TP-Link Powerline 600 Wi-Fi Powerline Extender

The TP-Link TL-WPA4220 powerline adapter extends wired and wireless network connectivity using your home's existing electrical wiring. Supporting HomePlug AV and IEEE 802.11b/g/n Wi‑Fi standards, it provides combined powerline throughput up to 600 Mbit/s and delivers network access from any standard power outlet. The unit includes two Ethernet ports for wired devices and is intended as an add-on extender to expand a powerline network across a house.

Advantages

The TL-WPA4220 turns electrical wiring into a high-speed network without new cables or drilling, offering up to 300 meters of powerline range and simultaneous wired and wireless connections. Setup is plug-and-play with an Ethernet link to your router and a simple pairing button for encrypted connection. The Wi‑Fi Clone feature copies your router SSID and password for a unified wireless name, while the tpPLC app provides remote management, scheduling and LED control from iOS or Android devices.

Suitable for
