<p>The TP-Link 300Mbps AV500 WiFi Powerline Extender is a net starter kit of Powerline adapters that both give you near-Ethernet speeds in rooms away from your Internet router and create a second Wi-Fi hotspot in your home.</p><p>TP-Link claims 300Mbps speeds for that second Wi-Fi signal and 500Mbps for its extension of your ethernet on the network. Like all other Powerline manufacturers it is claiming theoretical maximum speeds here, and you can safely ignore them and rely instead on our real-world tests.</p><p>The two adapters in this starter kit are quite different. The smaller base unit adapter is one of the smallest we've seen. This is the one you plug into a power socket near your router and connect to the router with one of the two supplied Ethernet cables.</p><p>The second adapter is a little larger but by no means the chunkiest Powerline adapter we've seen. This one goes in the second room where you want to connect devices such as smart TVs, games consoles, Sky+, Tivo, Apple TV and other set-top boxes. These can be connected using the other Ethernet cable or via the new Wi-Fi hoyspot it creates in the room handy for laptop, smartphone and tablet users.</p><p><a href="http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/reviews/network-wifi/3491664/tp-link-300mbps-av500-wifi-powerline-extender-review/">Keep reading...</a></p>
