Region : UnitedKingdom

Model : TL-PA411KIT

Hardware Version : V1

Firmware Version : 500A final

ISP : SKY


I have the TL-PA411 Kit, I would like to add a wireless unit in the lounge for the smart TV(wired) and wireless for ipads/laptops/phones, will the TL-WPA281 work, and if so, will it pull the whole system down to 300mps or will the system stay at 500mps and wireless adapter at 300mps?

hope that makes sense!:p

Thanks

Here's your answer. http://www.tp-link.com/en/article/?faqid=406

From that, I would interpret that the whole system will drop to the minimum bandwidth, much like other backward-compatible devices which are compatible with lower speeds, unless someone knows otherwise, feel free to correct me. But, unless you're on a gigabit enabled device, the maximum your device will be able to receive is 100mbs anyway, both on your 500mbps and 300mbps adapters. Connect to gigabit with the 500mbps and you'll get the full bandwidth, but not with the 300mbps as they do not have a gigabit port and max out at 100mbps to any ethernet port. Of course sharing the bandwidth between multiple homeplugs to one main modem side homeplug is where you'll see/need the extra bandwidth, and in your case in will drop down to 300mbps as long as that plug is connected. You're only after wireless for basic internet so, the answer to your question is yes it will work and yes, the whole system will be at 300mbps so long as the 300mbps device is connected.

p.s. look for the standards under the spec of the device, if the standards are the same, regardless of the make (e.g. HomplugAV) then you're good to go!

Hope this helps!
