tp-link TL-PA4022P KIT Powerline Adapter

Product Information

The TL-PA4022P KIT (European version) is a powerline adapter used to create a secure powerline network. It is designed to extend your network connection to areas of your home or office where Wi-Fi signals may be weak or nonexistent. The adapter works by transmitting data through the electrical wiring in your building, providing a reliable and high-speed internet connection.
The TL-PA4022P KIT comes with two adapters: the TL-PA4020P and the TL-PA4010P. The TL-PA4020P adapter is suitable for use when the power outlets are on the same electrical circuit, while the TL-PA4010P adapter is recommended for use when the power outlets are on different electrical circuits.
Both adapters have a maximum power output of 3680W and a maximum current rating of 16A. They support AV600 technology, which allows for data transmission speeds of up to 600Mbps.

Product Usage Instructions

1. Ensure that the powerline adapters are plugged into wall outlets instead of power strips.
2. To create a secure powerline network:
3. Press and hold the Pair button on any of the powerline devices for 1 second. The Power LED should start blinking.
4. Within 2 minutes, press and hold the Pair button on another device for 1 second. The Power LED should start blinking.
5. Wait for the Powerline LED to light up, indicating that a powerline network has been successfully created.
6. To join an existing secure powerline network:
7. Press and hold the Pair button on any of the existing powerline devices for 1 second. The Power LED should start blinking.
8. Within 2 minutes, press and hold the Pair button on the new powerline adapter for 1 second. The Power LED should start blinking.
9. Wait for the Powerline LED to light up, indicating that a powerline network has been successfully joined.
10. The TL-PA4022P KIT supports a Power-Saving Mode. If the device connected to the adapter is turned off or inactive for more than 5 minutes, the powerline adapter will automatically switch to Power-Saving Mode.

Physical Appearance
The TL-PA4020P and TL-PA4010P adapters have an integrated electrical socket that can be used to power other devices. They also feature Power LED, Powerline LED, Ethernet LED, and Pair Button for easy setup and monitoring.

  • Wait until the Powerline LED turns on.
    Note: If the LED is off, please refer to FAQ-Q2.

  • More: To add additional powerline adapters and extenders with the default settings, simply plug them into the wall sockets on the same electrical circuit.
    

Attention
Plug powerline devices into wall outlets instead of power strips.

Set Up a Secure Powerline Network by Pairing (Recommended)

You can create or join a secure powerline network using the Pair button on two devices at a time.
Tips: We recommend that you plug in the powerline devices near each other when pairing.

To create a secure powerline network:

1. Press the Pair button on any of the powerline devices for 1 second. Its Power LED should start blinking.
   Note: If the Power LED does not blink, press the Pair button again.

2. (Within 2 minutes) press the Pair button on another device for 1 second. Its Power LED should start blinking.

3. When the Powerline LED lights up, a powerline network has been successfully created.

To join an existing secure powerline network:

1. Press the Pair button on any of the existing powerline devices for 1 second. Its Power LED should start blinking.
   Note: If the Power LED does not blink, press the Pair button again.

2. (Within 2 minutes) press the Pair button on the new powerline adapter for 1 second. Its Power LED should start blinking.

3. When the Powerline LED lights up, a powerline network has been successfully created.
