      Mesh isn't really the best technology. If you have 2 radio units (2GHz and 5GHz) then APs need to share the same frequency on the 5GHz band. This causes lots of problems and makes the hidden client problem worse. If you have 3 radio units then you end up with a second 5GHz band but all the APs still need to be on the same frequency on that second band. If someone did a regular AP install (wired) and put every AP on the same frequency then that would be considered a very bad install. But it is normal for mesh. So you can end up with a lot of retries and hence jitter and latency.

  • lowgo on 13/08/2022 - 22:07

    One hopes tp-link is using better capacitors than those in their older TL-PA211 powerline adapters.

  • ChipsChicky on 13/08/2022 - 22:34

    How do you use them ? I am always unable to understand hownit connects to ethernet of router ?

    • MikeKulls on 13/08/2022 - 22:50

      They are transparent, just like running a cable between the 2 rooms. The simplest case is a PC connected at one end and your router at the other end.

    • scuderiarmani on 13/08/2022 - 22:51

      You plug both in the wall. You connect one of them with an ethernet cable from the router. The other syncs. Simple.

    Unless you have ideal powerline conditions in your home, it is much slower than wifi. I was using one and I couldn't get download faster than 85mbps(Living room downstairs to my study upstairs). I've ended up using a onemesh compatible wifi extender (AC2600) and using the gigabit ethernet port I've connected it to the switch I have upstairs which connects to my main PC and plex server and now I'm getting the exetel speed boosted speed 250mbps+.

    My use case is quite unique to others, but I'm just warning others that were planning on grabbing one

      EoP can be hit and miss. It's better to use circuits that don't go through the switchboard.

    • EthicsGradient on 14/08/2022 - 13:36

      Fair call - we've got the opposite problem. Wifi drop outs. We get between 200 and 600Mbs on powerline, and that is across circuits. But it's a modern house with clean circuits. So YMMV with your situation.

  • random5511 on 14/08/2022 - 00:11

    Using these to get network to a shed ~30m from the house. Connected across different circuits.
    Single digit latency, ~90Mbps throughout. No issues at all so far.
    I think wifi would perform much better, but wouldn't work in my scenario.

  • x x on 14/08/2022 - 00:13

    What are these? I'm learning. Do you plug them in and they connect to your wifi, then you connect an ethernet cable from it to your computer? Or are they like a repeater to boost your wifi signal throughout the house?

    • MikeKulls on 14/08/2022 - 00:37
      +1

      These don't provide wifi at all. They are an alternative to installing a cable in the wall. In the simplest form it's just like running a cable between 2 rooms. You could hook a PC at one end and your router at the other end. They are a layer 2 device so they just act like a switch, there is little to no config. You can install more of them and only 1 unit/cable required at the router.

      • jrance on 14/08/2022 - 07:45

        There are options that also have wireless available. I use one where mesh just won't work and it's fantastic.

    • amaslam on 15/08/2022 - 16:39

      I call them 'Bridges' because that's essentially what they do. You plug a device with a network cable to one and then through the powerline they send data to the other one(s) connected to another power socket to the network cable there and to the device on the other end.

      My use case:
      Room A: NBN
      Room B: Network switch and Google Wifi

      My connections:
      NBN Network Cable to Powerline AVR2000 in Room A

      Distance between room A and room B (< 10m) with a hallway and front door in between, not easy to run an Ethernet cable around and across. Speed test to NBN: 400 MBps (I'm on the fastest residential Optus plan).

      In Room B:
      Powerline AVR2000 network cable to Google Wifi
      Network switch connected to Google Wifi and all other wired network devices connect to Network Switch (8 port)

      So essentially it 'bridges' room A network cable to room B network cable.

      • vash12 on 16/08/2022 - 11:53

        How bad is the latency though?

        I was thinking of doing something similar as well since I can't move my NBN box from my bedroom.

        Room A
        NBN box —- EOP

        Living Room
        EOP —- AC router

        • amaslam on 16/08/2022 - 13:48

          I haven't done much gaming through it but for things like Plex Media server, Kodi, Netflix, Internet Radio and Streaming it works fine.

