Questions about TP-Link TL-WPA7517 KIT

Here is the answer from our responsible department : You can find information in the user guide : https://static.tp-link.com/2020/202010/20201013/TL-WPA7517_User%20Guide_V1.pdf To expand your existing wireless network (page 8). You can confirm that the customer can extend the coverage by adding more expanders. The best option would be to purchase the same expander model (as a set). Unfortunately, we only offer it as a kit.

To increase network coverage with the TL-WPA7517 PLC kit, you can add several additional repeaters. It is important that all the powerline adapters are connected to the same electrical circuit to work properly. The exact number of repeaters you can add is not specified, but in general, the more adapters you have, the more you can extend your network coverage. Make sure that all adapters are compatible with the HomePlug AV2 standard to guarantee good performance.

Ciao Andre, I need Powerline to listen to music in the basement because there is no network reception down there. I bought the TL-WPA7517 KIT (I already had a KIT in operation and was satisfied with it) because the value for money was right. WLAN and LAN were also important to me. Installation is really plug & play, the WLAN configuration using WPS is no problem at all. It should be noted that both adapters are connected directly to the socket, without a multiple socket strip. At the moment I still have them connected to such a strip and the loss of data transfer rate is actually noticeable. Greetings Thomas

Hello. Should work

This is also available, but for a good WLAN and good coverage I would rather invest in a mesh system, a very good and inexpensive WiFi 6 mesh system is available from Xiaomi, for example, the AX3000. It comes with two mesh routers, each with a 3-port Gbit switch and a WAN connection, which you would connect to the provider's Internet router and then set up the second mesh device a little further away, so that you then have WLAN in the entire area and can move freely without the WLAN breaking (this is often the case when you use range extenders). However, the TL-WPA7517 only seems to be available as a set at Digitec.

Correct, the "transmitter" is connected to the router with a cable. Do you have room for a switch? Then the space problem at the router would be solved.
