I got a set of these in Tesco in the Cresent Limerick last week for 15 euro. I also got a set of the 500mb versions in PC world the other day for 39 euro. Obviously there is much better performance from the 500mb versions but the 200's are no slouch either and work pretty well for what I need them for.

actually, joking aside that's really cheap

Needed a pair so ordered these myself yesterday... 2 - 4 week wait though!

(although judging from other "2 - 4 waits" for despatch, they tend to ship sooner!)

but but you can get them from Vodafone for 80 quid

31.99 in Argos http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/1439175/Trail/searchtext>TP+LINK.htm

and 38 for the 500mbps ones http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/1397640/Trail/searchtext>TP+LINK.htm

Not as cheap as amazon but certainly worth the asking price, I have tried those particular ones myself, and had no problems at all, great for consoles, and even better for smart tv's that don't come with built in wireless but do have pricey dongles available separately

currys have similar for 25 euro

I use a dd-wrt flashed router in bridge mode to get to a couple of dead spots in my house but still have 2 more dead spots that I just cant seem to reach no matter what where I put the bridged router.

Was going to pick up a couple of the Tp-links. Not for TVs or gaming, just general browsing in the dead spots, are the receiving plugs wifi? how many receivers can you add on?

*NOTE* - the two adapters need to be placed in the same electrical circle and not plug them into an extension lead.

This is probably a stupid question, but do sockets in an average house tend to be on the same circuit?

any decent price on the plugs that have wireless built in?

More stupid questions ...

Will this work in a garden shed / office if router / plug based in main house? One review states he has done same but can suffer from word blindness when it comes technology so want to make sure I'm not missing anything ...

GoodisonPark

Satworld have them for €30
Got a similar brand in PC World for €24.99

Certainly will , excellent product , however depending on the distance involved you may need to use the 500 ones.

They also have On Network ones in PC World / Currys for €19.99..

.. but not in stock in either of my local stores - checked in both on Saturday and also using stock-checker on website!

Shame as I had a €20 One4All voucher burning a hole in my pocket.

EDIT: They're actually indicated as OOS the Currys website now.. but on PCWorld.ie. Still, think they're pretty much out-of-stock everywhere.

I have the TP-Link 200s for my garden office - about 20 ft from the house, the cable run is more like 30ft, works fine!

great price, thanks

Have these a while now. The speed is OK .. 10-15 mbps.

Doesn't drop any traffic though so perfect for VoIP.

Anyone used them for gaming? (PS4/Xbox)

Yep, my young fella uses them for both (not at the same time!).

Yes they are generally connected at some point in the circuit, I have used these plugs in a three story house and had no problems, Each floor had separate MCB's for each floors sockets so there is a separation somewhere but they still work fine.

I got a pretty decent one in Argos a few weeks back for another job,

http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/1286627/Trail/searchtext%3EWIFI+EXTENDER.htm

It works pretty well and there is a ethernet socket on its base so its good for the likes of a non wifi device like a sky box etc.

Yep I can confirm that it will work if its on the same powerline. Ive heard talk of people sharing internet connections with their next-door neighbours and it working fine but I haven't had the chance to try it out yet.


All in all the 200 versions are good for general use but if your streaming proper HD stuff over a network the better ones are a must.

As expected, got an e-mail saying they'll be shipped sooner than expected with an estimated arrival date of February 26 2014 - February 28 2014.
