Router and Homeplugs

MikeB · 22 Aug 2009 at 18:51

If my router is not physically connected to my main pc, and connects at approx 7mb, will using homeplugs (85mbps) to connect the router and pc slow my main pc's download speed?

Thanks in advance

No, they shouldn't slow your connection down.

does it equate to 85mbps = 10mb transfer rate roughly?

Yup, there are 8 bits (b) to every Byte (B).

The caps refer to different sizes of information packets. Naturally ISPs rate their linespeed in Mbps as this as this sounds so much faster than its MB/s equivalent
