Hi,
I currently use TP-Link AV 500 home plugs. Never questioned the performance until recently I tried to stream from my new Synology NAS and found that I get stuttering.
This is streaming uncompressed Blurays, I have tried a few that have been compressed with Handbrake and they stream fine.
So did some tests in different parts of the house today and this is what I found.
Internet access - the home network is running faster than my broadband so I get full internet bandwidth.
I then tried some file transfers with my NAS first over Powerline/Homeplug and second other Ethernet.
What I found was that over AV 500 I am getting a consistent
40 Mbps (bits per second) write
20 Mbps (bits per second) read
I suspect that the 20 Mbps is not quite enough.
So thinking of upgrading to AV2 1300 or AV2 2000.
Will I see a significant improvement in the download speed?
Cheers,
Nigel
