Answer:	So we have an update to this. Our older version the UE300 is not compatible with the Nintendo Switch. The New version the UE305 is compatible with the The Nintendo Switch though. We did merge the SKUs so it might be hard to tell which is which so the simplest way to do this is by the color of the chassis the UE300 is white and the UE305 is black. If you are looking for Switch compatibility look for the adapter that is black.

User questions & answers

Question:	How can I know this adapter is able to work for my laptop
Answer:	It should. I haven’t used a pedal, but I know it powers my headphones.
Question:	What is the warranty duration
Answer:	This power adapter has DC output of 12 V at 1.5 A. Several similar adapters with the same output are listed on Google as being suitable for the Yamaha DJX keyboard. So, I think YES, it will work OK. Note in my review that I like the long 8.4 ft output cord, but I wish it had an indicator light to show that it is on. Also note the unusual 'sideways' configuration that uses less length along a typical power strip.

With speed of up to 600Mbps, TL-PA4010 KIT enables heavy-bandwidth applications like HD streaming, on-line gaming and large file downloading, turning your home into a robust and high-speed networking.

The terms “AV600” and “600Mbps” are derived from applicable specifications and refer to the theoretical maximum physical-layer data transfer rate. Those terms are used on this product solely to indicate its compatibility with other “AV600” or “600Mbps” powerline devices. Actual data speeds vary and may be limited by the product’s Ethernet port and other network conditions such as data traffic, electrical noise, and wiring issues. For better performance, powerline devices should be deployed on the same electrical circuit and rated for the same HomePlug standard. A minimum of two powerline devices are required to establish a powerline connection. If you are uncertain about your network conditions, you should consult an IT professional to assist in selecting a networking product.

About power saving, actual power saved varies based on network conditions and environmental factors.

User questions & answers

Question:	Has anyone tried this setup with an extra wireless router at the end
Answer:	Yes. I have a Linsys N on mine. You have to disable the DHCP on the slave router. Also you need to assign a static IP on the router. Use something like 192.168.1.250. Then only plug into the ports with the line from the wall unit and not into the internet/supply port. If you have a 4 port router with 1 internet port, you have to use one of the ports for the service so you can hook up 3 other direct connects. You then have to rename the wireless on the "slave" router to exactly match any other wireless providing service same with password. You need to make it a duplicate router. Good luck
Question:	How secure this is? I assume it is not just limited to your house's internal circuit. Could it be accessed from outside the internal house circuit
Answer:	These systems are hackable, but it takes a lot of work by a good hacker. Here's an excellent treatise on this subject: bentasker dot co dot uk/documentation/security/282-infiltrating-a-network-via-powerline-homeplugav-adapters As this treatise says at the end, TP-Link has released a firmware update to fix this issue, and that new items leaving the factory would not be affected. Users with affected devices can download the firmware update from tp-link dot com/en/.
Question:	Can you add additional powerline devices to network
Answer:	Of course you can but remember the speed its divided in the number of devices conected. your maximin badwith will allways be 500 mbps in the powerline network
Question:	So this is a wifi repeater and it turns your electrical system into ethernet cable too
Answer:	The TL-WPA4220 KIT allows you to expand your home's Ethernet connectivity using the existing electrical wiring within your walls, while also providing Wi-Fi signal broadcast at the Powerline Wi-Fi Adapter (TL-WPA4220) location. Simply plug the TL-PA4010 (smaller unit) into a wall outlet near your router and connect it to the router via Ethernet, then plug the TL-WPA4220 unit into a wall outlet at the desired location.

User questions & answers

Question:	What chipset is this model? Intel? Realtek
Answer:	Short answer NO.Long: You will lose approximate 20dB for each circuit breaker you pass over, since 10 elec outlets can be on ONE (1) circuit, it is possible to have electrical outlets used for powerline can be on more than one circuit (most times unless long distances involved, 40dB loss will not be a problem,, compared with running cat5e or cat6 with new ethernet wire) ,, Electrical interference is larger issue depending on what's being used on 20 elect. outlets on 2 circuits,, than 40dB of so loss in signal The electrical devices on outlets in circuit can cause interference (normal root of folks unhappy but it is POSSIBLE to prevent hair dryer from being used when using etc. MOST unlikely to use more than two circuits BUT it depends on your home.. apartment etc. (Which is why when my home was remodeled. personally INSISTED the electrician use two electrical outlets on wall where entertainment center sits, EACH outlet has it's own circuit on the main elect. panel.. NO other outlets, switches etc on either of those two circuits... Most panels are large enough to do this when place is built. Doing outlets for stereo/tv/ sound system/ etc. on their own CIRCUIT at panel, good idea even when NOT using powerline that prevents issues with sound systems, tv, etc. -advantage of being General Contractor experienced with buildings,, still get burned ,,, as later found out he wired a LOT of outlets in multiple rooms, including refrig outlet....
Question:	Anyone use this with their firestick 4K and it work as expected with higher than 100Mbps speeds? Did it improve latency being hardwired vs wifi
Answer:	These modulate a WiFi signal(b,g,ac) on top of the existing electrical wiring in your building or home. Essentially using the wiring as both the antennae and the medium through which it transmits. You won’t see the signal on WiFi devices as it doesn’t transmit very far outside of the electrical wiring. By modulating the signal onto the wiring it reduces interfernce from other sources of 2.4Ghz radio waves, such as a microwave or other WiFi access points, it’s more secure, and has slightly reduced latency versus WiFi. Each plug you add will have the same effect as normal WiFi devices by halving each device’s bandwidth and slightly increasing network latency. It’s not as good as a wired ethernet connection but is orders of magnitude better than a standard WiFi connection. Another solution would be wireless a mesh networks using separate 5Ghz backhaul radios. But for one or two point-to-point connections, this is still the best option short of running cat6 through your attic.
Question:	Is it compatible with HP
Answer:	neither, because you need output dc 12v 2.5a, our is only 12v 1a, cannot offer enough power to your device, sorry
Question:	Is it compatible with a Nintendo Switch
Answer:	please check your original adapter output first, if it is output 5v 2a or lower 2a, then you can use it, or you cannot, thanks

User questions & answers

Question:	Any verifiable use with macos 11.1 big sur without additional drivers
Answer:	Had it hooked up to my hp elitebook and hp pavillion laptops and worked as it should.
Question:	Does it work with MacBook pro mid
Answer:	It is NOT compatible with the Nintendo Switch. Got it (silly me going off the product name/description) and tried it in all 3 USB ports, rebooted Switch, my internet switch, and router and still the Switch never detected the connection. If your intention for this product is to use with the Switch DO NOT PURCHASE IT! This question was conveniently hidden when I ordered it.
Question:	Does it work with macOS 10.15 Catalina
Answer:	Yes, you may add more units to your HomePlug network. However, it will not just work out of the box. You must follow the manufacturers instructions on adding an additional adapter, which involves pressing a button on one of the existing units to initiate a "pairing" mode that shares the encryption key with the new adapter. This may or may not break your existing pair's link, but then it's as simple as sharing the encryption key again using the same procedure. I at one time had four different adapters all connected to each other in my house. The safest bet to get the most speed and reliability is to get another adapter of the exact same make/model. But they usually aren't sold individually...
Question:	Can I use the Ethernet adapter and the usb hubs at the same time
Answer:	These are not either a transmitter or a receiver, they are transceivers. Each unit both transmits and receives. You can have multiple units and they will all communicate with each other. Specs say "Max. group node up to 14 nodes".
