All devices within the network should be able to support these internet speeds (i.e.

These speeds are, of course, contingent on a few caveats: Related Reading: The Difference Between Kasa, Tapo and TP-Link (Which Is Discontinued?) 2.4 Ghz vs 5 Ghz WiFi, and Why it Mattersĥ Ghz WiFi was announced as part of the 802.11n wireless standard in October 2009, offering speeds up to 1,300 Mbps compared to 450-600 Mbps in 2.4 Ghz. Many early smart plugs only allow for a single device to be plugged into them (they were essentially a pass-through extension socket), but nowadays you can also purchase smart strips – an extension strip with multiple smart-controllable sockets. (if you know a device is connecting through the Powerlines and not directly to the Sky.Philips Hue smart plug with physical button on top I think you could even try removing the cable between the extender and the router and see if you can still connect to the internet. It can extend ANY WiFi network, if it has paired with it, even if it is cabled into either the Vodafone or Sky router. means that the Extender is capable of being paired with your WiFi, copying the settings and then re-broadcasting it.

then you would get a connection to the internet. If you then had another adapter or extender plugged in and you connect your laptop (or TV) with a cable to it. No WiFi settings are transferred over that connection. Cabling it into the router creates a wired network between the router and the Powerline adapter (or extender).

(For example, if you have a TV on the Vodafone Router and a Media server on the Sky Wifi - then you'll be running all that traffic across both routers.) Tho you would want to be careful with traffic management. If the Sky router is passing DHCP requests back to the Vodafone router on x.x.1.1. It is not necessary to disable the WiFi on the Vodafone Router - just use different SSIDs and connect what you need to the Sky WiFi. Do I now have the best of both worlds? Or might this setup be insecure or unstable over time?

The only thing that puzzles me is that the PC ethernet connection has the name of the Sky SSID, regardless of which router it’s connected to. Using the LAN sockets, linked the two routers by a short cable, linked the Sky router with the base TP-Link powerline plug, and linked the PC to the Sky router – although that last link seemed to work fine on the Voda one too.įinally, used the TP utility to link each of my powerline wi-fi adaptors to the Sky SSID.

Named an SSID and set up a password on Advanced/LAN IP Setup page - inserted IP address of 192.168 1.2 (Voda router is 192.168.1.1) and unticked “use router as DCHP server” unchecked “Enable IPv6 on LAN side”.Here’s what I did (might not be exactly in sequence!) for anyone to comment or improve on, or if it’s any help: However, I’m not sure I have used all the right settings. It has worked really well and was much simpler than I had feared. The powerline adaptors were working intermittently if at all.Īfter checking some internet posts including on this forum, I decided to try to connect my old Sky router to the Vodafone one and link the sky router with the TP-Link connectors. And while the Sky router (SR102) had been working pretty well, the range of the Vodafone router itself was extremely disappointing as you say, and as noted in many places on this forum. When I moved my broadband contract from Sky to Vodafone last week (due to tempting discount for mobile users), I was rather shocked to see that my new Vodafone router (THG3000) was not working properly with my TP-Link powerline adaptors.
