1200Mbps! Perfect for Bandwidth Demanding Activities

With its advanced HomePlug AV2 technology, TL-PA8030P KIT is introducing a powerline generation for even faster data transmission in the home network.

It uses any two electrical wire lines within a 3 wire network to boost performance.

3 Gigabit Ports for Maximum Connectivity

With 3 gigabit Ethernet ports, TL-PA8030P KIT can simultaneously connect up to 3 wired-only devices. This makes the TL-PA8030P KIT the perfect home entertainment companion. Connect any 3 devices from smart TVs and games consoles to NAS boxes and computers to the Internet at the same time. Just plug the Ethernet cable into the powerline and away you go!

Extra Power Socket for Additional Devices

Where sockets are at a premium, the TL-PA8030P KIT with an integrated AC pass-through power socket, means the powerlines can be used like a traditional electrical socket. Plug your smart TV or games consoles into the powerlines, as if it were a normal plug socket. No socket needs to go to waste. The built-in noise filter helps to prevent electrical signal noise from affecting powerline performance.

Plug and play, no configuration required

TL-PA8030P KIT is easy to use as follow: 1. Plug a powerline adapter into a wall socket and connect it to the router, via an Ethernet cable. 2. Plug another powerline adapter into a wall socket in another room and connect it to your Internet enabled device via Ethernet - and you are done! The powerline adapters will automatically connect to extend your network. The “Pair” buttons on the powerline can also be utilized for securing or managing multiple powerline adapters in your home powerline network.

Not trying to dump on the thread, but in the interests of accuracy and fairness, in my experience, these really are not suitable for gaming. General web browsing and downloads perhaps, but they drop the connection far too frequently to rely upon. A wired connection or wireless would be better.

I've not had any problems with these for gaming yet, may sound bias as I am staff, but I have this exact pair, and I play CS:GO constantly on them with no drop outs, lag or any other inconveniences.

Are you talking about these particular sets? Or is it a different model that you had before?
 
As an OcUK employee you would!! lol :D

Of course, but I mention this particular set as I purchased these for myself a few weeks ago. But from seeing other replies from people who have the same set seem happy with them too for gaming. :)

Unfortunately I cannot comment on the other models, as I've not tried them.
