re good to go!

Due to very dense brickwork I have one of these so I can get a signal in the other half of the house . TPLink has IMO the best software for these mains ethernet adapters with a utility that allows you to see which units are connected, what speed they are running and even reset them from the PC, this is handy because I have cronky old wiring and they occasionally freeze up. You do have to enter the password for each device to allow this so make a note of these before you plug them in the other end of the house. The passwords are only maintained on your PC so if you want to do it from anothe rdevice then you have to enter them all over again or be clever and work out where they are stored on the PC. The utility crashes every time it closes but does no harm so it's just an irritation. The unit is easy to pair with other units just by pushing a button at each end and the link is then encrypted but as far as I can tell if you set them up like that you can't reset them from the utility so I follow the instructions to remove them from any network and then just plug them in with the default network name set and they all seem to pick each other up, this also allows me to mix them with othe manufacturer's adapters. The wifi is not noticeably faster than the AV200 mpbs TPLink version I had before, but then Wireless N only goes up to 300 mbps anyway. The utility shows it running at about 175 even though one end is on an extension. The two wired connections are useful for TV and media box where you do notice a faster speed. There's a separate utility specific to this device to find it on the network and an on-board website so you can set the IP address , Wifi encryption channel etc. from your browser. I use a different name (SSID) from the main router's network because I like to know which one I am connected to, especially because windows is too stupid to connect to the best signal. A good tip is to make sure that the signal channel band on this and your main router are as far apart as possible e.g. set your router channel to 1 and this unit to 11 or 13 if you can, otherwise the signals interfere and you get lesser performance. If you are really keen get a copy of inSSIDer home and check that you are not clashing with a neighbour's wifi as well

Nothing short of excellent. Vast improvement over previous AV600 power line setup. Vastly improved Ethernet connectivity to garage specifically for 8k CCTV use. G.hn technology provides a stable, low latency circuit ideal for intended use. Saved time and effort to run external Cat6 cable.

After upgrading to the latest BT Superfast Fibre Broadband in my home (Single Story Bungalow), I still could not get acceptable coverage in the most important room in the house. My Games Room/Office. It's 19 metres from the main building with about 1.5 metre gap between it and the house and several solid brick walls. Total 25 metres from the main router which is located as far away as possible. The technician that installed it insisted that it was so fantastic that if there was a weak spot that he would leave me three repeaters to boost it. I'm no computer expert but if you try and install the repeaters in a link (3) number 3 ends up with barely more than you have without it. I absolutely did not want to run anymore wires! I phoned BT for technical advice luckily spoke to 'The Guy' that clearly knows what he's talking about. He said that BT doesn't sell anything like that but Amazon does. So, I researched the customer reviews and the only couple of problems (not for me) that customers might have with this setup is that you can't by an an additional extender without buying the full kit which could make this setup very pricey. However, my setup works far better than I imagined. I can't speak for how it might work in a multi story building but in my house (the two units are separated by 25 metres and a lot of masonry and there is ZERO degredation at the farthest end. Super Fast & Reliable. I highly recommend this setup!

