Home plugs

[MM-Seat]

Hello,

I bought some TP Link 200mbps homeplugs a good while ago. Never seemed to have had any issue with them. Just upgraded to FTTC and noticed that I only get half the speed on my computer as the office computer downstairs. Will this issue most likely be the plugs? Therefore necessitating the buying of faster plugs.

Thanks

Yes, you'll need faster ones. Go for the fastest you can afford. Devolo are very good too.

Run a cable, far better

But not always practical.

The speeds rated on Home plugs don't really seem to mean much. In very happy with my TP-LINK ones but I get no where near the rated value.

When I was still at my parents house they did a re-wire and the speed basically tripped.

Bledd unfortunately doesn't seem to understand (despite repeated attempts) that some people might have circumstances which prevent them from running ethernet cable all around their home.

Just avoid TP-Link adaptors as they have disconnection issues.

Powerline adaptors are fine. Apparently they interfere with broadband but I've tested their affect several times and I have found no difference with them in use or not.

I can second this as im using TP-link powerline adapters 500mb ones and get d/c isssues often and have to resync a lot. Bought top end 1200mb devolo powerlines instead. just waiting on them now.
