Wireless range extender spreads wifi via electrical circuitry

[FuturoMan]

Providing secure network coverage anywhere on up to 1,000 ft of electrical circuitry, TL-WPA4220KIT uses Powerline and 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi technology to deliver connectivity throughout any home or office. Powerline adapter TL-PA4010, included, connects to router and feeds network connection through existing electrical circuitry at 500 Mbps.

SAN DIMAS, CA – TP-LINK, a global provider of networking products, is now shipping their TL-WPA4220KIT, a Wireless Range Extender Kit which uses Powerline and 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi technology to spread seamless connectivity in any home or office.

The Wireless Range Extender Kit includes two Powerline Adapters, the TL-PA4010 and the TL-WPA4220. The first connects to your router and feeds network connection through your existing electrical circuitry at the rate of 500Mbps, and the latter broadcasts that connection as a 300Mbps Wi-Fi signal while providing two fast Ethernet ports for concurrent wired connectivity.

Together they can provide network coverage anywhere on up to 1000 ft of electrical circuitry, proving a great solution for multi-level homes and large offices which normally have several hard-to-reach areas with limited wired and wireless coverage.

Users can easily set up the TL-WPA4220KIT with the built-in Pair and Wi-Fi Clone Buttons, which quickly establish a secure 128-bit AES encrypted connection while cloning the wireless network name and password of the connected router. The kit can be relocated for optimal coverage, providing seamless network roaming without requiring users to repeat the set up process.

The TL-WPA4220KIT is available now with an MSRP of $59.99.

Actually there have been several good reports about the powerline network adaptors on the forum.

Yep, those work really well. These units are just a wifi extended at the other end. The title of the thread is the hilarious part, as it would lead you to think that it's able to magically turn your power lines into giant wifi antennas.

I recently bought and installed one of these in my studio:

It works incredibly well... repeats and boosts my home wireless signal. I bought it at Wal-Mart for $24.
