Ok, there seems to be a lot of people interested in the LAN performance, and whether or not these work well if I place them on a different circuit and breaker. If you want me to do another test with this and focus on LAN speed (yes, I was most interested in Internet connection in this room, not LAN... considering anything I would use for this PC is already in the same room) then hit like on this comment.
+JayzTwoCents Pretty awesome. Thanks for answering this big question I have had for years. Will check out a powerline adapter this weekend. :)
could you also do a followup where you examine how the power line adapter works when you go from like the router to a far end of the house? kinda curious...
+JayzTwoCents LAN speed, please.
Like comment because on mobile
+JayzTwoCents i was waiting for the lan performance, ive just moved into my new house and am trying to work out my networking solutions too. Have had good success with powerlines in the past, and mine were much cheaper than yours, and bought years ago, be interesting to see what improvements tp link has actually made. Hope you make this video keep up the good work mate.
yeah... diddnt even think about the outlet hookup so i drilled a hole through my wood floor dropped 3 ethernet cables to my basement for all my gaming needs
+Taylor Burrow If my shop was in the basement I would have probably done the same thing
+Taylor Burrow Yup i did the a similar thing at my house, but 100% i would choose Ethernet over these. Not only because it is cheaper but there can be limitations when it comes to LAN speeds.
+Taylor Burrow did something similar myself. I live in a student dorm and was not liking the internet connection, so I got a new coax cable, ran it from the first floor (ground floor, second floor and attic is where we needed internet) through the ceiling (had to drill a hole through a wall and ceiling for that) and put the modem on the second floor. I then ran four lan cables through the floor to their rooms. The modem had wifi, so that was better, but just because I removed the cheap router my house had, I had vastly improved the connection and speed and the wifi was so much better.
Was a lot of work, but was kind of fun as it was the first time I really worked with ethernet and coax cables.
why 3 cables?? you can get away with 1 cable and a switch.
+Max I've done that but having little switches everywhere makes things messy and adds failure points.
On the topic of powerline quality.
The house I live in was build in 1955 (still original wiring) and my accesspoint is in the basement.
My PC is on the 3rd floor and I'm using a 40€ powerline adapter. But despite all this I'm still getting my full 50 down and 5 up.
My house was built in ‘75 and I get my 140 down and 12 up
what powerline adapter
Thats pretty fucking impressive. Im defo getting one.
If your primary speed concerns are based on your ISP speed, you probably don't need gigabit powerline ethernet adapters. You could go for slower but cheaper ones. But gigabit adapters are good for in-house sharing from NAS etc. I wonder how much of Jays problems before were actually due to the technology being so young at the time rather than his house wiring. I also would have liked to see him try the powerline ethernet plugged in next to his router and testing if the distance really did make any difference.
Could you run a test and see how it performs on the opposite end of the house?
That intro music was sexy.
+Barnacules Nerdgasm If you find porn sexy. :)
no u
Wow, that's actually fairly impressive. I would say newer houses would do better, but wow. I always assumed powerline was a bad idea, but it appears to work! o_O
Unfortunately, my house was built in the 1860s, so I feel this isn't the best option for me.
@@charsquatch600 are there demons in your home?
@@ukiyo9729 ??
You should have done a worst case with the powerline adapter and set them on far sides of the house.
$105 for a hoodie? fuck that
+BattMarn Some are more than that. Crazy, most hoodies around me (midwest) are around 65 bucks
BattMarn thats average/low end price for hoodies in finland.
BattMarn I have a AU$250 hoodie
But it has 13 pockets!! Lmao what a joke.
Birki gts Patrick:FINLAND!!!
I use a powerline from the second floor of my house all the way through to the guest house where there is no wifi. Runs like a champ
Chad Valencia I know you posted this 3 years ago but is your house ”new” and with that how good are (do you think) your wires?
@@elliotnordstrom6467 I have also an set up in my house. The wire "quality" isn't that big of a deal. Most wires are just 3 copper wires with some rubber, more important are other factors. So the only way to test these is to buy it and return them if you aren't happy with how good these work in your house.

It’s cause we’re upside down
@@Slot1Gamer I'm running cable. 55 down 5 up.
@@staples4335 I'm also running cable 150 down 10 up. But I got no Ethernet wired up into my room and I have a huge house so I have 17mbps down and like 4mbps up in my room.
