TP-Link AV600 Powerline Wi-Fi Extender Kit TL-WPA4220KIT

The TL-WPA4220KIT and the TL-WPA7517KIT serve the same fundamental purpose: extending network connectivity to a remote room over the property’s existing mains wiring. The distinction is the powerline standard: AV600 (600Mbps specification) versus AV1000 (1000Mbps specification).

For standard home internet use involving streaming, general browsing, and occasional file transfer, AV600 provides adequate throughput in most cases. The AV1000 is the better choice where higher bandwidth is needed: 4K streaming to multiple devices simultaneously, large NAS file transfers, or gaming where latency and throughput are both important.

The Wi-Fi function on the remote WPA4220 adapter provides a wireless access point signal at the powerline location, providing Wi-Fi coverage in the room served without requiring a separate wireless device. The 300Mbps Wi-Fi specification is appropriate for standard devices including smartphones, laptops, and tablets for internet browsing and streaming.

The WPA4220KIT is the cost-appropriate choice for home users needing a simple powerline solution for occasional use or standard internet activities where the additional throughput of the AV1000 kit is not required.

For home users across London and the UK seeking an entry-level powerline Wi-Fi kit for extending internet and wireless connectivity to a distant room over existing mains wiring, the TL-WPA4220KIT provides the standard AV600 powerline Wi-Fi solution.
