PL1000
Dear forum reader,
Is it possible to establish a stable digital connection using a Dear forum reader,
Is it possible to establish a stable digital connection using a Powerline 1000 adapter, from a “NOKIA XGS-PON ONT” to a ZTE Experia Box V10?
Thank you for your help and information.

Hello JEV50
Modern ONT like the NOKIA XGS-PON ONT (version unknown, some have one 10 GbE port, few models have about three additional 1 GbE ports) and can serve (your ISP or fiber provider like KPN permitting) are much more than a pure XGS-PON ONT (like a "Modem"), and include a full home gateway, allowing to serve your home LAN direct, also per Wi-Fi).
I understand the Experia Box V10 again is also a fully blown home router, supplied in the Netherlands e.g. by KPN, and it might support additional one or two POTS (plain old telephone service) ports to connect classic analogue phones.
Technically, a simple older PL1000 might serve as a replacement for a probably non-existing at least CAT5E or CAT6A network cable - but it will never support modern speeds in anywhere near from 1 Gb/s your Internet connection might be offering (technically 10 GB!).
Further on, I would have some concerns that these elderly Powerline devices are aging fast, and the reliability is at risk.
Definitely a better choice would be the investment in a good network cable between the ONT and the Experia Box V10.

-Kurt.

The powerline doesn't care what's on the end of the Ethernet. It just acts as a bridge. If the powerline circuit is good, it should work.
Thanks, This help me. Have a nice day.

Thanks, Kurt.
I have 40 Mbps DSL. When KPN fiber arrives (at the end of this year), I'll be happy with a 100 or 200 Mbps connection. I have one PC, one tablet, one smartphone, one TV, and one old analog phone.
I don't have any games or other high demands on a super-fast connection. With KPN, it's a matter of price. The faster, the more expensive.
If my powerline experiment fails, I can always install a Cat6 or Cat7.
Have a nice Day.