Powerline adapters are something that have interested me for some time but like you last time I tried them I got horrible results and nothing ever synced up or the connection was unreliable. I want to try again with a better brand since the one I used was seriously as cheap as they got.
+Barnacules Nerdgasm Definitely try them again. If your adapters are on the same circuit, you can get some great reliable results.
+Barnacules Nerdgasm Personally I'm using some tp link 500mbs to stream my steam link - never had a problem and they also do wireless on the adapters - my steam link is literally like being at my pc and I use it for day long sessions. Overall was really impressed with them (esp considering I have a top of the line wireless router).
+Barnacules Nerdgasm It can vary. I have 4 adapters in my house, 3 work great and one that is in the most distant part of the house is quite flaky, sometimes to the point of bringing the entire network down due to some kind of a conflict. It's all easy to fix, though, and quite worth it.
I use powerline adapters from Devolo and they're great. Internet connection speed and ping are the same as if connected directly to the ISP router.
+Barnacules Nerdgasm The last ten years I must have spent €1,000 at least on various wi-fi routers. When as a last ditch hail-mary I tried Powerline about 4years ago and it was literally like a eureka moment. Then I was really pissy that no one told me before then about POWERLINE!
Esp. for gaming. I've everything wired now. Only devices that use wifi are phones/tablets. The stability and speeds ensure that my main systems will never be using wi-fi again. But like you guys said, I may have lucked out with my house's wiring.
0:21 he said "Bold Guy" he's gonna get sued
My brother in laws house is an old Victorian with lath & plaster walls. The wireless simply could not punch through so many thick walls between floors, and even with the old wiring the Power line adapters were perfect for that old house. I tell everyone with dead-zone rooms to invest on Power-line adapters...they work.
Just any FYI the Ethernet plug goes into an old wiring outlet on the other side of the old house. And the outlet that receives is in a brand-new extension room with new wiring. It all still works fine even having to traverse different circuits and going into the circuit breaker box.. If you have dead-zone rooms were the solutions all seem bad... try Power-line units. They are simple, fast and they work like a charm
I think I may try this (and do a video if results are interesting) to see if it performs better than wireless and access point in my apartment, as I have trouble in my apartment.
Thanks, Jay!!
+EposVox You're everywhere~
GGMANIAC Dat's meeee
EposVox We just watch a lot of similar content. Good content.
there is a reason cisco, hp, dell, ubiquiti, ... dont sell powerlan. its like dsl over main, not stable. try it with vacumclaner on.
I'm in the UK, so our internet is much slower, but I've got BT powerline adaptors giving me internet down in the summerhouse, 25 yards from the router, I only lose 4mb/s over being plugged directly into the router. The kit I got also creates WiFi hotspots at the powerline connection points. With the kit I bought, that means wireless at the transmitter, then a hotspot/Ethernet connection in my stepsons room upstairs and the same at the bottom of the garden in the summerhouse (my studio/gaming room in the summer).
Thanks for the channel Jay, I learn't enough from you to assemble my own PC (7850k kaveri) on a very very tight budget late last year, I'm now looking to assemble a similar rig for my stepson and a higher spec AMD based machine for myself, the current machine my two toddlers love playing lego games on.
my tp link 500mbps rated line takes my 100/5 connection to .7/.7
DONT BUY THEM IF HOUSE IS OLDER THAN 50 YEARS
I have no idea how old my house is but I’m assuming it’s really old and why?
@JayzTwoCents I actually went through this comparison yesterday. I live in a apartment and use a powerline. I upgraded to 1Gb Internet and the power line only did a 50d and 70u while I plugged in a AC wireless adapter and got 300Mbps up and down. I can say big things if you want to use PowerLine, make sure you are on the same circuit which helps your speed, also NEVER plug it into a surge protector. Awesome video though Jay!
With the rise of box streaming, Powerline adapters are great for people who can't otherwise drill into their walls/floors/ceilings/etc. like myself, as I rent. While I'm not getting full wired speed with mine, I get about double what my wireless gives with a LOT more stability. Thanks to the adapter I can stream via SteamLink from upstairs to downstairs with almost no latency.
One thing to remember with them is to not slack on buying a cheapie Powerline adapter- the cheap, lower speed ones are damn useless. To really see a return on your effort (especially with gaming) you really need to be on 1200+.
