TP Link speed - Gaming Consoles

[Mark986]

In my house I've been unable to put my router where I wanted it near my PC in my room or near my gaming consoles in the frontroom. Internet speed isn't particularly fast here either but it's decent.

I've got one TP Link near the router and three different ones plugged in in the frontroom for an Xbox 360, Xbox One and PS4 also one in the bedroom for my PC. I wasn't able to plug them in direct to a main socket so there in extensions (there's only two plugs and I have 13 things plugged in using surge protectors).

Question is it says the Xbox 360 says network card is 10/100 Megabits per second and the Xbox One's Gigabit ethernet. I get a lot of lag in some games on my Xbox 360 hasn't been as bad on the Xbox One is this due to the transfer speed on the TP link to the 360 or the broadband speed in general?

Wireless is not really reliable for gaming my friend. If I were you, I'd purchase myself a powerline adapter. It's something better than WIFI connection and will reduce your lag immensely.

Sorry forgot to mention this is what I'm using yes - http://www.ebuyer.com/370669-tp-link-tl-pa411kit-500mbps-mini-powerline-adapter-twin-pack-tl-pa411kit

Question was more about the differences between the 10/100 ethernet card on the 360 and the gigabit ethernet on the xbox one. Could this affect the speed when using powerline adapters the speed of the internal network.

I mean I know there's nothing I can do about the network card speed on a console just interested if that's the cause?

It depends how fast your internet connection is. Most times the powerlink device are faster than the internet so they do not slow you down at all.

The 10/100 port on a device they claim can do 500m should be a good clue even the manufacture knows the 500m is a magic number nobody can really get. It should not matter if you have a gig port or a 100m port the powerline devices tend to not even be able to run the full 100m.

You need to be sure you have these powerline devices plugged directly into the wall. You mention you have surge protectors. If you plug these powerline devices into a surge protector it will degrade the performance a lot. Many times it does not work at all. I would if you have to use a different outlet even on the other side of the room.
