TL-PA8010P AV1200 Gigabit Passthrough Powerline Adapter
Chapter 1 Introduction
This device is an AV1200 Gigabit Passthrough Powerline Adapter which transforms your house’s
existing electrical wiring into a ubiquitous networking infrastructure. Simply plug this AV1200 Gigabit
Passthrough Powerline Adapter into an ordinary AC power outlet which will easily extend your
Cable/xDSL broadband connection or existing Ethernet (LAN) network to any other electrical outlet in
any room of a house without the need of any new cabling.
This powerline adapter supports up to 1200Mbps data rate over the existing household power circuit.
With data rates of 1200Mbps, full multimedia application can easily be supported throughout the whole
house in addition to Internet access. This powerline adapter uses the existing power lines installed in a
home as a path to transmit digital data, voice, audio and video between devices.
To ensure data communication’s security and multimedia applications, this powerline adapter supports
built-in 128-bit AES encryption and Quality of Service (QoS) features.
The new powerline adapter TL-PA8010P from TP-LINK provides extra convenience and better
performance for your home network with its integrated electrical socket and mains filter. The common
problem of wasting an electrical outlet is solved and additional terminal devices or multiple sockets can
be connected to the adapter just like to a normal wall socket. What’s more, the data transmission in the
network can be significantly improved by the integrated mains filter. With minimum setup, you can install
and use this powerline adapter within minutes. The adapter adds two useful functions.
1． Existing connection with a new unassociated device added via the Pair Button.
2． Reset to default setting via the tpPLC Utility or the Pair Button.
Note:
TP-LINK tpPLC Utility is provided to manage powerline devices. For detailed instructions, please refer to
the tpPLC Utility’s User Guide.
