Model: TL-WPA4220 KIT

Hardware Version: V4

Firmware Version: 4.0.3 Build 20190326 Rel.43406

Hi, i am currently running the TL-WPA4220 TKIT; its used by plugging into a SkyQ router and with a powerline adapter plugged in an outside office around (10m) from the SkyQ box.

The speed in the house is around 60-70mb. The office; the adapter is plugged directly into a desktop PC; plus there is also a laptop that needs to connect via WIFI (as the signal is too weak to reach the house connection without it)

The speed in the office is around 10mb internet speed. The admin portal is showing: RX: 35mb TX 27mb.

With the product being a few years old; is there any new TP product i can purchase that would allow for both the main PC being plugged into a powerline; but also have the wifi of the laptop connect with increased speeds?

Would maybe a wifi extender help? i.e. TP-Link AC2600

@Kai_TP

Hi,

1. By RX: 35mb TX 27mb, do you mean the powerline rate displayed on the tpPLC utility between the two powerline devices?

If so, the powerline rate is too slow, please check if it will be better: What can I do if my powerline rate is very low?

2. For newer powerline devices, you could consider TL-WPA8631P KIT, or TL-WPA8630P KIT which support higher powerline rates than TL-WPA4220 KIT.

Please note that the actual speed will be still related to powerline quality and will be affected by powerline interference.

3. For TP-Link AC2600, it is not a model number, do you mean non-powerline devices, just Wi-Fi range extender? If so, that is also a solution to boost Wi-Fi signal, for more information, please refer to How to Boost Your Wi-Fi Signal