This is exactly the type of Powerline video I have been looking for. I have been debating is powerline adapters were a good way to get my network into my livingroom. My house is as old as Jayz Previous home (50+ years old) and the wiring from that time likely won't support good powerline networking. Thanks Jay!
Actually just got a few of these work. Have some older buildings that they wouldn't let us rewire properly, so to get a connection to a separate section tossed one of these in and it's working perfectly.
Jayz - about those power connectors I dont really think that it matters where you place them - if you have sequential power sockets than yes it would matter but that is never ever the case with modern build houses since if one power outlet burns all following outlets will stop working as well - so no matter where you are in the house the power adapters should allways go to the power distribution box from the first adapter and then all the way from the box to the 2-nd power outlet - one trick with those is that you must allways be in the same power box if your house has 2 of them you wouldnt be able to use them - atleast that is what i've found
The algorithm brought me back here. I have stepped into a time machine
Jay unless your babies room is on same the circuit as your studio it doesn't matter how far away the room is. The signal will travel from the babies room out to your breaker box where it meets up with the common bus then will go back in through the breaker to the garage's circuit and ride that line out to the garage.
In a scenario where your breaker box is on the other side of the house it may be better to set it up at the far end since the signal will only need to travel the distance of the house once instead of 2 times.
I'd like to see the performance difference based on different locations and distances between units.
Dave Starr physical diverence in distance is relative. If two rooms are side by side but the electrical are on two different circuits then the signal will go from one adapter to the load center (circuit panel) and then to the other(s) adapters.
i live in a rented apartment with a dozen other wireless networks in the building with solid brick walls so my powerline adaptor is a godsend. Absolutely no loss compared to plugging straight into the router.
Just a note: Your electrical runs from the outlet to the panel. then from the panel out. Unless you happened to put them on the same circuit, it doesn't matter how "far" away they are. You could have two rooms next to each other and it be the farthest in terms of electrical travel. Unless, of course, they are on the same circuit. But, if you are having internet issues across distance, chances are the outlet you are using to send the signal is not going to be on the same circuit. So, it doesn't matter.
Use powerline adapters myself..just to put a wireless router in middle of my apartment. Works good for me, boosted 5GHz band to cover every room better.
I have a powerline adapter and its awful, it disconnects at least 10 times a day but I don't have a choice because the Router is downstairs, Do not recommend, just use wired
+xRsAtx well my desktop doesnt have wireless and my consoles are in a cuboard so i have to use powerline and mine works flawlessly 95% of the time.
+xRsAtx Have you though the unit might be faulty ? or there is another device on the mains that is chucking noise out which is causing the loss of sync for the devices ?
Used to have this problem where the unit would "sleep" when not gaming randomly. Update firmware or turn off sleep options. It worked for me.
@@jplegend98 how much does it cost?
@@angelloza4853 30ish
You can get the best of both worlds.
There are powerline Ethernet adapters with WiFi APs in them, allowing you to put the wireless into the same room as the client to improve reception (and speed).
They, predictably, cost a pretty penny more though.
Well, I guess nothing will speed up my 1.5 mb/s internet speed.
Thats a new level of SHIT
I like the power option have been using it for awhile over a wireless signal.Mostly cause of the hard wire option vs the sniff ability of wireless.Good work as always, Jay sir.
6 days without a video. I'm losing hope... dying... slowly...
well with 4mb up im not surprised lol
I'll give you an example. My flat is kinda eloganted and the other end has no internet, I tried chaining wifi extenders but most I got was 20mbps down from 400mbps. The building was made in 60s so I was skeptical about powerline adapters but I decided to try. It took 5 min to install and I got 100mbps download 80mbps upload, I am happy
Handwarmers? More like glock holders for your school
Ethan Middleton shouldn't say things like that, you could get arrested

I'm using TPLink powerline adapters all over my house and they work great! (My kids finally stopped complaining about the internet on their gaming rigs) The house has way too many walls in it so I also attached a separate WiFi router off of one of the powerlink adapters in part of the house that had 0 WiFi before and now it's perfect too.. TPLink has been awesome for my needs. (Wiring in the house is from 1973)
There is more to it than just faster speed. What I found is that although the adapters don't offer the fastest speed, it does offer a more consistent connection. Where Wifi will fluxate a lot. I also did an update of the adapter's firmware, which TP Link makes really easy to do. Great explanation on your part on how it works and factors to consider when setting it all up.
