The TP-Link TL-WPA4220KIT worked as described. In a matter of minutes I had unpacked, configured and extended my home network.

Notebook computers may have popularized wireless networking in homes and business, but in the past few years the surge in mobile computing on smartphones and tablets has turned that convenience into a requirement.

We look at the WPA4220, a hybrid Powerline Wi-Fi extender from TP-LINK. Read on as Tyler tells us all about the kit and if it's worth buying or not.

Manufacturers tell me that wireless extenders are big sellers. I suppose it's no wonder, since most everyone wishes their Wi-Fi coverage were better than it is. Most extenders, however, have one major weakness-they reduce the bandwidth of the "extended" signal by half.

As our needs for a connected home increase and the number of devices in use at home grows it's inevitable that our networking needs also grow, sometimes expanding isn't as straight forward as we'd like.
