Overview
- The TP-Link TL-WPA4220 KIT uses existing electrical wiring to transmit data at up to 600Mbps, eliminating the need for network cables while extending your Wi-Fi coverage. The starter kit includes both a transmitter (TL-WPA4220) and receiver (TL-PA411), providing a complete solution for areas where traditional routers cannot reach.
The Wi-Fi Clone button simplifies setup, allowing you to mirror your existing network settings and create a seamless unified connection. This is particularly valuable for HD streaming and online gaming, where consistent speed and low latency are essential.
With dual Ethernet ports on the main unit, you can connect wired devices directly, making it suitable for both wireless and wired connectivity needs. The 300-metre range covers most residential and small office environments.

FAQs
What is a powerline extender and how does it work?
A powerline extender transmits data over your home's existing electrical wiring, converting power outlets into network access points. The TP-Link TL-WPA4220 sends data at up to 600Mbps through the electrical circuit, then broadcasts it as Wi-Fi, extending coverage without requiring network cables.
Will this work with my existing router?
Yes. The kit pairs with your existing router using the Wi-Fi Clone button, which mirrors your network settings and creates a unified connection. This allows devices to seamlessly roam between your main router and the extender.
What's the actual range I can expect?
The kit covers up to 300 metres over your electrical circuit. Practical range depends on factors such as wiring quality, number of electrical circuits, and building materials, but it typically covers most homes and small office environments.
Can I connect wired devices to the extender?
Yes. The TL-WPA4220 includes two 10/100Mbps Ethernet ports, allowing you to connect devices like printers, gaming consoles, or desktop computers directly via cable for maximum stability.
Is this secure?
The kit uses 128-bit AES encryption for powerline data and supports WEP, WPA, and WPA2 wireless encryption. Combined with your router's security settings, this provides robust protection for your network.
How much power does it consume?
Maximum power consumption is 7.608W per unit. In standby mode, it uses approximately 4.610W, making it relatively energy-efficient for continuous operation.
What's included in the kit?
The starter kit includes the TL-WPA4220 transmitter, TL-PA411 receiver, two Ethernet cables, and a quick installation guide. You'll need at least two units on the same electrical circuit to operate the system.
Does this support 5GHz Wi-Fi?
No. The TL-WPA4220 supports 2.4GHz only (802.11bgn). If you need 5GHz support, you may want to consider other TP-Link powerline models.
