Range extenders for AV1300
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I recently bought the AV1300 3-port Gigabit Passthrough Powerline ac Wi-Fi Kit (TL-WPA8630P KIT) which works great for both wireless and wired devices.
For some of the other rooms I would like to extend the wireless but don't necessarily need a wired connection point. Question is would I be better off using a wifi extender (and if so what model) or just buy an additonal TL-WPA8630P device (also mindful of cost).
Thnx

You can add a range extender to boost the wifi signal, while cause they connect to each other by wireless, the performance depends on the actual network environment, including distance, interference, obstacles.
For the single powerline extender, per you know, you can buy a single TL-WPA8630P , without the wireless connection interference, the connection quality may be better, while the price is what you may concerned;
Therefore, it is up to you; both devices have their pros and cons.
Good day.

Can I use any of the TP-Link extenders for that? Would be good if I could monitor/setup both the existing devices and the new extender(s) via the one dashboard.

You can use the TP-Link extender to boost the wifi signal; cause the TL-WPA8630 is dual band, you can order a dual band extender also, like RE200, RE350, RE650.
While the extender cannot be managed via tpPLC utility, instead, some extenders support Tether app which we can use to monitor the extender, besides, it has own web UI.
Or you can login to the web UI of the main router to detect the powerline adapters and range extenders which are in the same local network.
May it help and have a good day.
