TP-Link TL-WPA4221 KIT AV600 - Powerline Wi-Fi Adapter Kit, White

The TP-Link TL-WPA4221 KIT AV600 Powerline Wi‑Fi Adapter Kit extends network coverage by using existing electrical wiring to transmit data. The device complies with the HomePlug AV2 standard, delivering powerline data transfer rates of up to 600 Mbit/s. It covers a maximum distance of 300 metres within a household electrical circuit. Integrated Wi-Fi 4 creates a wireless hotspot on the 2.4 GHz band with speeds reaching 300 Mbit/s. The unit does not have a built-in power socket, meaning the wall outlet remains occupied during operation.

Configuration relies on plug-and-play functionality, requiring no software installation for basic networking. Security is handled by a dedicated encryption button used to pair the unit with other adapters on the circuit. The kit supports 128-bit AES encryption for powerline data, alongside WEP, WPA-PSK, and WPA2-PSK protocols for wireless traffic. Quality of Service (QoS) support helps prioritise network traffic during high-usage periods. The white casing allows the hardware to blend into home or office settings. The device uses OFDM modulation to maintain data integrity across electrical wiring.

• Three Fast Ethernet ports: provide wired connections for stationary devices such as smart TVs and game consoles.
• IEEE 1901 and 802.3u standards: ensure compatibility with powerline and wired networking protocols.
• LED indicators for LAN, PLC, Power, and WLAN: offer immediate visual confirmation of connection and activity status.
• Type E power plug: designed for direct connection to standard AC wall outlets.
• Wall-plug form factor (54 mm × 40 mm × 94 mm): minimises space usage on wall panels.
• Internal antenna design: maintains a low-profile aesthetic without external components.
