Is it possible for someone to post the software from the CD to Dropbox or something?

I would like to configure my home plugs but can't find the CDs.

true - however doesn't mean people always write the correct way :smiley: Ideal world we'd be referring to everything in mebi, gibi and tebibytes, which would then stop people complaining on hard drive deals about the 'actual size' of the drive which is always corrent in terabytes but not in tebis that pcs report

Either way...speed seems not too bad overall. Shame it uses fair higher power consumption than the trendnet one you compared to

MB - Megabyte
Mb - Megabit.

is that 12 megabytes/sec transfer or megabits?

My test:
Upload/Download max speed
Trendnet TPL-308E2K - 7MB/s
Edimax HP-6002AC - 12MB/s

Power consumption [each]:
Trendnet TPL-308E2K - 1.1 W
Edimax HP-6002AC - 3.7W

I expect better speed with Edimax. I tried to connect 1 Trendnet with 1 Edimax and both working without problem.

don't suppose anyone's done any throughput tests?

Mine arrived too! :smiley:

Received mine.

Arrived today, quickly got them working with my existing powerline setup.

May buy some more at this price.

recived today :smiley:

Still waiting on mine, in no rush but I guess it'll be next week.

Not received mine yet..

→Hello I was wondering if you can help me, I order an item almost 2 weeks ago and have not received it yet, is there any more information?

Phoebe: Please can I have the order number?

→*********

Phoebe: Thank you, one moment please

→Thank you

Phoebe: We are sorry to hear your order has not yet arrived. I can confirm your order was shipped on the 6th September 2015 from our Non-EU warehouse by International Priority Mail and should be with you shortly. Please allow a few more days for delivery. We are unable to re-send or refund until after 14 working days (Monday-Friday) from the shipping date as the Post Office will not accept an order as missing until after this time. If your order has not arrived by this time, please get back to us.

→I have no problem with waiting, is just that it says "delivered in 3 to 5 days" that is a big difference from the 14 working days you giving me now

→is there a tracking number by any chance?

Phoebe: Yes, I understand where you are coming from. It was just to let you know that we cannot replace or refund until 14 working days have been met as the Post Office will not accept an order as missing until after this time. The item should arrive with you before this time though

→Yes that is not a problem, but is there a tracking number just so I can see when I would need to be home to receive it?

Phoebe: There is no tracking number included with this order as this was shipped via free shipping.

→thank you for you help anyway
→have a nice day, bye


Not much help but at least now I know not to be expecting it to come in the next days

Also waiting on delivery...

Did someone get the delivery yet? still waiting. wondering if I should message them

Thank you so much.

Could you suggest one that has a 'built-in' router on the second adapter - ie does not require ethernet cable to connect between the laptop and the second adapter so it can go wireless? Good budget one, or what keyword(s) should I be looking for if I was going to search myself? Thanks.

just be aware they may be 600mbps between each other, but the actually ports may only be 100mbps so you'll never get the 600mbps speed. :man:

I'm not sure if separate ring mains will work.

With these adapters you plug one into a socket near your router and then connect an ethernet cable from your router to the the adapter. Then you plug the other adapter near the device you want to connect to and connect an ethernet cable from the second adapter to the device.

If you want to extend wireless range you need to be looking at a different type of adapter.

sorry, my point is - overall I still can go completely wireless and with improved speed? Thank again

Sorry, I am still not sure how to use these. One plug - into wall socket then the router power socket plugs into it. Second plug - into another wall socket where the wifi signal is weak. Is that it? There is a 'built-in' router in these plugs and does not require a 'slave' router? Using the ethernet cable directly to the computer is only optional? I have seperate electric rings upstairs and downstairs, is that okay to have them plug into different ring circuits? Sorry for so many question, many thanks

Great deal for gigabit port with pass-through. Heat.

Yep just checked and mine's now marked as dispatched too :smiley:

mines dispatched

Anyone got a dispatch yet for these ? Mine have been sitting at 'placing order' for 2 days now.

