DOES NOT WORK - ZERO STARS!
Followed instructions which were poor to start with. Installed modem adaptor into modem via etherney cable as per instructions on the same powerline circuit and remote adaptor into power pont in same room on same circuit. Followed instructions to pair the units but could not get a successful internet connection to provide WiFi to any devices. My various device picked up the Tplink but then once connected zero wifi signal was being transmitted. SO AFTER ALL THAT TIME WASTED SETTING THIS UNIT UP IT FAILED AND DOESN'T WORK? I'd like my money back and I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT!

At a glance
The TP-LINK AV1300 kit is a practical way to extend internet access using your home's existing wiring while adding dual-band Wi-Fi and wired Gigabit connections in distant rooms. It suits households, home offices, and renters wanting better coverage without new cabling. Key strengths are easy setup, passthrough convenience, and solid multi-device support. The main limitation is that actual speed depends on your home's electrical wiring quality.
What it’s great for
- Extending Wi-Fi to distant rooms
- Home office connectivity
- Smart TV and console connections
- Reducing dead spots
- Rental-friendly networking
Where it works best
- Large homes
- Multi-room apartments
- Home offices
- Living rooms
- Upstairs bedrooms
Who it’s for
- Remote workers
- Families
- Renters
- Gamers
- Streaming households
Things to consider
While it can deliver stronger coverage than a basic Wi-Fi extender, real-world powerline performance can vary depending on the age, layout, and condition of your home's electrical wiring.
Large home suitability
8/10 - well suited to larger homes because it can send network access through existing wiring to rooms far from the main router.
Ease of setup score
9/10 - plug-and-play setup, pair button support, and one-touch Wi-Fi copying make installation straightforward for most households.
Multi-device compatibility
High - suitable for phones, tablets, laptops, smart TVs, desktop PCs, and gaming consoles via Wi-Fi and Ethernet.
Speed improvement vs category average
7/10 - faster and more versatile than many basic single-band extenders thanks to AV1300 powerline performance, dual-band Wi-Fi, and Gigabit ports.
Rental suitability
9/10 - ideal for renters because it improves coverage without drilling, running new cables, or making permanent changes.
Key benefits
- HomePlug AV2 Powerline: Uses existing electrical wiring to extend network access to rooms where standard Wi-Fi struggles to reach.
- AC1200 Dual-Band Wi-Fi: Supports up to 867 Mbps on 5 GHz and 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz for everyday streaming, browsing, and work devices.
- Passthrough Power Socket: Lets you keep using the wall outlet for another device instead of sacrificing a power point.
- Three Gigabit Ethernet Ports: Provides stable wired connections for devices like smart TVs, desktop PCs, and gaming consoles.
- 2 × 2 MIMO Support: Helps improve connection stability and data transfer performance across the powerline link.
- One-Touch Wi-Fi Configuration: Copies your router's network name and password to simplify setup.
- Wi-Fi Auto-Sync: Applies matching wireless settings across compatible powerline devices for a more consistent network experience.
- Coverage Over Electrical Wiring: Supports network extension over wiring distances of up to 300 m for broader in-home reach.
Q: Does this kit need both adapters on the same electrical circuit
A: Yes. The two powerline units need to be connected to the same electrical circuit to pass network data through your home's wiring. It is plug and play, but speed and stability can vary with the condition and layout of that wiring.
Q: What can stop this powerline Wi-Fi kit working properly
A: The main limit is your home's electrical wiring. TL-WPA8631P KIT can cover up to 300 metres when using the home's wiring, but older, noisy or complex circuits can reduce speed, stability or pairing reliability in some rooms.
Q: Will this work as a mesh system with my router
A: It can, but only with a compatible OneMesh router. TL-WPA8631P KIT can then form a single mesh-style network for roaming around the home. With a non-compatible router, it still extends coverage through powerline and Wi-Fi.
Q: Can it keep the same Wi-Fi name as my current router
A: Yes. A press of the Wi-Fi button can copy your router's network name and password to the extender, so devices do not need a separate login. Unified mesh roaming only applies when it is paired with a compatible OneMesh router.
Q: How many devices can plug into the extender by Ethernet
A: The remote Wi-Fi unit has 3 Gigabit Ethernet ports for wired devices such as a smart TV, desktop or game console. That suits fixed devices that benefit from a steadier connection than Wi-Fi, while phones and tablets can stay wireless.
Q: Does the passthrough socket mean I do not lose a power point
A: Yes. The adapter includes an integrated passthrough power socket, so the wall outlet stays available for another device. That is useful in tight spots like a study or lounge room where spare power points are limited.
