powerline query.....

[Reality Bites]

I currently have some old Netgear powerlines (around 5-6 years old). I want some quicker devices and have been looking at the TP link AV500 sets. If i bought the GB ones, but then wanted to extend further but didn't need the extra speed, would the 500MB's ones work with them? Can i mix speeds?

I'm tempted just to go with the 500MB's ones anyway. I want them to connect to my server in my spare room for HD streaming.

Drill holes, lift carpets, fit ethernet ports.

Cheaper and 1000x better!

if i could, i would.......but my server is in the spare room and my av kit the lounge. It's a long way to run cables.

£40-50 for a set of 500MBS powerlines should do the job.

Considering the 500's are around £25-30 a set, I may aswell plumb for those? I'm assuming the GB port on them is pointless as the 100mb ports shouldn't be a bottleneck with these?
