bad networking 100mb of wi fi ?

[PachiMc]

hi i have of downstream 100mb and of upstream 10mb and my wi fi is not stable, before i had with ethernet connection and was fine but now i cant beacause i change the place and i am connected with wi fi, and is not stable, like 1 reboot between 5m, i want to know if there is some option like a extender and use it with ethernet?

dont use wifi use the newer Ethernet over your home wiring kits.
try to get the newer units that are both 2.4 and 5g. if you get a newer and faster rutter latter on you be ready.

omg that is possible ? i should have the same performance than having it directly from the router?

 

[bill001g]

It depends what you mean the same performance. Since your internet is only 100mbs then mostly yes. If it was gigabit internet then the the answer is no because powerline does not go as fast as actual ethernet cables. This table can be used as guide.

The big BUT is it all depends on your house wiring. Some houses you get faster and other slower. The newest av2- based technology works much better than the older av200 and av500 stuff. It even works in the newest houses that have those stupid arc-fault breakers that are required by building codes and blocked the older powerline devices.

i dont know if my wire home is all connected there isn some device for see this and the power? btw how are called the device for ethernet cable ?

 

[bill001g]

The electrical wires should be all connected, they go to a single power meter.

Not sure what you are asking. These type of devices are generally called powerline network.

beacause i live in argentina and i cant find it? are they new ? and btw i have like "sections" on my home that why i ask, and idk if this are connected, and which is the difference between this http://www.tp-link.com/us/home-networking/network-extenders/powerline and this http://www.tp-link.com/us/service-providers/powerline-adapters ? ty

They have been around for many years.

I am sure they make ones that work in Argentina. The first thing to find are one that have the correct electrical plugs. The ones for the USA of course will not fit in your outlets because they are different.

Then you have a number of options in the powerline units themselves. Mostly it is differences in speed but they also make models that let you plug things into the outlet even though the powerline unit is plugged into it.

This link will give you a general idea the differences. They do not have every model or brand but pretty much all devices are av200,av500, or av2-xxxx models. Things like the av2-1200 are the newer technology and work much better than the older av200 and av500 models.

https://www.smallnetbuilder.com/tools/charts/powerline/view

I know little about what exact devices will work in argentina. Pretty much if the plug will fit into your outlets it will work. Not sure if running plug adapters causes issues or not. I know you can not run USA based ones in any country that uses 220volt power, those type of converters completely block powerline devices.

as u can see there is only 1 model on argentina xdd https://listado.mercadolibre.com.ar/powerline-adapter#D[Aowerline-adapter] should i buy it ? are like 70usd

That is very unfortunate that they do not sell the newer models in Argentina. It does appear there is only 1 tplink model sold. There is also that one netgear but it has wireless radio also so it is more expensive. The netgear model is a av2-1000 and the tplink is av500.

Maybe send email to companies like tplink,trendnet,netgear,zyxel and see if they have information. There web sites might but I do not read spanish ones.

It is so easy to get these devices in the EU and in the USA. it is really too bad the power plugs where you live are different.

I can make no recommendation really. You do not really have much option. You tear walls up and run real ethernet or your run powerline. There are other things like MoCA that will run on coax cable but they are kinda expensive and you would need coax cable on both ends.

so i cant buy from usa and neither here, what about other brand ? like this ? https://articulo.mercadolibre.com.ar/MLA-622106059-router-netgear-repetidor-amplificador-de-senal-wifi-ex2700-_JM ty anyway

 

[bill001g]

That is not a poweline it is wireless repeater. It takes wireless in and retransmits it. If the wireless signal is poor it just retransmits a poor signal

yea but i cant buy one of the powerline adapter from usa ?

 

[bill001g]

There is the that one tplink you can buy.

Your problem is matching the plugs. The 3 prong one used in argentina is used in austrilia but not many other places. The 2 prong one should be the same as EU.

You can not even think to use once from the USA because in addition to the plug being different the voltages are different.

Since the difference between EU and argentina is mostly a physical plug difference you might be able to buy powerline devices from the EU and just use a physical plug converter.

I guess it depends if your house has type C or type I plugs.

This site explains the plug types. The specs on powerline adapters tell which plug type they have.

and what about voltage? that mather ? can work anyway, and if i just use an adapter i will have the same performace? i have the type l byw

 

[bill001g]

That site also show the voltages. There really are only 2 types 110 at 60hz and 220/240 at 50hz. The USA uses 110 and EU uses the 220 like Argentina. You can not use USA ones but the EU ones should work if you can get a physical plug to fit. Although it is likely against rules there is you could likely remove the type I outlet and put in a EU compatible outlet. They do make physical plug adapters that let covert from one plug type to another. Since the converters are simple metal and plastic boxes with no electronics it likely will have no performance impact on the powerline units.

Still if you are going to try to import devices you likely are better off just buying ones from austrilia since they use the same plugs. Most powerline device tolerate a range of voltages so they should work on any system that is 220-240.

They make lots of models for Australia....I wonder why they don't sell them in argentina.

are u sure ? read this http://www.tp-link.com/us/faq-406.html

Q: Can TP-LINK powerline adapters work in unstable power line circuit?

A: Yes. The voltage range that powerline adapters can work with is 100-240V, the general voltage fluctuation will not affect the stability.

this should work for me ?

btw i cant choose for ship to argentina in that web ;(

 

[bill001g]

I never noticed that. Yes that means they work on any voltage so it is purely a matter of getting the plugs correct.

It is hard buying stuff internationally. Only country that seems easy lately is china but so much fake stuff on those sites.

o so that mean i should buy one on usa and buy a adapter ?

 

[bill001g]

If they make adapters like that. It would just have to physically convert the plug. Be very sure the USA ones are really rated 110-220.

The powerline pretty much is just using the wires as antenna....other than taking the power it need to run its chips.
