Awesome. Reserved, paid and collected!

Good price

Cheers!

Whats the range on these 100m, 200m?

This is wired. Not wireless.

Would this give me wifi downstairs or is it to plug in and connect to my router then use eternet cable.

I really need wifi as my router doesn't reach can anyone help

How big is your house?!

Can these be used in conjunction with other powerline devices? I already have a couple of TP Link ones but want to get a few more, assumed it would be ok as they should be interpreting the same signal?

Heck knows. All I know it has four floors.
Router on second floor, PS4 on 4th.

If I use some of these and plug an old router into the one I want to extend my network will it work? I intend to set up the router with the same network settings (SSID and password), give the router a fixed IP address and uncheck - will it work like an extension but without reducing speed (like a repeater)?

Can these be used to connect a land line phone through the sockets?

Powerline adapters can be mixed between vendors yes, but you want to make sure they are all the same speed. Otherwise they will all run at the speed of the slowest device.

If it has four floors, it's likely your house has a three phase supply. If it does, then the adapters can only be used on a single phase, the signal can't cross between phases.
This is the situation with me. It has it's conveniences, but you need to know where each phases cables run.
PS Yes they do have a range limit, it' doesn't fall off as quickly as wifi but it's there and it depends on the physical length to and from the electrical sockets

Bare in mind the Ethernet port on these is 10/100 so you won't see above 100mbps, nevermind the quoted 500mbps. Still good value though.

Would this device work on a bt you view box? F-i -L has bought one,and on the side of box it says needs a broadband connector,is that something different,and yes,I am thick

Many thanks.

I think 'likely' might be overstating that a bit. Although the signals can't cross between phases, there are plenty of four floor houses out there on a single phase (for example, small modern town houses or houses with basements and loft conversions) and I don't think I've ever come across a 3 phase house... 2 phase, but 3 phase must be pretty rare unless you live in a manor...

Possibly you have richer friends than I do :stuck_out_tongue:

Is that correct? In a mixed environment can't two 500mbps devices talk to each other @ 500mbps even if there is a 200mbps device in the set up? A 500mbps device would talk to a 200mbps device @ 200mbps maximum for sure.

None in stock

I suspect that would work provided that each pair of network adapters were on different frequencies otherwise there probably would be confusion down the mains line of the data signal. However as someone said these only have 100mb/s ports so it seems you won't get that throughput.

This is a section of review taken from pcadviser - "As with all Powerline adapters you won’t actually get 500Mbps speeds, as this is just the theoretical maximum speed. Many limiting technical factors (not least the non-Gigabit Ethernet ports, which will pull back top speed to 100Mbps) and environmental barriers (your home electrical system, other devices plugged in around the home) mean that 500Mbps is a nonsense."

If you're talking about what randomnut said, then I don't know either. I just took his word for it and assumed he's right

200 Sq m.

Yeah I can understand that. But with my current 200 Mbps one's, I get like 45MB on speed test. If I plug it straight to the router with a LAN cable I get the full 120MB from my broadband. If I use 5Ghz Wifi, I get 70MB+. So my current 200 Mbps one's are actually slower than Wifi. Unfortunately the signal is a bit weak on Wifi.

I'm not hoping to get the full 120MB, but the 500 Mbps one's should allow me to get at least 80MB/90MB right?

Got a TP Link equivalent, it's so flaky it's never 100% working.

If you leave it a couple days then it will reset and you will have to wait for the cables to resync.

If it isn't plugged directly into the wall and not a power adapter, you will have problems. Sucks for me as this bloody house has such a limited amount of plugs in the wall I have no choice. Other than run a super long power cable for my PC =\

Be very sceptical about it, I wanted it to be my saving grace.

Two phase or three, the problem is the same. Admittedly terrace conversions usually aren't but some are at least two. And if at some time, they've been a business, remember when we weren't just shopkeepers :-) in some parts of London (for instance) they may have had to have three phase. Anyhow, I can think of five including my own (which isn't grand).

One would expect you'd get UPTO the possible max of the port (100Mb) but you do have to allow for loses in your mains spur network which includes the sockets themselves! & your data cables although likely to be very small on short runs.

I see. Hopefully there will at least be some improvement from the 45MB that I'm currently getting with my 200 Mbps ones'. Even if I can just match the 70MB speeds I get via 5Ghz Wifi, then I'd be happy enough.

I'll be using the new 500 Mbps ones' for my PC and then I'll just use the old 200 Mbps for my PS4. Playing online on the PS4 via Wifi is just painful. Since it doesn't support 5Ghz, having to use 2.4Ghz Wifi is just absolute balls.

I bought some of THESE gigabit adapters from a deal the other month, and they've been superb. They have gone up a £1, but at £24.99 they are still a bargain.

I have the older version of these, using three of them with one at the hub and the other two connected to two routers configured as switches/wireless access points on different floors of the house. I've had no trouble with mine and get the full 70Mbit speedtest result on all the wired systems connected to either of the Powerline routers. Transferring large files isn't it's strong point though, transferring files over two wired systems over the Powerlines I usually get around 5-7Mbps which isn't that bad really. Someone earlier said this wasn't recommended well I've been doing it for well over a year without a hitch. Its not super fast but its a huge upgrade over 2.4Ghz WiFi.

In that case then yes you could run two seperate powerline networks with the devices of the same speed paired together and it would work

I use these with existing Zyxel PLA4215 ones which are years oldand they work fine. Despite the fact the Zyxel ones are not listed on the homeplug standards website for compatability. I don't think it's an exhaustive list by no means. I also never realised these things have a small amount of config on them which you can access with a software utility from vendors website.

When BT installed and activated infinity wifi was 60-70mg but it never lasted long, went downhill from then on in.

Now only seem to get 10-18mg, however UL always seems to be maximum.

Also installed tplink 200 but wired to them and rarely get 30meg so guess would benefit from these or can anyone recommend others. Only use would be for internet

Good deal.

Please could someone post up their speeds from these.

Think if using with a PS4/PSTV and Xbox360.

My 5Ghz streaming is flawless but the PS4/TV can't use it.

My neighbourhood is rife with 2.4 ghz and slow streaming.

Thanks.

Hi,

Yep I've changed channel and scanned the area and there are 8 overlaps but only 1x 5ghz (me).

Today I bought some gb powerlines with pass through and played call of duty in my room without a stutter while the PS4 sat in the lounge.

I'm so happy! Was going to jump on my pstv.
