    Homeplug development stopped ?

    Is it correct to state that Homeplug development stopped in 2016 ? Meaning the 2000Mbps products released in 2016 (eg TP-Link PA9020) are effectively the last generation of Homeplug, there will be nothing newer or better in the future ? (from wiki) "On 18 October 2016, the HomePlug Alliance...

    TP-Link PowerSave Mode - possible fix for dropouts

    It was one of the first things I tried to fix TP-Link homeplug dropouts. Many many years ago. It did not work for me, only constant pings work.

    Intermittent Powerline Dropout

    It's a strange one that the ping solution would work for 7 months and then no longer work. Perhaps in the winter months you have more appliances turned on, and more frequently- central heating, lights etc. Perhaps the additional noise in your home means that even the ping solution is not enough...

    Intermittent Powerline Dropout

    That's good to hear but I would like to see fixes for all the previous generations of TP-Link adapters which suffer from the same dropouts.

    Expired? - was [PSA] TP-Link PowerLine AV500 Refund Program

    Interesting that the program is offered in the US but not UK. What are peoples thoughts, do the US units have some technical difference that would cause issues which UK units don't experience?

    Intermittent Powerline Dropout

    You can usually figure out which chipset is used by going to the product website and downloading a firmware update, check the included files.

    Intermittent Powerline Dropout

    I experienced these drop-outs with several generations of powerline adapter. I think I did not experience it with TP-Link 200Mbps units from many years ago but it's so long I can't be sure. If you go to TP-Link forums it's a very common complaint. I troubleshot extensively, cables, network...

    Mixing zydeco and tp-link powerline units

    Try manually assigning each unit the same network name (by default HomeplugAV but name it something else if you are worried about your neighbours). This should be happening automatically when you pair them using the button on each unit but try manually to see if you have any better luck. You...

    ZyXEL PLA5405 1200 Mbps Powerline Gigabit Ethernet Adapter Reviewed

    The UK Adverts Standard Authority recently banned a Zyxel 500Mbps powerline advert for advertising unrealistic and unachievable speeds, and also warned Zyxel about future claims: http://www.asa.org.uk/Rulings/Adjudications/2014/12/ZyXEL-Communications-Corp/SHP_ADJ_278708.aspx#.VLeqpnulAal...

    BCM60500 based product for 230V markets

    BT have an 1800Mbps product (BT Flex 1800) supposedly coming to the UK market in Feb.

    TP-Link AV200 Nano connection inexplicably slow.

    11Mbps is the standby speed reported by TP-Link homeplug units.

    Homeplugs losing security?

    My TP-Link utility works with various TP-Link adapters, Zyxel and Trendnet. Im sure there are some restrictions about what chipsets work with what utility but there is definitely some standardisation. The utilities from most manufacturers look like they're based on the same reference...

    Homeplugs losing security?

    Homeplug security is based around the network name. Out of the box the network name is usually HomeplugAV. When you use the pair button, it generates a random network name. First confirm that this is actually working by plugging directly into both homeplug and check the network name using...

    Buying advice for NAS HD Streaming?

    The advantage of homeplugs for streaming video is stability rather than throughput in my experience. I don't know what video player you are using on your FireTV but I find that XBMC or Plex are not very tolerant to interruptions. A momentary dropped signal is often enough to freeze/crash...

    HomePlug AV2 availability in the UK?

    1000Mbps models are SISO-750 (1.8-86.1) 1200Mbps models are MIMO-1000 (1.8-67.5) 1800Mbps models are MIMO-1500 (1.8-86.1) So you want to look at 1200Mbps models - TL-PA8010, TPL-420E2K (and 421 for passthrough), Dlan 1200+, PLA5405 (and 5415 for passthrough). I don't see any in stock in the...

    ZyXEL PLA5206 AV2 1000

    Is there any explanation for the TP-Link 600Mbps testing much faster than the other 600Mbps QCA7450 units?

    Powerline AV2 1800 adapter

    I think Homeplug alliance have got a real problem with their naming schemes. Every time I read about Homeplug on deal sites, 90% of the comments are people complaining about the real world speed vs the label on the box. It's only going to get more ridiculous in the future. How many times...

    AV2 1200 powerline products

    Devolo DLAN 1200+ reviews have been popping up on Amazon.de over the past week or so. Mixed bag so far. Pcwelt reviewed them in July and found them to be a bit faster than the 650s but not even close to 2x faster...
