tp-link TL-WPA7617 Kit Powerline WiFi

Installation Instructions

• TL-WPA7617 (European version) is used for demonstration in this guide.
• Images may differ from actual products.

1. Plug in the new extender near one of your existing powerline devices.

2. Check the new extender’s Powerline LED . Is it on?
   Yes > Step 4
   No > Step 3

3. Pair the powerline devices
   A Press the Pair button on the existing powerline device for 1 second. The Power LED starts blinking.
   Note: If the Power LED does not blink, press the Pair button again.
   B Within 2 minutes, press the Pair button on the new extender for 1 second. The Power LED starts blinking.
   When the Powerline LED on the new extender turns on, the pairing process is complete.
   

4. Enjoy!
   Relocate the extender to the Wi-Fi “dead” zone. Connect your devices to the internet using the default SSIDs (network name) and password on the label at the side of the extender.
   
   Tip:
   If you cannot find the SSIDs in your Wi-Fi network list, your new extender has automatically copied over the existing wireless settings. In this case, use the SSID and password of your existing powerline network to connect.
   If you want to unify your Wi-Fi networks, refer to the back page for instructions.

Attention

1. Use the product only in the upright direction.
   

2. Plug powerline devices into wall outlets instead of power strips.
   Note: Using power strip will affect network performance or even cause connection drops.
   

Unify Your Wi-Fi Networks via One-Touch Wi-Fi Configuration

Copy SSID and password from your router via WPS to create one unified Wi-Fi network throughout your home.

Note: If your router doesn’t have a WPS button, manually change the extender’s Wi-Fi settings via the tp PLC app, tp PLC Utility, or web interface.

1. Plug in the extender in the same room as your router. Wait until the extender’s Wi-Fi LED turns on.

2. Press your router’s WPS button. Within 2 minutes, press the extender’s Wi-Fi button for 1 second. The extender’s Wi-Fi LED starts blinking. When it stays on, Wi-Fi settings are copied.
   Note: If Wi-Fi settings are not copied within 2 minutes, manually change the extender’s Wi-Fi settings.

3. Relocate the extender and enjoy the internet using your router’s SSID and password.

If you personalize any extender with LED schedules or other Wi-Fi settings (such as Wi-Fi schedules and guest network), the settings will also automatically sync to other extenders in the secured powerline network.
