Hi,
I recently started using a room on the 2nd floor as a work/study room. I am using a 1750 AC router with 3 antenas on the 1st floor.The rooter provides exceptional signal strength on the entire 1st floor, however, for some reason, I barely get any signal on the 2nd floor and ground floor.
I bought an ac1200 wifi extender, for the second floor room, but I am able to get up to 15Mbit/s when it is connected to the 5ghz network of the main router and extending wifi into both 2.4 and 5ghz, and up to 0.7 Mbit/s when it connects to 2.4Ghz. The singal on this floor is very weak in the first place....
I calculated I would need aprox 50m of LAN cable, I am thinking about powerline adapters. The best ones I could find nearby are D link AV2 1000 with a gigabit ethernet port .
According to some article online, it seems that rated gigabit speeds are just a number on the package, and I could expect 10-15% of this.
Can anyone provide some real world performance data using powerline adapter kits.
What else should I know for powerline installation:
- layout of the power installations- read somewhere that this works only if both units are connected to the same power consumer loop (I have a fuse box on each floor - will this even work?)
- What to look out for to maximize powerline performance?
I hope to get atleast 500-600 Mbit/s real world performance.
Is this achievable with powerline?
