Powerline Adapter kit TP-LINK TL-PA4010P — 500 Mbps, up to 300 m range, passthrough outlet

TP-LINK TL-PA4010P is a Powerline adapter kit that extends a wired Ethernet connection using the existing electrical wiring in a home or office. The kit provides up to 500 Mbps theoretical throughput and can transmit data across distances up to 300 metres over power lines. Each adapter includes a passthrough power outlet so you do not lose a wall socket when the device is plugged in, making it possible to keep powering nearby equipment while extending network coverage to locations with weak Wi‑Fi or where running new cables is impractical.

Advantages

The TL-PA4010P offers a simple plug-and-play setup without the need for additional configuration or drilling for cables. Integrated passthrough outlets preserve socket availability and reduce clutter around power points. With support for up to 500 Mbps over powerline and a range of up to 300 m, the kit provides a stable wired connection ideal for devices that demand lower latency and consistent bandwidth compared to wireless alternatives.

Suitable for

• Connecting smart TVs and streaming devices in rooms with weak Wi‑Fi
• Providing a wired connection to game consoles and desktop PCs
• Extending network access to home offices or basements where cabling is difficult
• Linking IP cameras or smart-home hubs requiring reliable Ethernet

Key specifications

• Powerline throughput: up to 500 Mbps (theoretical)
• Powerline range: up to 300 metres over electrical wiring
• Integrated passthrough power outlet to maintain socket use
• Ethernet: one Gigabit/fast Ethernet LAN port on each adapter for wired device connection
• Encryption: built-in powerline data encryption for secure connections

How to use

Plug one adapter into a wall socket near your router and connect it to the router with an Ethernet cable. Plug the second adapter into a wall socket in the room where you need network access and connect your device to it via Ethernet. The adapters typically synchronize automatically; if required, press the pair or security button to establish an encrypted connection. Avoid using power strips or surge protectors between the adapter and the wall socket for best performance.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, plug adapters directly into wall outlets and keep them away from large appliances that may cause electrical noise. Use the passthrough outlet to maintain power to other devices and place adapters on separate circuits only when necessary; performance may vary depending on the building's wiring. If multiple adapters are used, ensure each is paired and positioned to minimise distance and interference along the powerline.
