The OMADA NETWORKS BY TP LINK AV1000 GIGABIT POWERLINE STARTER KIT, part number TL-PA7017 KIT, provides a solution for extending network connectivity using existing electrical wiring. This kit is designed for businesses and IT departments that require stable internet access in areas where running new Ethernet cables is impractical or costly. It is suitable for connecting devices such as desktop PCs, smart TVs, or network-attached storage (NAS) devices without relying on Wi-Fi, which can be susceptible to interference or range limitations. The AV1000 standard indicates a focus on delivering sufficient bandwidth for common office applications and media streaming. This powerline starter kit addresses the challenge of establishing wired network access in locations distant from the primary router or network switch, leveraging the building's power infrastructure to create a reliable network link.
The TL-PA7017 KIT is described as a 'Starter Kit,' which typically includes two powerline adapters necessary to establish a network connection over electrical wiring.
The 'AV1000' designation indicates that the kit is designed to support network speeds up to 1000 Mbps over the powerline connection.
This kit is designed to extend wired internet access to areas within a building where Wi-Fi signals are weak or where new Ethernet cabling is not feasible, utilizing existing electrical outlets.
While not explicitly stated, powerline adapters generally adhere to industry standards (like HomePlug AV) for basic compatibility, but optimal performance is typically achieved when using devices from the same manufacturer or standard.
