Hi everyone,
I'm currently using a wireless connection at home which in terms of speed is OK, but it is very inconsistent. I am not able to directly connect via ethernet cable as the router is in the apartment bellow mine. However an ethernet cable from the router has already been brought to my apartment, but it is in the room next to the one where my PC is and it is just enough to reach a wall plug. So I thought I would get a Powerline Adapter kit and hopefully resolve my problem with the internet connection. This is where I need your advice please.
From what I read so far I understand that the speeds given by the manufacturers are just marketing and a 500Mbps kit with a 10/100 port can only deliver up to 100Mbps. I've got 130Mbps broadband so if I could get anything close to 100Mbps with the Powerline then HAPPY DAYS.
So I was wondering if for my current set up I could get away with something like that:
2x D-Link TalkTalk Powerline Adapters Model DHP-P326AV
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-D-Link-TalkTalk-Powerline-Adapters-Model-DHP-P326AV-Ethernet-Cables-Included-/311379633535?hash=item487fac257f:g:GgwAAOSwLVZVy2nO
or I should invest more ( in this case double ) and should get something like this one:
TP-LINK TL-PA451KIT AV500 with AC Pass Through
http://www.amazon.co.uk/TP-LINK-TL-PA451KIT-Powerline-Adapter-Through/dp/B00D8BGLMY/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1448578562&sr=8-3&keywords=powerline+adapter
I am aware that you get what you pay for, but since I do not have knowledge on Powerline Adapters I though I would ask for an advice first before I pay double more for something that may only sound better, but actually is not.
Many thanks !
