I don’t think you realise how close I was to throwing mine away and buying a different one. Thank you so much for doing this! Working like a dream all because of your simple step by step setup guide.
6 years later and you saved me a bunch of money. Almost replaced my unit before watching this. Thanks!
Daddy Longlegs gives a thumbs up Jack, i've upgraded but i'm donating these to my niece and she will follow your video to set up..cheers
I was about to throw them out the window. Thank you for a great simple video!
I pleased it has stop you from throwing them out :) thank you
Your explanation is just the best! Thank you!
Thanks this is a lot better than the official tutorial
Original is dog sh it
Brilliant. Very helpful. One add'l thought. You may want to make it clear how to change the SSID, if desired. If the main router has WPS, it's remarkably easy (proven by the fact that I could figure it out myself). :)
Thanks again for the good work you're doing! Cheers from Chicago.
thank you and yes already made a video to show people how etc :)
All ready made a video a while back showing how to reset or change the SSID and Keys etc :)
is it necessary to change the SSID? what if i dont have WPS button and i dont want to change it, can i still use the wifi? planning to buy one this today xD thank you..
Just bought one for my daughter's room. Your description on the set up was the best. Thank you!! It made my job so much easier!!
i dont mean to be offtopic but does anybody know of a way to log back into an instagram account?
I somehow forgot the password. I love any assistance you can offer me.
@Arjun Moses Instablaster =)
@Parker Dariel I really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and Im trying it out now.
I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
@Parker Dariel it worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much you saved my ass!
@Arjun Moses Glad I could help :D
Very clear explanation. Thank you so much. I watched some videos before this and it was just a bunch of fools not showing how to set it up despite them saying they would.
I've liked this so I can revert back to it if I ever run into issues!
oh my god i just spent about 3 hours running up and downstairs trying to pair them i watched a couple of videos and this is the only one that says you can pair them next to each other and then move them thanks a lot im defiantly liking so more people can see this video
+noname vengeance thank you and i please this video is helping others, more to come soon on these type of video.
I found mine, was missing from a move. Loved it then, lovin it now...Hahaa!!
Thank you kind Sir for all your time and Expertise....
bloody hell, I’ve been doing this for 30 minuets, I appreciate the help mate
Thank you for your help and detailed explanations! I attempted to use the direct TP Link TH-cam instructional video and they didn't even go into detail as to how to connect the two. The 3 minute video was split into two sections and so they spent all of 90 seconds rushing through the process and talking quickly. Thanks to you I fixed my connection issues! I misplaced my instruction manual I used when I first connected it and needed help... Thanks so much!!!
Thank you so much!! I got these boys from my parents but I don't know how to set them up.
This was extremely helpful. I used other videos but they did not explain how to connect the password using the card that came with it. I actually did not look at the contents of the card until you said to. Thanks
the people who do the the official tp link demo video should just use this one as the one they have is not very easy to follow .
thanks cloud123
+James Kilpatrick Thank you and your welcome and i agree lol
+cloud123 set it up this morning and worked fine after yesterday messing around trying what tp said to
+James Kilpatrick I please my video help you which give me more ideas on creating more and better video thank you :)
Thank you! I was struggling with the instructions (or lack of) in the box, as it just seemed too simple....but it actually was that simple. I think I was expecting the set up to be more complicated than plug in and pair!Thanks!!
your welcome :)
Hi , I just setup my extender and it is very easy. Thank you. Pls keep up your good works.
+Elaine Ho thank you and your welcome :)
Just a hint from Denmark. In Denmark most houses are supplied with 3 powerlines ( L1,L2,L3), 1 neutral line (N) and one earth.
To get this net powerline system to work well you must be sure that both parts are connected to the same power line EG; if the base is connected to a socket with Neutal and L2, then the extender should be connected to a socket with Neutral and L2.
The easy way is to config in sam rail as shown at the good wideo clip from cloud.
Then try different outlets in the room you want to use the extender in. In Denmark it is law to use at least 2 different powerlines for sockets in each room, hence one socket could be L1, N an other could be L2,N
There are some good software to download for setting up( TL-WPA4220T KIT_V1_Powerline_Scan_Utility) ,and testing speed (tlPLC)
At www.tp-link.com/en/download/TL-WPA4220T-KIT.html
Just for info
Very best regards

Thank so much for this video. I was having problem to set up, the instructions aren't clear, your explanation has been much better.
