  I have noticed an issue with TP-links powerline adapters, is that when your network is idle the adapters seem to go into powersave mode and disconnect, and they won't connect until after some time passes or until you change a setting in the TpPLC utility, which forces the adapters to 'wake up' and refresh their settings.

  otherwise they perform very nicely and haven't ever dropped a connection on me in the 6 months I've been using my AV1200 units.

      It really depends. My ping is as good as ever and the speeds are also not bottlenecking my 50 megabit NBN connection.

      Your mileage will vary depending on a lot of other conditions, such as the wiring in your home and it's quality, age and what home appliances you have connected currently. In my old house, powerline was next to unusable and completely unreliable, while in my current one (built 3 years ago), powerline is great and works better than Wifi.

      I have these exact adapters and they are dramatically better than either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz ac networks that my TP-Link Archer D9 can host, even when a TP-Link Archer T6E PCI-E wireless adapter is in the mix. This is across 8 meters and through 2 walls.

      One of the adapters is even plugged into a shared power board at the destination which while not ideal is just the way I'm doing things for the time being. Real-world transfer speeds between two local computers are ~20-30MB/s (that's megaBYTES), and latency ranges from 2-5ms.

      Could probably be better but I consider it good given the scenario.

  Plug Type EU, UK, US,FR

  Sorry if this is a stupid question, but would you have to use AU adapters?

  The pictures show the AU plug. I am confused.

    Usually you can ignore that. That's just stuff they copied-pasted from the TP link website, you'd get an australian plug with these.