Same circuit/breaker works best to minimize interference. However the quality of wiring can also affect your speeds. But you can also hook up a wireless access point to the power line adapter to get WiFi in another part of your house or building. Or I think they now make power line adapters were the receiver has a built in access point.
5GHZ doesnt travel through walls or travel over distance well...
Jay i think the more reasonable test was to buy additional Wifi range extender unit and test with that. It is clear as day, if your wifi signal is poor, you get bad speeds, no news here.
jay! you should have realized that the shortest route from A to B is not necessarily the two closest points in space. the power lines in your house are all meeting up at the breaker box. unbeknownst to you, you could have placed the two adapters as "far" as possible from each other. or, you if you did think about it, you should have said something.
I was about to comment the same thing. It still amazes me how these power line adapters work and how well they work.
KRIL89 i concur. i use them myself for my PC. granted i dont have a 65MBp/s connection to run through them, but they handle the DLS connection i have.
+Dravakiirm Animations Studios Except for the lines that share feed, as in this case.
***** true. but IMO, it is still worth a mention. i know of more houses that use room segregation for power breakers. rather than wall segregation or shared room.
this is exactly the video I was looking for and I didnt even know it!!I was so caught up on wireless for my new gaming pc I had forgot about Powerline adapters
Anybody else was thinking pewdiepie hoodie?
Red though...
It's so fun that people still call this wired.... It transmits the data trough the wires as a radio signal...
Even when I rewired my whole house with new wires it still can't beat a complete wired system!
Would be cool to see the internal network speeds that you can get since your internet isn't fast enough to push the powerline's limit ;-)
+pcfreak1992 Exactly. The 16 wifi vs 60 powerline Mbps is misleading. The powerline adapter is probably more like 30x - 50x faster than the wireless. Clearly the wireless was topping out at the 16 Mbps on the local link to the router.
+totoritko Obviously if the wireless is crapping out on the internet, I dont give a crap what the LAN speed is. I spend most of my time on the net, not on my NAS.
+pcfreak1992 not sure if this is a testament to internal speeds at the time, i lived in a condo in a high rise building a few years back and we tried a powerline kit from that timeframe from my condo to his condo to share internet, i had 100/100 fios internet and he was able to get around 55-65 out of the 100mb connection, between our condos in the same building...
***** Sure, but then you really don't need a 1 gig powerline anyway, or you could spend way less money and get a cheaper, slower model. Maybe even a simple wireless extender would do the job.
The 1 gig comes into play *exactly* when hi-def streaming locally or when transferring large files. That's when the difference really comes to life.
Not trying to say you're misleading on purpose, only that the test could have been done a bit better, IMHO. Anyway, keep up the great work and best wishes!
***** btw, not to just seem to be running my mouth, here's a suggestion for network performance testing: try netperf. It's an open-source utility that measures raw link throughput between any two machines.
Here's a super quick summary of how to use it: dev-loop.net/2011/05/measuring-network-throughput-in-windows/
Yeah, it's a command-line utility, but I've no doubt you've got the tech smarts to use it. And it'll help you eliminate any variability of your ISP, the speed testing website's servers and generally most things beyond your control.
Hope this helps.
in your old house were the power lines copper? given the age they could have been aluminium which would have made a big difference.
in addition, powerline adapter placement isnt as simple as "place it as close as possible". the nodes are placed on two separate circuits the signal will have to go back through the wiring to the breaker panel and then out to the the second. ideally both will be on the same circuit. however, in the even that this isnt possible the node should be placed as close to the breaker panel as possible to minimize the amount of wiring the signal needs to go through.
i use powerline in 2 rooms. as long if there on the same cicuit they work great.
My friend had terrible internet download speeds, over two weeks of download for GTA V. I actually suggested he get the powerline adapters, and his ping was halved and download speed increased by 25+ mbps. If you have extremely bad internet, I'd say these adapters would be a great help for you
Samuel Smith His PC had a bad wireless connection to his router, all the adapters did was help restore the connection
Should have done another test with the power line Ethernet as far as possible distance in your house to see if there's a difference!
it doesn't make a whole lot difference.. I have had power line for the last 3 years 2 different house.... distance is not that important as long as you don't live in Beckingham Palace
+shomu maity Ok thanks :)
Do you have to be on the same breaker or just the same meter?