          The only app I use where latency can be an issue is video conferencing and at least for 1080p work MS Teams it's not an issue. I run the whole house through the PowerLine and Google router and achieve speeds of 38 MBytes/s peak (that's > 300 Mbits/s). Speed test itself reports 400 Mbits/s.

          Again it's hard to say if everyone will have that. But house is old (circa 1960) and multi-level.

          I've done some informal testing on the upper level and lower level and observed speeds are (240 Mbits/s upper level and 95 Mbits/s lower level).

        • [Deactivated] on 23/08/2022 - 15:29

          I get less than 10ms latency on my similair setup.

          I use mine to extend ethernet from a router to a wall port across the room for my desktop, so I can have a stable wired connection instead of wifi, and it's absolutely fantastic.

    Worth noting that connected devices need to be on the same phase to communicate. If you have 3 phase power the client might be on a different phase to the access point so it won't work.

      Big bloody +1 on this - we've just rearranged our circuits for a solar/battery system, and I'd forgotten about this completely. Fortunately, the main circuits we used are on the same phase, but I forgot about it completely until I saw this thread!

        No need to have it in your home at close proximity, especially with growing bodies around, who are most affected. Several more progressive countries have banned wi-fi in schools and nurseries.

        Your life, your choice. At least you have a choice at home.

        Hilarious how people downvote the honest science going against the wireless industry raking in the big bucks. It's always like this. The public are the guinea pigs. As long as you don't drop dead immediately, everything is accepted. Smoking was debated for decades. Asbestos too.

          It's important to note the politicians in France have made it very clear that even that was because of excessive screeching from morons with absolutely zero supporting basis in science, and no, it is not banned in schools. They just turn it off when it's not in use, lol, read "outside school hours".

          In their case politicians, that literally make a career of bending over for screeching idiots, have chosen a "better safe than sorry" policy. Even though there is zero supporting evidence that we might be sorry. It's truly remarkably hysterical bullshit, like making cafe's with wifi put a sticker on their window.

          The first 20 results on google for the claim that it's banned are all hysterical "5g caused covid" type blogs.

          You are exposed to exponentially more radiation if you have a window to visible sunlight, or actually gasp step outside. In fact, you're being blasted by cosmic rays every moment of the day! When will lawmakers get serious about dark matter!

          Wait until you find out AM, FM, GPS, GLOSNASS, GALILEO, Weather satellites, TV, P25, Pagers, mobile phones, bluetooth, actual microwaves, weather radar, aircraft radar, radar altimeters. Are you breathing into a brown paper bag yet?

          There's been no epidemic of hand/face/hip/brain cancer since we started carrying mobile phones everywhere my man. Settle down.

          • lowgo on 29/08/2022 - 22:07

            @[Deactivated]: The processing power required to find the supporting evidence must be a lot higher than I first imagined, even when guided with links.

            We all make our own decisions.

            • [Deactivated] on 29/08/2022 - 23:04

              @lowgo: I can link you several well written dissertations on why women shouldn't have a licence to drive from some countries, whose lawmakers were "democratically elected" and "listening to their people".

              It doesn't have to make sense just because you agree with it.

              • lowgo on 29/08/2022 - 23:44

                @[Deactivated]: The links I presented above are a more-than-adequate springboard for those with a desire to know and search for more…the rest is up to you. Including easily finding peer-reviewed studies on wifi and bluetooth.

                I have no desire to change your interpretations, extrapolations and opinions on the topic. You say no supporting evidence. OK then.

                Enjoy life.

    • Void on 14/08/2022 - 15:50

      I'm pretty sure cell towers put out much stronger signals, so it's unavoidable.

  • tanginmontana on 17/08/2022 - 14:23

    I've used these in my new townhouse for the last 2 years and they work fine for people who can't run cables through their walls.

    I noticed I was getting capped at around 250-300Mbps running these with a Google Nest router.
    Decided to try the wifi out on the Nest mesh units to my PC and was able to get ~900Mbps.

    So kind of made it redundant to use and I haven't really noticed many drops in wifi while gaming.
