TP-Link Powerlines

Hello,

I have a TPlink AV500 powerline ethernet starter kit up and working. I want to extend my network with adding a new N300 powerline extender (model: TL-WA860RE), which has wireless capabilities. Will the new powerline work? It doesn't seem to have a reason not to work...

 

Thanks a lot!

That may plug into a power outlet, but it doesn't use powerline for communication. It uses wireless for both connecting to your router, and for making a new wireless network. If you want a device that uses powerline to connect to your existing powerline hardware, look at the TL-WPA4220 and TL-WPA4530. I don't think they make powerline wireless that also has a passthrough power outlet, but I may have just not found one yet.

Looking to buy GTX690, other multi-GPU cards, or single-slot graphics cards:
