$39 · TP‑Link that uses your home’s electrical wiring to extend a wired networks

✅ What it is This is a powerline Ethernet adapter kit from TP-Link that utilizes your home’s electrical wiring to extend a wired network connection from your router to another room/area. It includes two identical units: one plugs near your router (with an Ethernet link to the router) and the other plugs in another outlet in the home (and then connects by Ethernet to the device you want wired). According to TP-Link, the kit is “AV1000”, meaning “up to ~1000 Mbps” over the wiring. It also supports a built-in AC pass-through (so you don’t lose the wall outlet) and a power-saving mode. 📋 Key Specifications Here are the important specs to know (for the Canada/US market version): Standard / Protocols: HomePlug AV2, HomePlug AV, IEEE 1901, IEEE 802.3/3u/3ab TP-Link+1 Maximum theoretical data rate: “up to 1000 Mbps” (i.e., AV1000 class) TP-Link+1 Ethernet port: one Gigabit RJ-45 (10/100/1000) on each adapter. B&H Photo Video+1 Pass-through power outlet: yes, so you can still plug another device into the adapter. TP-Link+1 Power-saving mode: when network activity is low, it can reduce power consumption (up to ~85% claimed) TP-Link+1 Range: up to ~300 meters / ~1000 ft over electrical wiring (ideal conditions) Manuals++1 Encryption: 128-bit AES (to secure the powerline network) Memory Express+1 Power consumption: typical extremely low (often ~2   W or less active) according to specs. Memory Express+1 Plug / Outlet compatibility: The listed version often shows “Plug Type: US” for the US version. TP-Link+1 🎯 Suitability for Your Location & Use Case Given you’re in Courtenay, BC (Canada), here’s how it stacks up: Works on standard North American home wiring (assuming the kit is a Canada/US version) — yes, multiple Canadian retailers list it. Memory Express+1 If you have a part of your home (or your studio/DJ area or computer-tech space) that is wired but far from your router, this is a nice alternative to running new Ethernet cables or relying purely on WiFi extenders. For streaming, gaming, and wired computers (which you might have as a computer technician or DJ setup), having a reliable wired connection is beneficial. ⚠️ Pros & Cons Summary 👍 Pros Simple plug-and-play: no drilling or new wiring. Keeps wall outlet usable thanks to pass-through. Gigabit Ethernet port: good potential for high-speed wired devices. Canada/US availability and support. Low power consumption in idle/power-saving mode.
