Personal Review
For this review, I have setup this TL-WPA4220KIT Starter Kit with the TL-WDR4300 router (read review here).

What’s Powerline Technology ?
• Also known as HomePlug®
• A very simple and reliable way to connect devices to the Internet and one another using your home’s existing electrical wiring.
• Theoretical connection speed up to 1.2Gbps.
• Suitable to connect devices without Wi-Fi support.

Installation
Installing the TL-WPA4220KIT starter kit is very simple. Connect the TL-PA4010 to an electrical socket (on wall, not power strip**) and connect the Ethernet cable to your router’s LAN port. For this review, I plug the cable into any LAN port (yellow) on the TL-WDR4300 router. Subsequently, plug in the TL-WPA4220 to another electrical socket in any room (which requires better Wi-Fi coverage).
**I did test by connecting the TL-PA4010 on a surge power strip and it works too. But you may degrade the network quality/speed of the Powerline network.



Basically this starter kit will create a Powerline network and extend your current Wi-Fi coverage in your home. The TL-WPA4220 has 2 Ethernet ports which suitable to connect your Smart TV, Game Console, Personal Computer, Media players, etc., to the Internet.
The TL-WPA4220 provides better performance than normal Wi-Fi Extender because you can leverage on any electrical socket in your home to get better Wi-Fi coverage.



To make easier to connect the TL-WPA4220 to your existing Wi-Fi network, you can utilise the Wi-Fi Clone button (aka WPS). It will automatically copy the wireless network name (SSID) and Password of your router at the push of a button. After pressing the Wi-Fi Clone button, you can place the TL-WPA4220 anywhere and enjoy seamless networking across your entire home or office. With this feature, you do not need to configure the TL-WPA4220 via web browser.

The TL-WPA4220KIT supports 128-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) to secure your Powerline network. Just press and hold the Pair button on the TL-WPA4220 for 1 second. Next press and hold the Pair button on the TL-PA4010 for 1 second (complete 2nd step within 2 minutes).

Hi bro,

In your experience, if at one plug point i use the extension out to 3 plug point, will this 4220 kit able to detect the LAN network at the new extension ?

Possibly yes, possibly no ... either way not recommended to plug into extension gang to avoid noisy line

can it be use by extension? because I have only 1 plug point in my room...

Hi there, yes you can try, basically if your extension plug is normal one can use also. or you can looking for powerline with passthrough also ma..WPA4230KIT OR WPA4226KIT..problem solved!

got this stuff from lelong this morning! can't wait to try it out! I bought this because your advice here!

Can I use for two different unit? E.g House A to B

I think is not working because powerline are using electrical wires to communicate,then powerline impossible to pass through different electric meter box.