Very good video. I've been debating on using these for a while now to run hardiwred into my office without having the aio router moved into here fromit's location just a few feet away in the bedroom. wi-fi is strong at 18-22MB/s (paying for 18), but I'd like to free-up the wireless since I've got quite a few other devices that are on wi-fi. Duplex was built ~ 2003-2005, so the wiring should be OK.
1:32 So if I had a power socket directly behind my computer desk, I should put the powerline adapter there?
I've ran multiple test on mine what I've experienced was the wireless always had a cap no matter the distance. I tested with wireless router in the same and directly wired from modem. Then moved the wireless router I've experienced greater download speeds with 5.0 GHz for closer range 2.4 slower but farther range overall and of course direct wire was best possible. In conclusion it many more variables with wireless I used two different wireless adapters one had better speeds overall recommend wired connection when possible 5.0 for wireless short range and for long range 2.4 GHz.
So... A SCOTTeVEST is basically a handbag you can wear?

I have TP Link powerline adapters and my router is in one corner of the basement and my farthest TP Link adapter is on the second story on the complete opposite end of the house and it still gets over 100 Mpbs. Obviously the two rooms are on different circuits. Powerline adapters have come a long way. It really comes down to the houses wiring. If you have good wiring you'll probably get decent speeds no matter how far apart they are, unless you live in a mansion. I have four TP Link adapters in total and they all get great speeds and I've never had a problem with them at all. In the year plus that I've had them they've never needed to be rebooted either, which kinda surprised me.
+Waremonger GG, I use the Netgear powerline adapters. I got a cool one that has 4 ports. My Modem and internet is all upstairs in my room, I use the powerline downstairs by the TV for the video games, Netflix on the Bluray player and extra plug if someone has a laptop or whatever they may want to plug in. I have Comcast and get 100+ down, 12 up. Have not tested how fast downstairs is for the powerline but my son hasn't complained of lag while on the Xbox One.
what is this!? I was hoping for a decent review but instead we had a lackluster comparison between two different technologies; of course it's Fibre > Ethernet > Powerline > WiFi... but also putting the powerline in the "next room" seems pretty dumb, people that are buying powerline obviously don't have a better (Ethernet) option so... then there's the issue of how the electrician put the power cabling in your walls, if it's a star wiring and you're on a different strand of cable coming from the circuit breakers, it doesn't matter if the "room is close" since the signal will travel up the cable back to the breaker then down the cable from the breaker to the other powerline adapter... then the final thing was testing using speedtest on your internet connection... WOW... just copy a few large files a few times (timing each copy) and run ping in command window... I mean you can include a Speedtest for the lels but why... oh well. also 5GHz is faster if you're in the same room or have very flimsy walls and are not far from the router... which brings me to last point... you didn't even tell us what router you were connected to... that's a LARGE oversight when you're doing a speed test between 2 radios (the router and your WiFi adapter)
+thedreadedgman
he did a complete video showing how the Wi-Fi is setup in his home, a Router at the core of his network, which is pretty far away from that machine in his home.
I installed the 1 port versions of these into my townhome a few months back and had the exact same results. Doubled my speed over my previous asus wireless solution.
I like how everyone in the comments is saying how your internet is slow and I'm here with a 15MBs down (when I'm lucky) and a 0.7MBs up...
+BadDriversofCentralFlorida Either you're making a mistake somewhere or you're trolling because that's godly internet.
+BadDriversofCentralFlorida Then you move to Central Canada and get 5 down -25 up.
ktfjulien Not trolling or making a mistake; I just pay for the cheapest internet possible.
BadDriversofCentralFlorida You have to be. Or you just don't understand how networking works. 15MBs down is an amazing connection.

I'm watching this video with internet from a powerline adapter.
+Joshua Blustein powerline represent
Correct me if I'm wrong jay but I'm curious, unless your outlets in the other room are linked directly together on the same circuit which most are not, wouldn't all the signal run back to the breaker box first anyways, wouldn't you be better off installing the host unit closest as possible to the breaker box?? I have no clue just curious I see you got great signal the way you did it anyways

+MrAvatin OH GOD! HE OVERHEATED, SEND WATER AND HEATSINK!
I use a netgear power line adapter that i bought from best buy in my apartment building that is about 50 years old and I have no problem with the my internet speed so I doubt that the wiring in your house has anything to do with the results
I like this comparison.
