Homeplugs

[Tippa]

Hello everyone,

I didn't know what sub-forum to put this in so please forgive me if I havent put it in the right place.

I'm thinking about buying these TP-Link-TL-PA211KIT-200Mbps-Powerline-Ethernet (Click to See)
I only choose this pair because it seems like a decent price and it has 5 stars

Do routers need particular homeplugs or will I be okay with any pair?

I always appreciate help from anyone who gives to me! So your help will be greatly appreciated

Any pair of homeplugs will work with any router. Just make sure if you get more homeplugs later on, you'll need the same brand and model

I have those, so does my brother. They are excellent. I would definitely recommend.

Only thing I would say, they only come with 1.2m (4ft) ethernet cables, so you may need to get longer cables for connected devices.

No,routers dont need a particular pair of homeplugs,obviously same brand & model is a good idea,
the ones you have selected will be fine.
