tp-link TL-PA7010 KIT Specification

The TP-Link TL-PA7010 KIT is a powerline adapter solution designed to extend wired network access throughout a home or office using existing electrical wiring. This kit includes two adapters, each equipped with a Gigabit Ethernet port, enabling high-speed data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbps. It supports the HomePlug AV2 standard, ensuring stable and fast connectivity for activities such as HD video streaming, online gaming, and large file downloads. The compact design of the adapters allows for unobtrusive placement in any power outlet, and the pass-through socket ensures that no power outlet is wasted.

Setup is straightforward, requiring no additional configuration or software installation. Users simply plug one adapter into a power outlet near their router and connect it via an Ethernet cable, then plug the second adapter into a power outlet where network access is needed. The adapters automatically pair with each other, establishing a secure encrypted connection with 128-bit AES encryption for data protection. The TL-PA7010 KIT also features power-saving capabilities, reducing power consumption by up to 85% when the network is not in use.

For enhanced user experience, the adapters include LED indicators that display network status, allowing easy troubleshooting. The TP-Link TL-PA7010 KIT is compatible with all routers and other TP-Link powerline adapters, providing flexibility in network expansion. This makes it an ideal solution for extending a wired network to areas that are challenging to reach with a traditional wireless setup.
