Review: Pensaba solo comprar un extensor de rango simple pero esos solo funcionan si está cerca del módem o router inalámbrico. A parte la mayoría son de distintas marcas y la verdad linksys en este tipo de aparatos es la mejor (aunque cuesta un poco más cara pero lo vale). En fin, recomiendo tanto el producto como la marca para ampliar el rango del internet. Lo único malo es que no tiene un manual de instalación sencillo y en español y no hay videos en línea pero siguiendo las instrucciones en inglés, se vuelve sencillo instalarlo una vez que conoces cómo funciona. ## Features - Refer the installation instruciton at the bottom of the page - Get the flexibility of a wired connection while simultaneously broadcasting a Wi-Fi signal - Easily add more wireless devices to your network by pressing the WPS button ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0087O6AQE | | Brand | Linksys | | Compatible Devices | Desktop | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 3.8 out of 5 stars (432) | | Data Transfer Rate | 200 Megabits Per Second | | External Testing Certification | FCC, IC, CE, HomePlug AV | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00163120603053 | | Hardware Interface | Ethernet | | Item Weight | 0.25 Kilograms | | Mfr Part Number | PLWK400-NP | | Model Number | PLWK400-NP | | UPC | 172304353608 808112745853 012304117841 809185825633 807030506553 809385677124 809186282268 168141652677 745883594313 100177341743 745883597048 163120603053 631058270451 804066786874 115970742154 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Linksys - **Compatible devices:** Desktop - **Data transfer rate:** 200 Megabits Per Second - **Hardware interface:** Ethernet - **Item weight:** 0.25 Kilograms ## Images ![Linksys Powerline AV Wireless Network Extender (PLWK400) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71OJwNCuEWL.jpg) ![Linksys Powerline AV Wireless Network Extender (PLWK400) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81eEwHyEmhL.jpg) ![Linksys Powerline AV Wireless Network Extender (PLWK400) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71EqGUq24-L.jpg) ![Linksys Powerline AV Wireless Network Extender (PLWK400) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81O47ANN+WL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: My Verizon DSL modem/WiFi router (brand:Westell) is located in my 2nd floor of my home. The wifi signal is very weak to my basement where my TV and streaming devices are located. Will this network extender resolve my problem? Has anyone used it with a Verizon DSL modem/router and found it working fine?** A: I am also with Verizon and have a Westell branded modem. I use a Netgear WNDR4500 router. The power line unit is connected on the APC on the gound floor and the receiver is on the second story off a surge protected outlet. The unit works very well as I get a direct connection to my desktop and the Kindles, Nooks, iPads, phones, etc all receive a good connection. The desktop only received about half the broadband that a pc connected via cat5e, but it is adequate for surfing and homework. If the house wiring is in good condition you should have no issues with the unit. **Q: Do both units have to plug into the same electrical circuit?** A: No, They do not have to be on the same Circuit. However... they do have to be on the same phase of your electrical box. Phases usually alternate like so: Phase1: breaker 1 & 2, Phase2: breaker 3 & 4, Phase1: breaker 5 & 6, Phase2: breaker 7 & 8, Etc... the reason for this is there is no continuity between the phases (they are not connected to each other) therefore the signal from plug A on phase 1, will not be connected to Plug B on phase 2. **Q: Does this kit come with cables?** A: What's in the box? This product comes with everything you need to connect up to 4 Ethernet enabled devices to your network over existing AC power outlets. *1 Linksys PLE400 Powerline AV 1-Port Network Adapter *1 Linksys PLS400 Powerline AV 4-Port Network Adapter *Quick Install Guide *2 Ethernet Cables (the included Cables are only be 3 foot) **Q: Will it work if plugged into a powerstrip/surge protector or does it need to be plugged directly into an outlet?** A: Hi J. BolusIt is not recommended to put a Linksys Powerline device behind a powerstrip or surge protector. Although there have been users that were able to successfully make it work behind surge protectors, we still recommend plugging Powerline adapters directly into a power outlet.