I am using one of these setups on my computer, and the only issue I have is, if I am watching UA-cam videos the link fails or something, and I have to unplug the box on my end and plug it back in to reconnect. Everything else, it is reliable and I get a network transfer rate of about 4MB/sec. peak, and about 2.5MB/sec. to 3MB/sec. average. It isn't the fastest thing in the world, but when I do game online I get very low ping and my connection tends to be stable.
0:36 Damn Jay, you make a nice Hoodie model :D
Really depends on the setup though. I have a 100/10 connection, and an R7000 from Netgear. I can easily get the full speed on Wireless with my Intel AC 7260 in my laptop. Powerline is only better if there's a lot of interference, distance, or you don't spend on the router.
Normally jayz reviews are good, but this one was horrible... Comparing apples and oranges with wirelss vs powerline wired.... And then testing internet speeds lol. I mean.. Wtf most lazy useless review ever. How about testing powerline adapter on different locations in house and compare. . You said having powerline adapt inother end of house would be bad... Maybe test and show that. I dont think so. I have use powerline adapters before over significant distance without problems. Note about powerline adapters have to be on same circut breaker in house for exampe. Also some powerline adapters come with wifi supported, good idea for access point in another part of house instead of drawing fiber there.
+David Larsen I thought this too. To say it makes a difference where you place it in the house, and then to not bother doing a quick "here is what happened when the powerline adapters were on opposite sides of the house instead of just vertically adjacent rooms" was a let down.
+David Larsen I agree. He should also test for latency and jitter between his client device and gateway to get an idea of consistency and reliability of the link. I remember Linus doing a similar WiFi vs PowerLine vs Ethernet test way back when and according to his results WiFi offered lower latency when compared to PowerLine. I wonder whether that has changed considering advancements PowerLine adapters have made in past few years.
maybe time for linus to revise that video =) maybe there wasn't even 5ghz wifi back when he did that old vid.
I had an issue with noisy wifi in my condo. Got the netgear powerline ethernet, super solid with a nice consistent latency.
PS Sorry to hear about the 60/4 ethernet connection.
I've been usimg powerline adapters off and on forma few years. I'm very happy with the speed and stability. Both behind the same circuit box and through a couple of boxes. More speed when going through no circuit boxes, but still work just fine through two as well in a time of need.
Poor internet connection...
I get 37/94 at 6600 miles to your ISP(100/100 local) for less than 10$/month
How much do you pay for that?
OMG, 2 videos in 1 day! I'm so happy!
I live in a 2 storey home and I am connected to 3 phase power. The issue I have is that different parts of the house are connected to different phases. From what I am aware, these power line adapters must be on the same phase to work. I could be wrong, but can you let me know. Cheers.
POwerline adapters work way better than Wireless. Proponents of wireless are just hipsters who like to say crap like Wi-Fi. Wireless has always been hit or miss and very testy. My mothers house was built in 1942 and her cable input is the se corner of her basement, her computer is in the NW side on the 3rd floor. Powerline was flawless and she gets an avg of 60 down 3.5-4.5 up.
Jay don't let hipsters try and steer ya wrong I had AT&T wireless internet and only powerline adapters allowed me to play online games Wifi was only 25 and giving me 400+ pings that Powerline had down to the 70-80's. Wireless is just a gimmick and good for facebook and tweeting but if you're a gamer you need ethernet or at least a powerline adapter.
Are there any security concerns? What if someone in another apartment plugs one in?
Why is the internet so slow in us? Jesus.. In europe we have 1000mb/s down with 200mb/up for about 15 dollars US :)

Where do you live?
I'm in the UK and on a good day I get 1.2mbs down, that's not a typo that's 1.2 down. Most of the time the upload test fails.
***** BT, they are the only ISP that will do our area
+CStefan84 yeah sur , 18/1 for 30$€
If you plug these in to different rooms, it really doesn't matter where you place them, because the signal has to go through the fusebox either way.
got a house that is 56+ years old and mine works fine -_-
***** i said +
i just said 56+ cuz i'm certain the house is over that age at least
extra info: some of the electrical wires are still inside metal pipes (not plastic)
Any chance you could see the performance difference when you move your power line adapter to a different circuit than the other adapter? Do you think the closer you plug the adapter to the breaker box the better connection you will get?
60/4 internet? fail...
