What's not much speed? Great than 20mbps
Getting anywhere from 80mbs-110mbs on my powerline adaptor. (Apartment building)
Powerlines are very hit & miss.
Getting 600-700mbs on wifi.
If you have a black spot these are great….
Wifi has radiation. The stronger signal closer to the AP the stronger the radiation
Powerline has no radiation therefore more safe health wise. Also has no black spot as long as you have a outlet
You could also use EOP as a backhaul between your router and APs for a mesh network
It's was a while ago when I tested but 20-50mbps in a 30 year old house.
Use it for my alarm so don't need too much
That's more than enough for me
I've also used these in the past, and yes only occasional use, the problem is if they are loaded with traffic constantly they get hot and you'll get disconnection/slow downs
I use this for a PIR alarm system. It is a lot cheaper than getting a proper Ethernet connection installed. The other alternative is a wifi booster but that can halve the throughput of the main wifi network
That's a good idea actually. Never thought of this use case.
I wanted to do this but unfortunately my alarm was on a different circuit. But I use it for my wired security camera
Don’t know about this one but I have a TP Link AV2000 powerline adapter and it’s fantastic to get a connection to a back from that wifi doesn’t reach well.
The price of this one is a bargain and probably suitable for most office type functions and maybe FHD streaming,
I had a pair of these TP-LINK ones, and their speed is maxed out at around 240Mbps (link speed around 800Mbps). The speed is still unstable if you have large file SMB transfers within your LAN, i.e., NAS.
Like WiFi, Powerline adapters are half-duplex devices, so your speed will be halved when you read the number, not considering the powerline quality or interference.
I planted invisible single-mode fibres with BIDI SFP+ within the house, and now I can reach up to 8Gbps between my bedroom and living room, which is 30m with the fibre route. Once the fibre is terminated, I ran a UniFi AP so it works like a wired mesh system with reliable speed and low latency.I think it depends on your needs. Powerline adapters are still acceptable for connecting a printer or running 50Mbps or 100Mbps internet. It will never max out their advertised speed, or even half of that.
I had two pairs PA9020p and they went about the same speed wise. Maxed out at around 280 Mbps ~28 MiB/s.
Went with running ethernet cable along the floors and door frames with Dline cable covers from bunnings and now I got 1Gbps around to where i need it.
Pretty sweet. Dunno why i didn’t think of it before and it actually costs less.
NetComm wishes to advise its customers and partners that the NP511 Powerline adapters has been withdrawn from sale as from 30th April 2021. Bug fixes and other vital updates will continue for a further 2 years until 30th April 2023 after which all technical support will be withdrawn.
NetComm recommends the NS-01 as a closest replacement product going forward which is a CloudMesh Satellite. NS-01 requires CloudMesh Gateway NF18MESH.
Yeah except the new setup Netcomm gateway and that satellite crap is not feasible. Just get any other brands like tplink if you want something that's supported
The biggest issue for such adapters is they doesn't work between different circuits. But for the most new home, different room/ area was setup separately.
Old and slow.
These motherfers, when plugged in and active, wake both my computers up from sleep mode, seemingly at random. 2 computers, 2 separate rooms, only 1 is using this setup, but both randomly (not at the same time, either)
They are useful for stable Ethernet (albeit slow) but not really great long term.
Sounds like you’ve got Wake On LAN enabled on your BIOS.

Note these are 100/10Mb/s.
500Mb/s figure refers max throughput if chaining several units.
They are only capable of half duplex too. They are too slow to be anything more than a last resort.
Any recommendations on other cheap options? Looking to get one to link to my PS5 for online gaming which seems to have a lot of issues with the Wifi connection.
For gaming you really don't want powerline.
Slow connection speeds and lots of jitter.Go run a big cable if you really get stuck
It's not always that easy to run cables all around for old house. Also you void home building insurance for DIY work.
Some houses are like two storey and not easy to get under the house. Some houses don't even have accessible manhole as it's purely concrete floor flat..
Really depends on your home layout, but running a cable really is the best option.. I majority WFH and my study is on the other side to the NBN connection. Friend and I ran an ethernet cable under the house (replaced the previous ADSL phone line wall socket, so didnt need to cut a wall that side), then made a hole in the study and it's been working flawlessly since (….mostly, had to reinforce the cable/pinout at some point because our original crimp wasn't great). Now I just run a switch in the study to other devices. (FYI I rent, and got the Landlords permission first before doing this, as it wasn't costing them anything/with an agreement any damage caused by the install covered by me of course)
Failing that, what's your WiFi solution? A bundled wifi modem, although better than they used to be, aren't really amazing typically.
Powerline have a friend running the TP Link AV2000 I think and he's getting 15-20MB/s transfer max, which is plenty for PS5, but you're definitely paying a premium for those… However have a different friend who has a relatively new build (<15 years old), runs powerline from garage across to his study, only really ~7-10m in a straight line, but has pretty random dropouts or line cuts.
All that being said, Powerline - YMMV. Super dependent on environmental factors, can be affected by high powered devices (like running a microwave may actually drop your speeds, etc).
I prefer better WiFi over powerline, personally.
I just have a basic netcomm wifi router I got when I signed up with Tangerine a bit over 4 years ago and the PS5 is only about 15m away. Connection used to be relatively stable with the odd drop outs but since christmas after the storms on the GC it has been usually terrible and the last month basically havent been able to play online with the Ping. Possibly just time to upgrade the modem router perhaps. I connected my old PS4 through LAN to the modem a couple days and it ran online perfectly.
Be aware that these things do NOT work if your home has solar panels
I have solar panels and these work without any issues.
Whelp, I guess I was either poorly informed, or there have been some developments that allow them to work.
I've had absolutely zero success using these devices and started investigating why they didn't work. An electrician explained that a grid-tie inverter (which is an essential part of a typical domestic solar installation) would actively oppose the noise (signals) these powerline devices introduce to the home wiring, and interfere to the extent that they simply wouldn't work.
Glad it works for others.
I have solar and mine work. They just don't work across circuits. Perhaps some spare paper clips jammed in as jumpers might solve the problem 🤣
It doesn't work probably because you have another circuit installed due to solar panels and not on the same as where your source internet Powerline adapter is plugged into
Circuit breakers and how they are isolated will cause these adapters not to talk to each other
Are you talking out of your hind quarters
No issues here with solar on the roof and these exact units
I've got a tin hat installed as well as my solar and mine work perfectly for last 4.5 yrs.
Ive tried taking off the tin hat but the data rates drop
link to where we can buy those hats please.
I've tried just using foil bought at the supermarket but still get the same as when i'm not wearing it. your hat seems to be the genuine article, so I want one.
(your obviously the genuine article to)
I have some of these at home.
Should only be used when it's really needed.
You won't get much speed but it's a relatively stable connection.
