Using them in four way extensions are never recommended by the various manufacturers, but we've never had a problem with any of the adapters we've tested. TP-LINK have kept the adapters to a small size meaning they will fit in a double wall outlet without obscuring the neighbouring outlets and also will fit in an extension lead without affecting the other sockets. Clearly this adds a premium to the price but it does save losing what these days are much needed power outlets. The kit contains two identical adapters that both feature the much needed AV Pass through feature. Having three cables sprouting out of the top doesn't really add to the overall look. The three Gigabit Ethernet ports are located to the top of the adapter, which as we found with our review of the 8010 it would be much better if they came out of the bottom. It's not an object of beauty, but if you do have it located where it can be seen it's not going to cause offense. It has a understated modern look with nicely rounded edges and an all white, hard plastic build. Coming in at £80 it looks a very attractive and cost effective option, read on to see how it performs in our tests.Īesthetically the TP-LINK PA8030P Kit is very similar to the 8010. The set we have for review here is the TL-PA8030P KIT which offers the same 1200Mbps rating and the advanced HomePlug AV2 Technology as seen with the PA8010 set, but this time with three Gigabit Ethernet ports per adapter. Our last TP-LINK adapter set reviewed back in June 2015 was the TL-PA8010P, rated at 1200Mbps and then costing £82 (now available for just £60) this performed superbly in our tests and came out with our Highly Recommended award. Plus, from just £40 you can get adapters with WiFi which really should put an end to having to suffer with low speed and intermittent WiFi signals. With basic 500Mbps adapters starting from just £20, there really is no excuse to have unsightly cable laid all around the house.
For a very simple and extremely cost effective way of getting network access to all those hard to reach areas, Powerline Adapters really are one of the modern home's must have devices.
