Sobald entfernt reagiert nicht wird sogar nicht erkannt. Habe 5 Steckdosen ausprobiert. Gar nicht zu empfehlen ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-02-08, version 1.6.9* Will not connect with powerline. Device works app does not ### 1/5 — Overly complicated to change settings *2026-01-18, version 1.6.9* Overly complicated to change settings, not reliable ### 1/5 — Dont waste your money *2026-01-07, version 1.6.9* Does not work ### 1/5 — Schlechte App *2025-12-29, version 1.6.9* Alles ist verbunden und trotzdem kann kein Gerät gefunden werden. ### 1/5 — Application inutile *2025-12-04* À peine arrivé sur l’application, elle arrive même pas à capter comme quoi elle a accès aux paramètres wi-fi, en esquivant, l’étape, il trouve même pas le boîtier alors que je suis connecté. C’est une application codé avec ce que je pense … ### 4/5 — Funktioniert mit meinem POE Adapter *2025-11-23* Bei mir hat die App sofort funktioniert. Man muss nur den Netzwerk Zugriff in den IOS Einstellungen erlauben. 4 Sterne nur weil es keine einheitliche APP für alle TP Netzwerk Geräte gibt ### 1/5 — Useless *2025-11-18, version 1.6.9* My device WPA4220 not in list of ‘compatible devices’. Sort yourself out TP. It’s your device after all! ### 1/5 — Basura total *2025-11-14, version 1.6.9* Basura ### 1/5 — Einfach nur kake *2025-11-07, version 1.6.9* Ich habe es nur ein man raus gesteckt dan hat nichts mehr geglabt bitte um Hilfe ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work. *2025-10-31, version 1.6.9* It cannot detect my TP Link devices. Using it on the iPad on WIFI. Tried it on the Mac (M2) as it’s compatible with Mac Silicon, on both WIFI and ethernet connection. Still no detected devices (I have 3 of them). Trying to work out why, when I’m on a gigabit internet connection, that the EoP units won’t run at more than 80/90mbits/sec, despite having a 1000/100 mbps service. The cable run between the first/host unit which connects directly into the router and the second one is about 10 metres or 30 feet roughly. There are no fridges, microwaves, pumps or other inductive loads on this circuit. It’s cheaper to have a cabler run Cat 5E ethernet cabling than to purchase these units. Pity. ### 1/5 — Usless *2025-10-01, version 1.6.6* Just can’t access any of the screens shown here just pointless app that does nothing ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2025-09-23, version 1.6.6* Brought the base plus 4 others in the hope to get a half decent wi-fi signal in my garage might just as well used a piece of string for the use these are, followed instructions absolutely no idea if they are working or not but no wi-fi in the garage disappointed is an understatement don’t waste your money ### 2/5 — Closed loop *2025-09-19, version 1.6.6* Closed loop - sees TP link devices OK but neither are detected by my iPhone 13 wifi search ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2025-09-10, version 1.6.6* TP link are a complete con they never work. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work Due To LAN Permission Issue *2025-08-07, version 1.6.6* Ask for local area network permission and then opens settings, where there is no local network option. I tried to manually enable from local area network settings, but the app isn’t listed??? Useless if I can’t do this - please can this be fixed ### 1/5 — Pésimo funcionamiento *2025-06-28, version 1.6.1* No detecta los dispositivos PLC ### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht *2025-06-24, version 1.6.1* Es gelingt nicht irgendwelche TP-Link Adapter einzusehen. ### 1/5 — Does not connect *2025-05-02, version 1.6.1* Does not connect following instructions, app does not see device. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — useless *2026-07-27, version 1.6.9* literally useless, do not buy ### 1/5 — Not good for garage to house *2026-07-12, version 1.6.9* Junk. Useless devices, not easy to configure. Really a waste of money ### 1/5 — A faff to set up *2026-07-04, version 1.6.9* After many attempts ( with instructions not matching my device buttons ) I got the dander to provide internet . BUT none of the methods suggested enable me to clone my network name . So the product is useless as the whole point is to extend the existing network not create new one , I’ve tried everything web pages , WPS pairing and Tp app s none of the methods work . Very unhappy . Product returned ### 1/5 — Bizarre *2026-06-16* Impossible que les boîtiers apparaissent dans l’application Que faire ? ### 1/5 — Muy malo *2026-04-11, version 1.6.9* No funciona ### 1/5 — Mangelhaft *2026-04-09, version 1.6.9* Leider sind sehr viele Geräte von TP-Link nicht mit der App bedienbar! Bei den wenigen Texten sollte die App auch mehrsprachig zur Verfügung stehen!! Da besteht extrem viel Verbesserungspotential!!! ### 1/5 — Does not work for power line adapter *2026-03-17, version 1.6.9* Notworking for power line adapter. Seems useless. Only slightly better than the version their website which doesn’t run at all. Support is difficult by chat and seems a waste of time. ### 1/5 — Rarely write reviews *2026-03-07, version 1.6.9* This called for a single star. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2026-02-21, version 1.6.9* Does not work where’s the upgrade ### 1/5 — tp plc *2026-02-21, version 1.6.9* no funciona ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Works perfectly *2025-04-24, version 1.6.1* Easy to use and very helpful. If it doesn’t work to you, enable Local Network on settings. ### 5/5 — It works perfectly *2025-02-27, version 1.6.1* You need to grant permissions on the network or it won’t detect anything. Follow the instructions and it will work like a charm. In 5 minutes I setup the settings, changing them to WPA2/WPA3 for the 5G wi-fi, saved, set a password. All perfect! ### 5/5 — Good *2024-09-19, version 1.6.0* It works for my ac wifi extender ### 5/5 — No issues *2024-05-27, version 1.6.0* 26/05/2024 I was reluctant to download when I saw the low score however the application did everything I needed to be able to update and configure my TL-WPA8631P without a single error or problem, for that reason it gets a 5* rating. Regards. ### 5/5 — Cured my problem! *2023-01-02, version 1.4.2* I was unable to get a usable Wi-Fi signal from my router in the house to my attached woodshed. As soon as I walked out the door of the aluminum clad shed the signal was usable; walk inside the door and the Wi-Fi signal was dead. Used a 200 mb power line adapter to router, but could only manage a poor signal to laptop in shed. Monday after Christmas installed this product, set up Mesh configuration and now have excellent wi-fi to phone, IPad and laptop through wood shop and anywhere in the house! This was an excellent solution—so easy to configure to TP-Link router. ### 5/5 — Solo 100mb *2022-11-22, version 1.4.2* Buen aparato fácil de manejar, pero solo va a 100mb de 600 que tengo ### 5/5 — AV1300 Wi-fi extender *2022-07-11, version 1.4.0* Absolutely awesome products easy to set up and modify settings. Great price and value also there are a lot more expensive ways to do what these do bargain!!! ### 5/5 — A mí me ha funcionado *2022-06-16, version 1.3.12* Funciona con el TP WPA8630P ### 5/5 — Inteligente *2022-02-04, version 1.3.7* Va con mi App de mi iPad tp plc ### 5/5 — Useful App (version 1.3.7) *2021-12-25, version 1.3.7* Installation was easy. It works as expected. It does what it says it would do in the description. I am using it with tplink model TL-WPA8631P KIT, which is excellent. This app allows to administer your tplink network at the basic level. It also gives you access to the web interfase for a more complete configuration. Just remember that the password to enter the web interfase is the same one as the 2.4 Ghz or 5 GHz networks. This password comes in the label on the side of the extender unit, and you can change this password with this app. Overall, I am very satisfied with this app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
