Three one-gigabit ethernet ports, Passthrough electrical outlet, Modest price for adapters that support three network devices
Not the fastest HomePlug AV2 MIMO gear available, Bulky adapters preclude use of second receptacle in a typical wall outlet
It's not the fastest HomePlug kit on the market, but TP-Link's TL-PA8030P delivers reasonable HomePlug AV2 MIMO performance and lets you connect up to three devices to a single adapter. That makes it a good candidate for use in a small home entertainment...
Builtin 3 port Gigabit switch, Passthrough 16A power outlet, Charttopping performance
Blocks second outlet in U.S. duplex
Currently, the TL-PA8030P KIT is available only in-store at select Frys and Microcenters. TP-LINK tells us it will become "more generally available" in September. As of this writing, it is not on Amazon, and NewEgg is showing it only from a third-party v...

It's quite remarkable that the powerline adapters that form the top three in each speed test all feature a Qualcomm QCA7500 chipset. The only exception to this is the 50 meter test with damping, where the TP-Link TL-PA7020 kit with its Broadcom BCM60355 c...

3 x 1Gb ethernet ports, Easy pairing, Doesn't block sockets, Stable and fast connection, Ideal for AV/PC networks
Doesn't look much for your money
The TP-Link AV1200 Powerline Starter Kit is fast, stable and offers three 1 Gigabit ethernet ports. This means you can have a wired connection to your AV set up without trailing wires across your room. Alternatively, as I have done, keep your modem and ro...
Outstanding 434Mbps speeds, Excellent value, Easy to install
You won't get 1200Mbps, ever, Unsightly top mounted Ethernet ports
Is it worth buying?If you are looking for Powerline Adapters that offer great features such as three Gigabit Ethernet ports per adapter, the new AVForums record speeds of a peak throughput of 434Mbps and the highest average of 312Mbps, can comfortably cat...
Starting with the build quality and design of the TP-LINK AV1200 powerline kit we have a product which offers a good standard on both fronts. These new generation powerline adapters are larger than the previous models however they are still easy enough to...
The TP-Link AV1200 Gigabit Passthrough Powerline Adapter Starter Kit (TL-PA8010P KIT or TL-PA8030P KIT) matches its rival Gigabit Powerline adapter sets in our real-world speed tests. The TP Link TL-PA8030P (£69.99 from Amazon UK) is better value as it bo...
Superb 400Mbps+ Speeds, Great value, Effortless installation, Quick setup
You won't get 1200Mbps, ever, Top mounted Ethernet port
Is it worth buying?Very much so. By some distance these adapters gave us the fastest speeds we have ever recorded. With a maximum throughput of 408Mbps and average of 284Mbps they can comfortable cater for multiple HD streams, even 4K if you have ventured...
