Network Question - Powerline - Steam Streaming-- Stuck :(.

[bledd]

So the fact i am getting 75MB/s transfer rate between a file on 2 machines on the network?

You're getting around 9MB/s, not 75MB/s

Confusing bits with Bytes again.

You aren't getting 75MB/s, you're getting 75Mb/s. This difference between B(tye) and b(it) in this context really matters.

Getting 200Mbps from a set of AV500 adapters (however close they are) is getting into miracle territory. You'd usually expect 50Mbps-ish on a good day.

They've always worked well for me, previously had bad experiences with older adaptors but the Dlink ones I've got are rock solid and hold 25MB/s for big transfers no bother.

okay to clear this up - i will go Ethernet route thanks for bearing with me.

Okay - been home and checked out the score, ethernet is a no no im afraid too many walls to channel too many floors to lift, i have OCD and cannot have wires on show and wont turn the front of my house into a wiring frenzy zone lol .

I have decided for the wireless route - The router is less than 20 feet away and registers full signal, can somebody review the below products and let me know which extender or USB dongle will be best with my router and can they tell me the MBPS i can realistically expect?

This is the router i own
https://www.asus.com/uk/Networking/RTAC66U/


Do i purchase this and hook it up to my PC via ethernet so i can still use WOL ( Would that work ? )

https://www.amazon.co.uk/ASUS-RP-AC...477062442&sr=8-2&keywords=asus+range+extender

or do i go for this.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/ASUS-Gener...-ac56+usb+wireless+adapter+-+ac1300+dual+band

The signal strength is at its strongest the distance i will be using it, so i don't think much loss etc. Can i stream 4K with any of the above or is it saturated?

* Update * - just purchased this - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/asus-usb-ac68-dual-band-ac1900-usb-wi-fi-adapter-nw-106-as.html < hopefully quick enough ?

Hi Guys,

i am a little stuck again !

The new network adapter has arrived and i am not completly convinced its working as it should or , maybe something i have missed setup wise?

The specs state a 1900 combined transfer rate, if you see the attached files ? can you give me an idea if everything is working even closely to what it's meant to be ?

Can you give me an idea if these are the speeds i should be expecting?
Cheers,
Ryan

All sorted , reset my router now pulling 400 Mbps as read and 150 as write.
