Power Line

What do you recommend me best because I'm considering buying Powerline for my $ 134 budget

Re: Power Line

Well thats a challenging statement. 

You posted in the wireless extender page about powerline devices and didn't post much info. 

What are you trying to do? 

How big is your home? 

what are the interior walls made of? 

What router are you connecting it to? 

Are you just wanting powerline or powerline with wifi?

 

as well as an FYI, powerline doesn't work great in all homes. Some homes have interference that causes issues with powerline.

Re: Power Line

The house is big, but I want initial coverage that matches my budget, and then we'll continue later
I've researched several technologies, including network technology and electrical current, and since the modem is in my dad's room and refuses to transmit it, I have two options, either Wi-Fi or power line technology, then it turns out that PowerLine is better. Given the strength of insulators, what do you better think

Insulators iron reinforced cement

The Huawei modem is old

I want a Wi-Fi power line because there are mobile phones

Re: Power Line

so go to netgears powerline section and check off the "wifi" box and it'll show you those with integrated wireless. 

https://www.netgear.com/home/wired/powerline/

 

Keep in mind, it won't be mesh as there isn't currently a powerline/mesh device.

You could always use powerline devices as the backhaul connect (not wireless ones) and use a mesh system like orbi if you want a seamless roaming/mesh system.

Is there a 2000 Mbps Wi-Fi line that is not available in the store and I want to search for it outside the store?

I want to buy a Power Line device + Wi-Fi Power Line, and I cannot differentiate between products and I am wrong. Please mention it to me by the model so that I can choose

Re: Power Line

Hardware wise they're identical. It was for marketing purposes from what I can tell.

Is the Access Point option better than Powerline for me?
