1. Get to Know About Your Powerline Device

This chapter introduces what the Powerline Wi-Fi device can do and shows its appearance.

1.1  Product Overview

The Powerline Wi-Fi TKit is a combined wired/wireless network expansion device, including a powerline adapter and two powerline extenders. With the help of your home’s existing electrical circuitry, it can extend your Wi-Fi to wherever you want in your house. Ethernet ports and built-in antennas enable the powerline Wi-Fi extender to provide wired and wireless access for multiple computers and mobile devices.
With an array of additional features, the Powerline Wi-Fi TKit is the perfect choice for your home or business network.

1.2  Appearance 

Your powerline adapter and extender may differ in appearance slightly from that depicted because of the region and product version. European version is used for demonstration in this guide.

2. Set Up a Powerline Network

If you have a wireless router in your house but the wireless signal cannot reach every corner. You can use a Powerline Wi-Fi Kit to extend the wireless network by setting up a new secure wireless network. 
Follow any of the following methods to set up a secure Wi-Fi network with your Powerline Wi-Fi Kit.

Method 1. Plug and Play

1.    Plug the adapter into a power outlet and connect it to the router’s LAN port via an Ethernet cable.
2.    Plug the extenders into a power outlet on the same service panel. Wait until the extender’s Powerline LED  turns on.

Done! Now enjoy the internet by connecting your devices to the internet using the default SSID (network name) and password on the label of the extender.

Method 2. Pairing

1.    Plug the adapter into a power outlet and connect it to the router’s LAN port via an Ethernet cable.
2.    Plug the extender into a power outlet on the same service panel. Wait until the extender’s Powerline LED  turns on.
3.    Press the Pair button on the powerline adapter for 1 second. The Power LED  should start blinking.
       Note: If the Power LED does not blink, press the Pair button again.
4.    (Within 2 minutes) press the extender’s Pair button for 1 second. Its Power LED  should start blinking.
5.    When the extender’s Powerline LED turns on, a powerline network has been successfully created. 

Done! Now enjoy the internet by connecting your devices to the internet using the default SSID (network name) and password on the label of the extender.

Note: If you have more extenders, simply plug in and pair each one with the existing adapter to join the network. Then the Wi-Fi settings will automatically sync from the existing extender to the new ones.

3. Unify Your Wi-Fi Networks

Copy SSID and password from your router via any of the methods below to create one unified Wi-Fi network throughout your home.

Method 1. Via Wi-Fi Button (Use this when your router has a WPS button)

1.    Plug in the extender in the same room as your router. Wait until the extender’s Wi-Fi LED  turns on.

2.    Press your router’s WPS button. (Within 2 minutes) press the extender’s Wi-Fi button for 1 second. The extender’s Wi-Fi LED  starts blinking. When it stays on, Wi-Fi settings are copied.

Note: If Wi-Fi settings are not copied within 2 minutes, manually change the extender’s Wi-Fi settings.

3.    Relocate the extender and enjoy the internet using your router’s SSID and password.

Method 2. Via EasyMesh (Use this when your router supports EasyMesh)

1.    Connect your computer to the extender wirelessly. Visit http://tplinkplc.net.

2.    Go to EasyMesh and enable it. Then the extender will automatically join an EasyMesh network and copy the wireless settings from the main router.

3.    Enjoy the internet using your router’s SSID and password. Any changes to the Wi-Fi settings of your router will be automatically copied to the extender.

^†Maximum Powerline signal rates are the physical rates derived from Homeplug AV/AV2 specifications. Actual Powerline data throughput and Powerline range are not guaranteed and will vary as a result of network conditions and environmental factors, including electrical interference, volume of traffic
and network overhead, AFCI circuit breaker, and Powerline adapters separated between two or more service panels.
^‡Maximum wireless signal rates are the physical rates derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Actual wireless data throughput and wireless coverage are not guaranteed and will vary as a result of network conditions, client limitations, and environmental factors, including building materials,
obstacles, volume and density of traffic, and client location.
^§Compatible with all HomePlug AV and AV2 Standard Powerline adapters. This product may not be compatible with routers or gateways with firmware that has been altered, is based on open source programs, or are non-standard or outdated.
^△Smart Roaming is designed for devices that support the 802.11k/v standard. Uninterrupted Roaming only works when Powerline Wi-Fi extender and EasyMesh-compatible router wireless coverage overleaps and already forms an EasyMesh network.
^*TP-Link EasyMesh-compatible products can network with other devices that use EasyMesh. Failed connections may be due to firmware conflicts of different vendors. The EasyMesh-Compatible function is still being developed on some models and will be supported in subsequent software updates.
Actual network speed may be limited by the rate of the product's Ethernet WAN or LAN port, the rate supported by the network cable, Internet service provider factors and other environmental conditions.
