TP-Link TL-PA4010 KIT AV600 Powerline Starter Kit for Extending Wired Ethernet

The TP-Link TL-PA4010 KIT uses existing electrical wiring to carry a network connection between rooms, helping you add a wired Ethernet point without installing a new network cable through the building.

The kit includes two TL-PA4010 adapters, so you have the minimum pair needed to establish a powerline link. Connect one adapter to your router and the second near the device that needs Ethernet access.

Is This Right for You?

• Suitable when you need a wired network connection in another room and running Ethernet cable is impractical.
• Useful for devices such as desktop computers, TVs, decoders or other equipment with an Ethernet connection.
• It is not a 600Mbps Ethernet adapter: each TL-PA4010 has a 10/100Mbps Ethernet port, while the AV600 figure refers to the theoretical powerline link rate.
• Powerline performance varies according to electrical wiring quality, distance, electrical noise and other installation conditions.

How It Works

Connect one TL-PA4010 adapter to your router with Ethernet and plug it into a wall power outlet. Plug the second adapter into a power outlet near the device you want to connect, then connect that device using Ethernet. The adapters communicate over the building’s existing electrical wiring.

Why Choose This Product?

• No new network cabling: Uses existing electrical wiring to extend Ethernet between suitable rooms.
• Starter kit included: Two adapters are supplied, giving you the pair required to establish a powerline connection.
• Simple installation: Plug-and-play operation requires no normal configuration for basic setup.
• Secure pairing: The Pair button can establish an encrypted powerline connection using 128-bit AES encryption.
• Compact design: Each adapter measures just 65 × 52 × 28.5mm, helping it sit discreetly at a wall socket.
• Lower idle consumption: TP-Link’s power-saving mode can reduce power consumption when the adapters are not actively being used.

Before You Buy

• Powerline adapters must be used in sets of two or more; this starter kit includes two adapters.
• Each adapter provides one 10/100Mbps Ethernet port, so wired Ethernet throughput is limited by the Fast Ethernet interface.
• The advertised 600Mbps figure is the theoretical maximum physical-layer powerline rate and is not a guaranteed internet or Ethernet speed.
• Actual performance depends on electrical wiring, electrical noise, distance, network traffic and other environmental factors.
• TP-Link states compatibility with HomePlug AV and AV2 standard powerline adapters.