+Simon Martinez cool and thank you :)
A very clear and concise explaination, the leaflet that came with the kit was hopeless.Thanks for you work, invaluable. OBiW
Thanks for the clear advice - my extender had stopped working after I moved a few things around and I couldn't remember how to re-set - this worked perfectly!
Thanks for taking the time to share now up and running. Best wishes
Thanks buddy; you make everything so simple. Much appreciated.
Your welcome :)
Thank you man! 😀😀
Thank you for the video. I was able to see the wifi password thank to this video. This product work so good. So far I'm happy. I test before with another powerline and have 2 to 4 mb and now 45 mb.
thats cool , I have more tp-link stuff to test and coming up :)
loving the man cave - cheers mate
thank you :)
Saved me from throwing the thing out the window - cheers!
Clear, straightforward, thanks mate.

Thank you good information
You are very welcome. I have new updated hardware reviews coming out very soon on the powerlines.

+Jeremy Brinkworth thank you looking at reviewing there new out door one which can reach up to 15Km
Perfectly delivered instructions
Hey brother.. That is a very nice video that you have posted. I have been looking for an alternative to the already existing bridge setup that I have at my place, with Ethernet cables running into almost all switch boards that I have. With that said, I am pretty much doing good with the wired connections everywhere I have the Ethernet sockets. But the master router that I have is in one of my bedrooms which is far from the living room and hence I can't help to get a good witless signal (speed and range both) in the living room, the kitchen, and the other bedroom. Sometimes the connection just cuts off. So I thought of adding a slave router and switch off the DHCP on that one and connect it to the master and have this slave one in the living room. But that didn't work either.
I wanted to ask you the same thing that you shared in the video, about buying some more of that bigger power line adapters so that we could have one in all rooms. Does that solve my problem here? And have Wi-Fi connected everywhere from the same master router that I have in that bedroom?
And then, will I be able to be connected to Wi-Fi all the time even if I walk from one room to another even if I have doors or walls in between?
And how about streaming videos over these power line networks?
And yeah, is it possible to use one power socket for more things like say if I had to charge my phone and also have the power line adapter connected ??
I am sorry about this long comment, but I seriously felt that you could help me out in this situation.
Thanks mate!
Thanks so much 🙏🏻🕊️
just bought this and can get it to pair ok, but how do you get the extended wi-fi to work?? I was under the impression it would use the same network and settings that I already use, however when I press the WPS button on my router and then the wifi button on the extender unit which is located in another room, it creates a new wifi device called tp-link_6b9100 and asks for a password. Few issues here. Is it supposed to do this, or should It connect using my existing virgin media network? If it is meant to create a new network and I am meant to use a password, is this the 16 character password found on the back of the extender unit, or on the back of the main unit plugged into my router? Not having much luck at the moment.
+VeeDubRacing Right out of the box it create a new wireless Network so new SSID and Password which are all printed on a business card within it box, it also mark on both power line boxes, you can modify it to work with Virgin own Setting which i working on a video to show you how to keep it on one Wireless Network.
Excellent video. Finally got mine working. Thanks very much.
thank you cool :)
you are good my friend
+Adam Melhuish thank you :)
Fantastic video and explanation, far better and easier to understand than TP Links own video installation guide, I was just about to give up and get my money back. A BIG thumbs up and thank you.
Could you please explain sometime how I can now change the name of my new network from tp link to my own name on a Mac Air? Thanks again
+Ffadda Dadda yes i already done a video th-cam.com/video/4S3Ays2T0Uc/w-d-xo.html this one was more about the firmware updates but does cover little on the wireless side, if not i do another video, let me know if this one help?
best revieww.. stright to the point .. GOOD SHIZ
+Leafy Pride thank you :)
+cloud123 ive got a question.. so if i need to pair i need to press the button on the master and then the on the extender? for it to pair? i usually play in my living room so i had wired connection and no lag at all except of servers.. recently i moved into my room n i get around 2 bar of wifi.. will this help as i wanna game in a quiet enviroment and fast internet. :) thx man..
+Leafy Pride if you looking at faster speed for gaming then i would use a cable and not wifi, wifi speed only at around 500mbps if the single week then speed will drop, you can still plug a network cable (RJ45) and still get around 500mbps and you can now buy the TP-Link 1200Mbps Gigabit poweline kits. for gaming i would never use wifi.
