    Powerline died - should I replace it with a wireless router link?

    The AV2000s arrived last evening, but sadly they perform even worse than AV1300s did. According to the tplcutility, they have established connection at 1279 Mbps, the ethernet ports on both sides negotiated 1000Full, but the actual throughput measured with iperf is barely 80-90 Mbps. I have even...

    Powerline died - should I replace it with a wireless router link?

    Thank you so much for all the links - that's precisely what I was looking for - some real world usage tests rather than bunch of synthetic benchmarks done in a lab. While I am not doing much gaming, I do a lot of videoconferencing and the 'lower latency' argument may be something that tips the...

    Powerline died - should I replace it with a wireless router link?

    All of these are way out of budget for now but definitely being considered - I just wasn't too convinced if Wifi 6 is going to be that much faster (over wifi 5) in my specific case. I will still be on the lookout for any good deals (RT-AX68U costs £345, RT-AX86U £210 and GT-AX6000 around £270)...

    Powerline died - should I replace it with a wireless router link?

    The circuit breakers are clearly labelled: both sides of the powerline adapters are connected behind the same circuit breaker (labelled just 'Sockets'). I wonder if there may be some bad connection on one of the sockets. Yeah, once the AV2000s arrive I will do some further testing - maybe...

    Powerline died - should I replace it with a wireless router link?

    I think it's UK standard RCD circuit here, but per-room circuits might explain poor performance. Sadly it's all hardwood floors, but that is not a biggest part of the problem - I could just run the cable along the skirting boards. The bigger issue is that the storage cupboard is pretty much...

    Powerline died - should I replace it with a wireless router link?

    Yeah, I kind of lost trust in TP-Link - it's the 2nd pair that has failed now, but I guess it's good enough for the price. Sadly mine provided only 130 Mbps and that's just in next room over the relatively new (5 years) wiring. Thanks for your input though - the AV2000 are cheap enough to give...

    Powerline died - should I replace it with a wireless router link?

    First, a little bit of background on how my current setup looks like: Internet through cable modem in the living room, 250 Mbps and unlikely to be upgraded to more than 500 This modem is plugged into a powerline adapter (TP Link AV1300) which delivers the signal to the storage cupboard In the...
