There really is nothing easier to setup than a Powerline Adapter. Quite why they don’t move the ports to the bottom we have no idea. Our gripe with most powerline adapters is also present here with the top mounted ports, with several cables sprouting out of the top it looks very unsightly. We haven’t seen Fast Ethernet ports on powerline adapters for a long time, TP-LINK have really dug out some old tech with this set, but to be fair that is probably to keep the price point as low as they have managed to do.

Strangely the standalone TL-PA4020P adapter is rated at 600Mbps whereas the one included in this set has been dropped to 500Mbps.ĭisappointingly, whilst both adapters include a decent amount of Ethernet ports (2 on the 4020 and 3 on the 4530), they are only Fast Ethernet ports, which are limited to 100Mbps. TP-LINK appear to have mixed two generations of adapters together here as the non-wireless 4020P has a harder edged design similar to the older generation adapters, whereas the 4530 is the more modern rounded edge design. Both follow the familiar mold of a standard hard white plastic, fairly chunky but with a well-built feel to them. The WPA4530 Kit includes two 500Mbps rated adapters, a TL-PA4020P with AC pass-through and the TL-WPA4530 which includes both 2.4Ghz 802.11 b/g/n and 5Ghz 802.11ac wireless access.
