TP-Link TL-PA7017P KIT AV1000 Gigabit Passthrough Powerline Starter Kit

TP-Link AV1000 Gigabit Passthrough Powerline Starter Kit (TL-PA7017P KIT) - 3 Years Local Warranty

The TL-PA7017P KIT is a two-adapter powerline pair that carries your network over existing electrical wiring, with a passthrough socket on each unit so the wall point stays usable. It is the compact AV1000 passthrough option in TP-Link's range: one Gigabit Ethernet port per adapter, a single Pair button for setup, and no software needed to get a link running.

AV1000 Powerline Built on HomePlug AV2

TP-Link markets this kit at up to 1000 Mbps on the powerline side. That figure appears in the page's feature copy rather than in the specification table, so we quote it as TP-Link presents it and note the distinction. The underlying standards are published clearly: HomePlug AV2, HomePlug AV, IEEE 1901, IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3u and IEEE 802.3ab. TP-Link's own footnote is explicit that maximum powerline rates are physical rates derived from the HomePlug specification and that real throughput varies with electrical interference, traffic, network overhead, AFCI breakers and whether the two adapters sit on separate circuits.

A Passthrough Socket on Every Adapter

Each TL-PA7017P plugs into a wall point and gives the socket back through an integrated passthrough outlet, so a lamp, a charger or a desk power strip can still use it. TP-Link does not publish an amperage rating for the passthrough socket on this model — the 13 A figure published for the larger TL-PA9020P belongs to that model only and is not carried across here. The adapter itself is rated at a maximum of 3.26 W, typical 2.58 W, and 0.83 W on standby.

One Gigabit Port, 128-bit AES and Pair-Button Setup

The Interface row reads "Gigabit Ethernet Port" — one port per adapter, not two. Powerline traffic is secured with 128-bit AES encryption and the network is formed by pressing the Pair button on each adapter; no configuration screen is needed for a basic link. TP-Link's tpPLC utility is available for Windows XP through 10 and macOS 10.7 or later for anyone who wants to see the link rate or rename the network.

Compact Enough for a Crowded Socket Wall

At 58 x 42 x 95 mm the adapter is small for a passthrough model, which matters where sockets sit behind furniture or in a tight riser cupboard. Rated range is 300 metres over the electrical circuit, and the operating window is 0°C~40°C at 10%~90% non-condensing humidity — comfortable for Singapore indoor use, though the adapter should not be boxed in without airflow.

Ideal For

Singapore homes and small offices that need a wired link to one back room, apartments where drilling for Cat 6 is not allowed, and anyone who cannot afford to lose a wall socket to the adapter. Supplied by SourceIT with local Singapore warranty, GST invoice and volume pricing on request.

Note: TP-Link publishes no net weight, no storage-temperature row and no FCC certification for this model, and does not state the passthrough socket's current rating. Those rows are omitted here rather than filled from another model. The specification table's Compatibility row reads "Compatible with any powerline adapters/extenders and routers" while the page footnote restricts compatibility to HomePlug AV and AV2 adapters; both are reproduced below as published.
