New Devolo Powerline Adapters now hitting 1200Mbps - Get super fast network around your house quickl
- Thread starter LordBarrass
- Start date
I have the Devolo dLAN 650 Triple Plus Starter Kit and this is what i get from these, i am on BT Infinity 80/20, Just to feed my tv/sky box, ps4, netflix etc, no problem.
This is only the speed that the adaptors are connected at. Your maximum data throughput will be nothing like that high.
My Devolo AV200 homeplugs connect at 186 but max throughput is about 45mbs

One of the things people don't read is that more than one set of adaptors and the system shares out the capacity.
If you have 500Mbps ones and you have 4 of them all connected then your going to get 125Mbps for each adaptor.
The higher speeds only generally matter if you want to do PC to PC transfers where you want as fast a connection as possible for stream and such.
@Spudgun do you mean 45Mbps or 45Mbs?

Do you mean Mbps and MB/sec?
question, I have moved into a new house, the house has a circuit breaker and looks like it might have different ring mains for the 2 floors (ground/first) is there a possibility that these will be connected some how and that I might be able to put one of these by the router down stairs and one upstairs for the computer, and be able to connect?

I am hoping to get my samples and then I can take them home and test them. As they are in short supply I am just waiting on a free unit. I wouldn't want to take one away from a customer.
You should be fine, powerline adapters can communicate between rings, in fact some people in older houses can even pick up their neighbours networks hence why they started coming with encryption like WiFi.
Tthe bottlenecks occur because homeplug uses a bus topology not star, so the more devices added to the bus the more impact it has on speed.

New houses should have cat 5/6 hardwired as standard but they don't.
I love old houses with useless coaxial TV cable running all over them, just splice one end to a roll of Cat5e and pull the coax out the other end until you get Cat5

rented accommodation and no kids here I just run the wire along skirting boards.

Planning to upgrade my old "200mbps" homeplugs sometime soon, and these seem to be the best currently on the market, but I want one plug to have two gigabit ports. I can only find 650 ones with more than one port at the moment.
Any news on whether/when devolo are releasing a 1200 plug with two ports? And whether OcUK will stock them?

Here goes...
-I live in an old cottage. Don't know when the wiring was done
-Currently have the TP Link AV200.
-Transferring a large file from the attic gaming PC to the media PC downstairs results in 4or5MB/sec (as opposed to 10MB/sec which is what I imagined they would do)
-Have 7800DXL router gigabit ports
-PCs have gigabit network adapters
Would getting these improve my speeds? Or am I not reaching reaching the peak transfer speeds with what I already have due to internal wiring?

That matches what mine do too.
Will be interested in the 1200 review that is forthcoming as I'm looking for something that will allow transfers in the region of 12MBps
I'd be interested in upgrading... If I hadn't just bought SIX AV600s!
But all that said, I think even if they break about 100mbps, I don't think they will behave as well as a regular lan cable. I think they introduce a lot of lag and so forth, especially for media players/streamers.