+cloud123 oh dont worry i always use wired connection and my.room is about 10 feet away from.my router .m the question is .. will the powerline adapter do its job and give me good internet
+Leafy Pride yes only up to the speed you power line is as they come as 300Mbps , 500Mbps and 1000Mbps so it should be good for gaming on :)
Great vid
like the garage
cheers :)
Nice vid bro, keep up the work!
thank you :)
that spider though....
+djkevingr :) lol there loads in there, need a good clean out lol
very helpful thank you very much
your welcome :)
Thanks a lot. Very helpful video.
+Ciaran Hudson your welcome :)
you are star
Please is it pissible to give me a call as i am finding difficultu dealing with virgin new touter and tge tp link extender on 07400194335
Thank you, nd your English is just fine. :)
+Lesley Gibbs thank you :)
Thanks. But doesn’t this create a local TP SSID/ network? How can I get a seamless WiFi throughout the house, with the same SSID as my router using the adapter & extender? .
Thanks I found it so helpful and successful. What I'd like to know now is how do I add another tp link to what's there in use?
Would like to see how to add another powerline wifi extender to another living area. Is it the same setup and pairing but with a different password for the new powerline wifi extender, or do you have to set up a new SSID? Do the plugs for the extenders needed to be on the same electrical circuit breaker, the same circuit breaker would mean it's wired to the different living areas from that breaker. There are multiple circuit breakers for other living quarters in a home. Homes are not wired with one circuit breaker throughout the house for the extenders to travel through. Just my thought on this.
You made my day :)
Very helpful
Great job,,,,,,,,

Your welcome
THX, HELPED LOTS FOR ME,
your welcome :)
你好，我的朋友，哈哈O(∩_∩)O~
Thank you,it's very useful to me
+choi Kayu your welcome :)
Does anyone know how to configure it to one SSID? I have my original SSID and TPLink SSID showing up. Thanks in advance!
that was awesome and simple. So I want to know where the wires and which wires go to what device. computer, hard drive, printer, cable box, etc.
Hi Jack, bought a new WA4220KIT.. followed your steps. all the indicators are fine, but the extender doesnt have internet connection, no wifi, no LAN. There is no issue with the ISP, direct internet works from the router.
I would open the web interface to your wa4220kit as you may need to change some settings.
great guide-thanks
thank you :)
Can the Xbox one be wired into the TP Link so game down load times can be reduced.
Thanks for a clear review of this product, am very tempted to get one.
Is it effect if the sender and the receiver power supply are fed from different power line phases ? in our flat we are using 3-phase supply where each phase is feeding different locations .
very helpful!!
great thanks how do i find video on adding other units
Sorry for the dumb question to follow... but have to be sure before I purchase... how far apart can I have the two extenders (the first I realise right next to the router).... but the distance away from 1st extender ???? and some daft?? souls are talking about it not working due to a different electrical main ring.. I have a shed that is powered using lighting cable (dont ask!) .. surely the electric supply to the extender is there to power the extender only and has nothing to do with the electric ring within the house?? Please tell me I'm not going nuts? Like your kind and frank video xxx
+S Avgoulis as long as all the cabling from one socket to other socket are on the same fuse box then i don't see an issue with using them. I know if i plug both into an extension lead it start having issue, so make sure the first one which plug into router is on a direct socket as the other one can work on extension lead ok. But i do like to see both of them running from the main sockets for a better speed.
great job thank you
+adel ismail thank you :)
Something to take in consideration using extension sockets will reduce the performance
this was a nice presentation. but you should have shown your modem connection speed then your wifi extender speed.
+Rich Lo I will be doing a video on broadband speed and the best way of testing them.
+cloud123uk I don't expect the same speed. I have to yet seen an extender do better than a modem but if you can get more than half the speed I feel OK about it.
Rich Lo i do some test using the cable plug in to one end and also the wifi test too. Post video Tuesday
Hey jack. on the wireless adaptor my 2nd light flashes slowly while the others stay strong. its only a recent problem after a year of having it. any ideas ? cheers great video
THANK YOU
Thanks you saved me
Really helpful video, thanks. I've recently changed my router/internet connection. When trying to reconfigure it, I cannot get the 2ns light down, on either plug to light up. I've pressed the rest button a couple of times, but to no avail. Do you think these are now too old and faulty? Thanks.
Thank you
I am about to get this set but was intrigued to see you plug into an extension lead, everything I've read says dont, it must be straight into a mains socket.
