Powerline AV 500 Network Speeds
I have the following setup: WNR2000v2 router XAVB5004 (adapter + adapter-switch AV 500) 100 Base-T NIC and wire from computer to router Adapter connected to router Powerline utility claims t...
What do you mean? Aren't powerlines/wires how the powerline networks supposed to run?
LAN speed is only 100mbps in theory. In practice it is usually lower. I can do computer->laptop through the router wired at around 80Mbps. Presumably I ought to be able to get close to that with computer->powerline->laptop since powerline above 100Mbps, but in practice I am getting 30-40 Mbps, which tells me that's how fast the powerline network is transferring. Even in the same room I only get up to around 50Mbps. Hence the question as to what kind of throughput are people seeing on their AV 500 powerline network. 50Mbps is much slower than 500Mbps maximum would imply (90% degradation just sounds high). Also powerline utility claims 100-200 Mbps between two powerline devices, but it is obviously off.
