TP-Link AV1300 Gigabit Passthrough Powerline Starter Kit

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

At **£64.36 ex-VAT**, this kind of TP-Link **AV1300 passthrough** starter kit is usually good value for a *specific, boring problem*: getting a stable Ethernet link to a place where Wi‑Fi is patchy but you don’t want to run cable. The “passthrough” part is especially handy in busy offices/warehouses because you don’t lose the wall socket to a big block adapter. In day-to-day use it’s often the difference between unreliable video calls/VoIP and something that just works—particularly for printers, basic network gear, guest networking, or a small back-office setup.

That said, I wouldn’t buy this if your wiring is messy or the link is across different circuits. Powerline performance can be great in one building and mediocre in the next, even when the devices “should” be compatible on paper—so you’re taking a bit of a gamble in older or split electrical systems. Also, if you need consistent high throughput for lots of users (or you’re backhauling several APs), Powerline is rarely the best long-term architecture. If you’re looking for a **quick, low-effort Ethernet extension** with a sensible budget, it’s a solid choice—just sanity-check the building’s electrical layout first.