You may have answered this already, and I think you said you'll be making a video about it, but I wanted to ask just to be clear in my mind. I'm currently using the AV200's and they work GREAT! However, the way I have things configure in my home, I have my wifi router in the basement but the signal is rather weak upstairs. The way I understand how this 4220 kit works is it can "extend" that wifi signal. But then I read it creates it's own wifi signal and not extend or repeat the original one. Can you clear this up before I purchase this item? Thanks!
+Andrew Poletto These are common question that popping up a lot more so i will do a live chat about this tonight at UK 7pm so watch my page for a live stream at 7pm and i go over all this for you and more.
Thanks for video. I tried setting up ethernet cable and it worked fine. Problem is when I am trying wifi setting. My laptop does not detect TP link as wifi even after multiple scan. Can you suggest what should I do?
+Sanjeev Jha can you confirm on the laptop you are still connected with cable while you trying to scan?
Very clear but I was hoping to see the wifi option. I've just set it up and the ethernet is working and I'm connected to the TP link wifi it produces but I want to connect devices to the home wifi not the tp link wifi itself.
All you need to do is set the wifi SSD and passcode the same on both devices your tp-link and home boardband :)
Lovely video thank you. I am adding extras to an existing set up. I have another WPA4020 and 2 PA4010's. I have a feeling all is not well. HELP! tia
Thank you for your helpful video! up and running in seconds due to your help! :-) I'm having issues with it keep saying its not a good network so not at all sure why, i sthere anything I can do to get a better signal? Im not even out side of teh property so its not really extended anyhting. My TP linksys used to go across the road from the router it self and was expecting this to at least get to the front door! I have now just purphased a D-Link DIR-X5460 EXO AX5400 Wi-Fi 6 Router with Gigabit Ethernet Ports, MU-MIMO, Band Steering, 1024 QAM, OFDMA, WPA3, Firewall, Parental Controls and Speedtest. Works with Alexa/Gooogle Assistant. to see if thsi will help. Have you any advise of this router to the TP-Link at all? Thanks
Just a quick question, after you paired them, and use it etc. And the next day you want to use it again, do you have to pair them up again or is it done?
+TooGoodForTV once you pair then and keep them switch on they keep there settings
Hi Jack, thanks alot for the video this was really helpful. When I follow your steps does it automatically clone your wifi including SSID and name of your network? Again thanks alot for your help
Greetings from the Netherlands
I was hoping you could cover the cloning part.
do you mean changing the SSID so one for all, or how to connect them together?
no he means the WiFi cloner
Hello cloud123uk.
I followed your instruction videos to install my tplink plus an additional extender. It was really clear and i managed to set everything up so quickly. My router does not have a WPS button and therefore i seem to have managed to get 3 internet connections. Home, the extender starter kit and then the additional extender and all with their own password. Please can you suggest what i can do to make them all the same network address with the same passphase.
Great video but I have several TP Link units in my house. How can I move my iPad seamlessly around the house without loading the passcode for each of the TP Link units into the iPad. I.e. can I change all the TP LInk units to use a common password. Thanks
I was so excited to see a speed test after you plugged them in, and then the video ends....
I have a T link model TL WPA4220T I have watched your video which is very informative to a point. has you know you have two extenders to a box and each have its own ID password, my question do one have to keep swapping passwords every time you enter a deferent room. if so is there an easy way to change the passwords so all extenders work in unison
+David Lewis I already done a video on this question as it very common question that pop up , remember few ways you can do this, for each room on it own SSID once you set it up in a mobile devices it remember it forever, so when you move around the house the mobile device will auto change to the strong singal and does this very quickly, the best way is to change the SSID and it key to match the same as you internet router. That way when it pick the strongest signal it changes over faster as the first one may drop it connection for a few second.
Thanks Jack. My modem is hard wired to an Apple Airport Time Capsule which provides my wifi signal. Will this product be compatible with that set up for boosting signal to a dead spot.
Hi I got a bungalow and my PlayStation 5 in the back room and my rooter in my front room will powerline work what range are they
Yes it will work the latest version now do gig over the powerlines now
thanks
I have a victorian house but I have thick walls, I use talktalk but I don't get enough wifi coverage. What wifi repeater would you recomend
Thanks for the video. I have a quick question.
Is it really ok to use this on a power strip? I don't have enough power points and would love to use this on a strip but I read that you shouldn't use it with a strip or surge protector.
they do work on power strip but work better in the main sockets, you can buy the pass thou version so you can plug the one direct into the wall and then you power strip with plug in from there see link uk.tp-link.com/products/details/cat-18_TL-PA9020P-KIT.html