I have 200mb 10/100 on network powerlines and i cant download and stream 1080p at the same time. Will i see a huge difference with these powerlines?

Hi Friends...i have seen couple of posts on thise but never got chance to understanding it properly..Is my understanding right that this is to boost the signal strength if the router is one room and u dont get enough signal ? or is this to increase the speed on what you get at the moment?

Secondly; i was thinking to have a ethernet cable in my bedroom aswell as in my living room as i have 2 tv. Can this be used as a solution were i can have powerline in bedroom and router in living room. Then connect ethernet cable from power line to my tv....?

Sorry for asking dumb question and probably these sort of queries would have been answered in the past i believe

Dont forget megabits are not megabytes, Mb/s and MB/s .. 600Mbs is 75MB/s, even then you will never get the full quoted speed. Mine (devolo) suffer slightly from being in socket-adapter-adapter but nothing too dramatic.
I have one which has three ethernet sockets and it works as a switch hth.

don't see the point in 600mbps as most broadband connection are much less than 100mbps anyway.

Just ordered hot

​Yes he could do that with a spare router, make sure you switch off DHCP and make sure the IP range is the same as your main router.

I could do with some of these to replace my adding 50mbps ones but I need one that allows me to plug in multiple devices.

Just ordered one and noticed that comes from outside the uk and says VAT charges not included. Anyone purchased on that website before? Not that amazing deal but brought anyway :smile:

excelent price for 600Mbps with 1000Mbps lan port

Thanks for the response Fruity, I really meant that I wondered what the benchmarks are for this kind of powerline in the deal, if they're significantly higher than mine are performing now then I would take a shot at them.

I also made my mind up that my initial assumption was right that it's the powerline next to the fire tv rather than the router which i need to upgrade as well as the one by my server of course

If I'm understanding correctly; that's what I'd be doing to avoid using the Wireless on the Fire TV. However, only one powerline needs to be connected to the router, this should supply all devices connected to powerlines IPs via DHCP.

Something to consider is your home wiring, whether you're connecting them via a ropey additional socket or through an extension will lower the powerlines performance. I also find that when my central heating kicks in the ~110MB/s drops to ~5MB/s, this is only temporary but very noticeable depending what you're doing. Not saying this will happen for you but electrical interference can be a factor.

I've resorted to connecting my homeserver by a powerline which is a known good link if you will, it's not suffered any issues so far. The office is connected by CAT5. I have no issues streaming HD files that are similar in size from the homeserver, via the router a stretch of CAT5 and a switch in the office using BT Flex 500s.

In terms of benchmarks you can simply copy a few files for a quick test but there are programs on the web to test speeds between devices.

How are these Gigabit (1000Mbps) if they're only 600Mbps?

thanks OP, really interested in these as I have 200Mbps ones and am having a problem:

I have file server > Powerline > Router > Powerline > Fire TV and I get stuttering when playing 10GB+ videos, and think the powerlines are the bottleneck as the File server and Fire TVs are Gigabit.

I clearly need to connect one to the file server, bu what I can't suss is whether I need to put the other directly on the Fire TV, or on the router. I am thinking it's on the Fire TV I need it, would be interested in real world benchmarks too but couldn't find anything on google.

Can someone let me know how these work? Do you just plpug them into the mains or adapter then attach a ethernet cable from the router into one, does this then transmit the signal through the mains and I can plug the other in my room and attach a ethernet from that to my computer? Is this effectively wired internet but without using wires all around the house?

awesome deal, THANKS!

Anyone got this model ? any good?

Would these work with TP-Link TL-PA211 AV200 Mini Powerline Adapter.
Thanks in advance.

Good deal. You'd be surprised how many 600mbps power plugs surprisingly seem to use 100mbps lan, these are gigabit so no immediate bottleneck on that front, plus a great price for a pass through pair!!

awesome, almost paid over £35 for these off eBay yesterday.

was just looking at these yesterday.
