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...
Here's my set up.
AV Gear > XAV5004 (Lounge) > XAV5001 (Study) > Linksys WRT54GV2.0 > Media Server PC.
Results:
Netgear Powerline Utility > 40Mbps
Network Meter (File Transfer) > ~20Mpbs
*Test done using Laptop ethernet port into the 5004 10 meters away from 5001
When All the AV gear is switched off, consisting of Samsung TV, PS3, AC Ryan PlayonHD2 mini, FoxtelHD STB, the results improve slightly.
Netgear Powerline Utility > 60Mbps
Network Meter (File Transfer) > ~30Mpbs
Testing the 5004 in another location (5 meters away) provided much better results.
Netgear Powerline Utility > 160Mbps
Network Meter (File Transfer) > ~75Mpbs
Just to rule out the router as a bottleneck I tested the laptop directly into it transfering a file from the media server pc and got ~90Mbps in Network Meter.
I really would like to see this though.
