Even the TP-Link TL-WPA4220Kit I faced a bit skeptical, but made me brave to work. The entire facility until everything was just as I imagined it, lasted, as we have the MAC filter enabled on the router and I did not want him off (should from the outset equal to everything running properly) but good 1.5 hours , Some failures included.
The accompanying Quick Start Guide and the existing manual on CD are both in English. So I hardly have problems and work in this area, but especially in the German computer vocabulary I do not just prefer.
The Quick Start Guide was for a ton, because simply connect only via Knöpfchen the two devices, possibly even the router data can be read, well thank you, then I can my neighbors still the same data my throwing in the mailboxes. The 8-digit default password is as insufficient.
Before starting the device, should the MAC addresses of the adapters that are on a label on the bottom copy. So you know later in the administration by which it is.
So once the larger PA4220 adapter via a LAN cable connected to the PC. With the small program (Management Utility) sought from the CD and found pressed to connect and you're using the web-based management. In both fields: admin Enter and there you are. There the same time changed the password and made a few custom settings. Done.
Then the smaller PA4010 adapter via a LAN cable connected to the router, the larger PA4220 adapter connected via other LAN cable to the LAN port on the PC. (Both LAN cables are included.) In the Powerline settings you can now add the second adapter (previously written off its MAC address) as soon as that was found is its status to online.
Finally pushed the pairing buttons, so that they do not seek and find and everything flashed by the book.
Who are its Internet connection to DHCP, ie its individual devices did not assign fixed IP addresses but it is assigned by the router anew every time, which must again after each reboot of TPLINK management in the utility to connect click, since the previous IP address so no longer correct.
What I really like, is that a MAC filtering can be adjusted even with the TP-Link adapters. So no one can log into the home network spite password. There, however, remember that the MAC address of the 2nd adapter must be entered, otherwise is offline suddenly.
Now even the performance. The Signal's running through the in-house power line. As exist even in smaller apartments or houses usually 2 or more leads, does not mean that each outlet with each other depends on the same line. Sometimes there are several of them in a room. Because you just have to search to find who can communicate the.
The result is first class, in the last corner, where the repeater only max. 3 strokes arrived, we now have all 5 lines, so full power.
Conclusion: For us the perfect solution to still have a very good Internet connection also in so far dead corners. The somewhat tricky device and the sometimes very complicated instructions at that only in English, however, let me pull off a star.