I was surprised to find out that the throughput over these powerline adapters had dropped by over 50% since I originally reviewed them. I've tried resetting them and reinstalling the firmware, but the problem remains. The only thing that may have changed was the fact that I accidentally pressed the "encryption" button on one of the adapters a few days ago (around the time I increased my internet speed with Comcast), but resetting the adapter should have cleared that. The adapters still push around 90Mbps in the same room, but this number drops significantly as I move the adapters away from each other. Where I was originally getting over 90Mbps with the adapters on different floors, now I'm getting around 40Mbps with the adapters in the same position. Since I now have a 50Mbps internet connection, I'm a bit disappointed in that these adapters are now the bottleneck. I'll look into the issue some more and may contact support, but I won't knock off any stars off my original review until I find a cause. ORIGINAL REVIEW FROM NOVEMBER 19, 2013: This review is for the 4-port Linksys Adapters, and not the wireless extender. Not sure why my review is tagged that way. Just some quick background info that may help some users: There are basically two ratings for powerline adapters: 200Mbps and 500Mbps (a few other speed ratings may be found, but 200 and 500 are the standards). I've used a few different powerline adapters over the years, and believe that currently, the 200Mbps-rated adapters are simply a better purchase than most the 500Mbps-rated adapters. Most of the higher rated adapters are pretty much a gimmick, in that while they are designed to meet the specifications for 500Mbps over the powerline, the adapters are often equipped with 10/100 ethernet ports. This basically means that while they could potentially push data at 500Mbps over the powerline, the bottleneck is the actual ethernet port on the adapter, which is limited to a measly 100 Mbps. I don't know if this is a cost-saving measure or a technical issue, but it looks like most manufacturers design, and market, their powerline adapters this way. I've also found that the 500Mbps adapters are more sensitive to more power-hungry devices on the same circuit. For example, if you have a power hog like a home elevator or a gym-quality treadmill, the 500Mbps may be more sensitive to that when in use. If speed over the powerline is truly what you're after, by all means spend the money and get a 500Mbps+ adapter, but make sure it has gigabit ports (and definitely use Cat 5e or 6 ethernet cables), or else you're just wasting your money. Along with the Linksys, I also considered the TP-LINK TL-PA4010KIT AV500 Nano Powerline Adapter Starter Kit, up to 500Mbps . It has great reviews, an attractive price, and can be purchased with a gigabit port. Unfortunately, TP-Link doesn't sell this model with a 4-port switch as Linksys does, which is why I went with the Linksys. If I only needed a single port, I would have gone with the TP-Link. Now onto the Linksys: I ended up purchasing the 4-port adapter kit. As is usually the case with powerline adapters from most of the big manufacturers, the setup was quick and simple--literally plug and play. As for real-world speed, I ran some iperf tests on my network (two Macs and an Asus RT-N16 router running Tomato firmware)... here are the results: - Both clients wired into the same 4-port powerline adapter (other adapter not used): 93.3 Mbps (my theoretical max) - Both clients wired into different adapters in same room, different outlets: 90.6 Mbps And with the adapters on different floors - Both clients wired, no router: 90.2 Mbps - Both clients wired, with router: 90.0 Mbps The speeds were very consistent in my tests--far more consistent than pushing data over wireless. After reading reviews of some 500Mbps adapters on the market, my test results showed that my speeds usually exceeded the ones reported by reviewers of many 500Mbps adapters. And a side note: don't pay attention to reviews using results from SpeedTest.net or other internet-based speed test service as a good measure of network adapters. Internet speeds have nothing to do with your home network speeds. Overall I'm very happy with the speeds, setup and consistency of these adapters. It's too early to tell if the adapters will keep up this performance over time, but so far it's very promising. ## Frequently Bought Together - Linksys Powerline AV Wireless Network Extender (PLWK400) - Cat 8 Ethernet Cable, 1.5Ft 3Ft 6Ft 10Ft 15Ft 20Ft 30Ft 40Ft 50Ft 60Ft 100Ft Heavy Duty High Speed Internet Network Cable, Professional LAN Cable Shielded in Wall, Indoor&Outdoor - DbillionDa Cat8 Ethernet Cable, Outdoor&Indoor, 6FT Heavy Duty High Speed 26AWG, 2000Mhz with Gold Plated RJ45 Connector, Weatherproof F/FTP UV Resistant for Router, Modem, PC, Gaming --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/629509912-linksys-powerline-av-wireless-network-extender-plwk400](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/629509912-linksys-powerline-av-wireless-network-extender-plwk400) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