+Roy Batty how is that fail? some ISPs are dicks. they charge $100+ monthly for decent upload speeds.
wow for 100 bucks NZD or around 70usd im getting 100 down and 50 up
+madhouse5213 same spark fibre ?
shuffle Gaming My republic standard gamer pack
+madhouse5213 100 down 50 up? I am using 1000 down 1000 up for years, it cost around USD25 in Hong Kong
In my experience neither option worked very well. A lot of houses don't have Ethernet, but many have better coax coverage. In that case, MoCA is definitely the way to go. Just being able to put another wireless access point on a second floor can make a huge difference.
Omg New Zealand has faster internet
Peetykay I live here in NZ too but I don't find I have anywhere near that internet speed lol
I live in wellington and we've got 1000 down and 500 up
texas here. trough ethernet i get 400down and 900up. my results are a bit odd.
I think it would be worth testing the power line from where the wireless sender is and also testing both as far away as you can
Not sure if it is where I live but I never get the speeds I want. Tired several different ones too. Access points wired is my only option that works good.
but if the power outlet is on a different circut.. then the signal is gonna go to the power panel n back to the extension on the different circut. I would have thought the type of wiring in your house would make the difference in speed if its the old oil/grease soaked wiring or newer wire with grounds
But do the results speak for themselves?? Kidding! Love ya, Jay!
I was getting 8 down and 15 up when using one of these which did not seem right, then I realized someone in my house had plugged it into a surge protector with a bunch of other stuff. I fixed that, so then I was getting 30 down and 20 up, still slower than what I payed for, so I tried switching it literally 2 feet away to a different outlet and I was getting the full 50 down 25 up
you do realize that each room has its own breaker and the power has to come from the breaker box, so going from one room to the next is still going through your entire house twice, unless your house was wired out of code and needs to be condemned.
I really hope this works for working from home!
I'm in a 110 year old house and the newer (1970's) wiring was jumbled together with the original 1920's wiring and I get my max throughput of 46mbps provided by my isp.
I didn’t know Jay had such terrible wifi before.
Beardless Jay can't hurt you
Beardless Jay:
Shut up
I would much rather know the LAN speeds than the internet speeds. Internet speeds can be extrapolated from the LAN speeds. For example, if the LAN speeds are higher than the internet speeds, you'll be able to get the full internet speed from your ISP.
My issue with this video is how you are describing the quality of the powerline adapters based on physical location. The physical location of a powerline adapter really has no bearing on the quality that it provides. It's not like a wireless router to where the closer you are to the router the better signal, and therefore speeds, you will get. Just because the powerline adapters are physically closer does not mean they will provide better speeds. Powerline adapter quality is based on the quality of wiring like you said, but more than likely two rooms (even if they are on top of each other) will have their own wiring back to the breaker panel whether they are on the same breaker or on a different breaker. So the signal will travel from one room, to the breaker panel, then back to the room with the other adapter. This means the quality of the adapters would actually be the exact same if they are plugged into 2 rooms beside each other as if they were plugged into two different rooms on the opposite sides of the house.
My experience with powerline was a positive one as well
Doubled my download speed, gave me a more consistent ping (not to certain if it was higher, lower or the same, but I haven't noticed a distance) and now there's 1 less wireless device
Oh also, if someone was to watch youtube for example, on another device, I would get terrible ping on my computer through wireless, which is not the case through powerline
I'd also like to state my computer is 2 floors above where my router and everything else is
I understand that most of users are using those adapters for connecting to internet, but what is the point of testing 1.2 Gb/s devices using 60 Mb internet connection? You should use some LAN connected source.
I used to play games on wifi, and my experience was terrible, even though I am literally in the same room as the router. It made games like CSGO a huge pain to even do decently in. Now, I have a full desktop computer in a room on the other side of the house. Now, I use powerline, and I can never go back to wifi. My experience with powerline was flawless. I almost never experienced lag, and if I did, it was most likely the server's problem.
Thanks for video. Useful. Have you tested actual download/upload speed between two point?
Could you also maybe test how distance affect the performance of the powerline adapter?
@JayzTwoCents Can you do a lan speed test between those two adapters? They advertise it as up to 1200, but when I had it I didn't get anywhere near the speed of 1 gigabit. (I think I was getting 600Mbps at most. Tested from different power outlets and even plugged them into the same outlet (one plugged into another).
You can use iperf program to test more accurately as file share testing doesn't always show the maximum speed.
My house is built in 2015 and we moved in during 2015 too. Would this be ok to use a few rooms away? Or should I try to get it ad close as possible if I have the room?
