TP-Link Wireless Powerline Adapters offer an easy solution to establish a powerline network with seamless wireless roaming. In this guide, we will walk you through how to set up TP-Link’s Wireless Powerline Adapters – TL-WPA4220 kit and the TL-WPA281 kit version 3.
To begin, plug both powerline adapters into an electrical wall socket and connect the smaller unit to your router using the ethernet cable provided. Press the power button on the smallest adapter for a second and then press the power button on the second device for a second. This step must be completed within two minutes to complete the powerline network. While the adapters are connecting, the top two lights on both devices will flash. Please note that this process could take up to two minutes to complete.
The two powerline adapters are successfully paired when the top two lights flash regularly. The Wi-Fi clone function on the Wireless Powerline Adapter automatically copies your router’s network name and password, providing seamless wireless roaming. To create a seamless wireless network, press the WPS button on your router, then press the Wi-Fi clone button on the powerline adapter and wait until it flashes rapidly. This completes the Wi-Fi clone process.
If your router does not have a WPS button, you can email support UK at TP-link.com and include your name and contact number to receive further assistance.
If you already have a powerline network and want to add more adaptors, follow these instructions. Press and hold the power button on the unit connected to the router for one second. Within two minutes, press and hold the power button on the new powerline adapter for one second. The devices will then automatically connect. Please note that you can only pair two adapters at the same time, and each new adapter must be added separately. Then repeat the Wi-Fi clone process using the WPS button on the router and the Wi-Fi clone button on the adapter.
