Setting up a tp-link TL-PA7010P KIT V2, Arriving Thursday March 26


Setting this up

  • Plug in one unit in the basement and connect it with an ethernet cable directly to the Verizon(?) cable modem with wifi.
  • Plug in one unit in Susan's upstairs office
  • Plug these directly into the wall sockets, NOT a power strip (which can plug into the power socket on this device)

  • Remove the wifi access point from the stairwell and bring it upstairs to plug into the upstairs unit with an ethernet cable.
  • If this works out, consider ordering two more with wifi

    • one can plug in at Susan's living room desk, the other in the guest bedroom
