Transform Your Electrical Wiring into a High-Speed Network
The TP-Link AV1000 Gigabit Powerline ac Wi-Fi Kit (TL-WPA7517 KIT) offers an ingenious solution that turns your existing electrical wiring into a powerful network infrastructure. This innovative system delivers blazing-fast speeds up to 1000Mbps through your home’s power lines, eliminating the need for extensive cabling or drilling holes through walls.
Unlike traditional networking solutions that rely solely on wireless signals, this powerline technology leverages your electrical circuits to create stable, high-speed connections in areas where Wi-Fi signals struggle to reach. Whether you’re setting up a home office in the basement, streaming 4K content in a bedroom far from your router, or gaming in a room with thick walls blocking wireless signals, the TP-Link AV1000 TL-WPA7517 KIT provides the reliable connectivity you need.
Available from Novatech Technologies, this kit represents the perfect marriage of powerline and wireless technology, offering both wired Gigabit Ethernet ports and extended Wi-Fi coverage in a single elegant solution.
Key Benefits That Enhance Your Network Experience
Lightning-Fast Powerline Speeds
The TP-Link AV1000 standard delivers powerline speeds up to 1000Mbps, providing ample bandwidth for bandwidth-intensive activities like 4K streaming, online gaming, large file transfers, and video conferencing. This represents a significant upgrade over older AV500 or AV600 powerline solutions, ensuring your network can handle modern internet demands without bottlenecks.
Extended Wi-Fi Coverage Without Dead Zones
Beyond simply extending your wired network, the TL-WPA7517 acts as a wireless access point, broadcasting Wi-Fi signals in previously unreachable areas. This dual functionality means you can connect both wired devices like desktop computers and gaming consoles while simultaneously providing wireless coverage for smartphones, tablets, and laptops—all from a single unit.
Gigabit Ethernet Ports for Maximum Wired Performance
Each adapter features Gigabit Ethernet ports that support speeds up to 1000Mbps, ensuring zero performance degradation for wired connections. This makes the kit ideal for devices that demand stable, high-speed connections like smart TVs, network-attached storage (NAS) systems, or gaming PCs where every millisecond of latency matters.
Plug-and-Play Simplicity
Setup couldn’t be simpler: plug one adapter near your router and connect it via Ethernet cable, then plug the second adapter in any room where you need connectivity. The AV1000 adapters automatically pair and establish a secure connection within minutes, requiring no technical expertise or complicated configuration processes.
Extensive Range Coverage
With the ability to transmit data up to 300 meters (1000 feet) through existing electrical wiring, the The AV1000 TL-WPA7517 KIT can reach virtually any room in standard homes and small office environments. This extended range surpasses what traditional Wi-Fi extenders can typically achieve, especially in buildings with concrete walls or multiple floors.
Energy-Efficient Power Management
The kit consumes only 2.3W during typical operation and drops to a mere 0.5W in standby mode. This energy-conscious design ensures minimal impact on your electricity bill while maintaining constant network availability, unlike some adapters that consume significantly more power.
Bank-Grade Security
All data transmitted through your electrical wiring is protected by 128-bit AES encryption, the same security standard used by financial institutions. This ensures that your network traffic remains private and protected from unauthorized access, even though it’s traveling through shared electrical circuits.

Potential Limitations to Consider
Electrical Circuit Dependency
Performance depends heavily on the quality and configuration of your home’s electrical wiring. Older homes with outdated wiring, heavy electrical interference from appliances, or circuits split across multiple phases may experience reduced speeds. Additionally, the adapters must be plugged directly into wall outlets—power strips or surge protectors can significantly degrade performance or prevent connectivity altogether.
Distance and Obstacle Degradation
While the theoretical range reaches 300 meters, actual performance decreases with distance and electrical interference. Heavy-duty appliances like refrigerators, air conditioners, or washing machines on the same circuit can create noise that impacts data transmission speeds. Users in larger homes may experience speeds lower than the advertised 1000Mbps maximum.
Limited Scalability
The kit includes two adapters, which covers most basic scenarios (router to one remote location). Expanding your powerline network requires purchasing additional compatible adapters, which adds to the overall cost. While TP-Link adapters can be added to the network, mixing different generations may limit speeds to the lowest common denominator.
No Built-in Passthrough Socket
Unlike some competing powerline models, these adapters occupy an entire power outlet without providing a passthrough socket. In rooms with limited outlets, this can force you to choose between network connectivity and plugging in other devices, potentially requiring additional power strips (which should not be used with the powerline adapters themselves).
Installation Location Constraints
For optimal performance, adapters should be installed away from potential sources of electrical interference and must use direct wall outlets. This can limit placement options in some rooms, particularly those with limited or inconveniently located outlets.