I bought these items with one regret, the awful design. Why oh why have they gone from bottom entry Ethernet cable to top entry and a power through socket as the only option. It makes for a very clumsy top heavy unit that just can't wait to move out of the mains socket. The supposed rational being that most? people are using this behind a desk just does not make any sense to me. How difficult is it to loop a cable to floor and the up to the unit? I have a PC, router, and Printer on a desk, the ethernet cables go down to the floor then up to the router, how difficult is that. Now I have 2x PG2400P with Ethernet cables going up the wall to a cable tie stuck to the wall then down to the floor. Ridiculous badly though out design, it would be excusable is there was an alternative version. I do not have a shortage of power sockets, adding an extra plug to an already top heavy device makes no sense. Unfortunately this is the only option if you want the fastest Powerline adapter. The fastest with bottom entry and no power pass through is AV1000. I've knocked off 1x * for this. So having no alternative I bought them with reservations. The units are very ease to pair, there is a button on the left side, press for 1 second, then repeat on the other unit within 2 minutes. I like this time window, other units I've had gave a much shorter window, I can easily get up to the remote unit in 2x minutes. From my downstairs study to the upstairs computer room I get just over 200mbps which I wasn't overjoyed with but.. That is twice as fast as my broadband connection and the upstairs machines can all pull the full speed. In the upstairs room I have a wireless access point with a 100mbps 5 port switch (soon to be replaced). The Wi-F fills in a blank spot in the house and is for TV in another bedroom, laptops and mobile phone. I also have a wired connection to my shed where another laptop lives. In anticipation of these PG2400Ps I have a 4 port gigabit switch to which I connected 2x PCs and the outside cable. I connected the WiFi AP to the 2nd of the PG2400P's ports The downloadable TP-link app shows the actual through put of the 2x devices. When I checked it showed that I was getting 100mbps and it was operating at 100BASE-T!!! The only device at 100Base-T was the AP so I removed it and plugged it in to the Gigabyte switch. I then got about 212mbps and it was showing as operating at 1000base-T Why my inexpensive 4 port switch can cope with a mix of base-ts and the PG2400P can't isn't impressive. Unless you can put a gigabyte switch in the way, any 100base-t device will pull the whole Powerline link down to 100mbps!!! That plus the units get very warm knocks off another star. I wasn't overjoyed with 212mbps but it isn't the units, I placed the receiver unit in the next room presumably on the same cable run and it indicated an impressive 750mbps. So 3* may seem a bit harsh but I really don't like these PG2400Ps and if there had been a bottom entry without pass through option I would have bought them instead. I did consider returning these PG2400Ps and getting AV1000 but the price difference between them isn't that big and in the right setting they were able to operate at 750mbps. So far, just a few days, they have performed very well.

Great speed boost. I got this to replace an old 120Mbps Tplink and it has been a great choice. The through flow of data has been boosted to match my fibre speeds. set up was easy enough but the two minute window to pair the devices could have been a bit longer to allow getting access to the units. All in all I highly recommend the Tplink passthrough system as a very reliable kit that really gives the speed that it offers.

This is an excellent product, although the set-up certainly wasn't easy plug-and-play for me. In fact, I wasn't expecting it to be straightforward because I had previous experience of installing TP-Link 211 and 281 systems. The 4220 set-up process turned out to be another hit-and-miss affair - it took several hours and repeated attempts until it eventually started working, for no apparent reason. I don't know whether these difficulties can be blamed on the wiring in my house (1970s detached) or my inability to make sense of the totally inadequate and confusing instructions - possibly both. The cloning feature, which is a huge step forward when working, actually makes the installation more complicated if it doesn't work first time. Since the instructions are very vague on the proper sequence to be followed and they do not acknowledge the possibility that either the cloning or the pairing may not work first time around, users like me have to keep trying with little guidance on how to deal with unexpected scenarios. For this reason I can't provide a simple step-by-step guide like some other reviewers, but I can highlight a few questions which arose during the set-up process, together with my observations. This may be helpful to new customers. 1. WHERE IS THE CLONING BUTTON ON THE EXTENDER UNIT? (It's an almost invisible recessed switch on the LED strip). 2. HOW DO YOU KNOW IF CLONING HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL? (The flickering array of LEDs is not at all helpful. The main indicator of success is that the TP-Link network ID no longer appears on your iPad or other tablet. However, you still don't know for sure that the extender is now transmitting a cloned version of your main broadband. The only way to check is to move the extender and iPad out of range of the router network). 3. WHAT ABOUT ENCRYPTION? (Despite the reference on the box to "One Button Encryption" there is no encryption button on the devices, or guidance notes. More knowledgable users will realise that encryption is accomplished through the WPS cloning process. However, some may assume from the list of MAC numbers and passwords in tiny print on the devices that some sort of password-protected set-up is required). 4. DO YOU NEED TO USE THE RESOURCE CD OR THE PASSWORDS FOR NORMAL SET-UP? (Not if you have a WPS button on your router. You can set up the adapter base unit and two extenders without getting into unnecessary complications). The good news is that when the 4220 kit is up and working it is first-class. BBC iPlayer or Skygo can be streamed to multiple devices from a seamless network. The system is also much less prone to random loss of Internet connection, as experienced with the previous 281 model. A pity about the instructions.

attention prises anglaises

Para la play 4 funciona perfecto, no se corta con cable, y de repetidor wifi de sobra para el móvil y tablet

Not as powerfull as expected for the price and is bulky

fonctionne, mais je n'arrive pas a "étendre " le WIFI existant. Il y a donc un deuxieme réseau avec ses propres caractéristiques

Works as it should and paired straight away with my current TP link.
