It is an inherent problem with testing these devices that the result is extremely dependent on the specific environment the test is being performed in. LAN over power wiring is an example of where you cannot turn to any one review to get a definitive answer, you need to sample quite a few to get...

If so, I think we would have seen some collaboration announcements to that effect. The manufacturers seem perfectly happy to simply put a higher number on their product, witness the 1Gbit/s Zyxel 5206.... Incidentally, since the faster protocol (so far only implemented by the Broadcom chipset...

The Devolo 1200 is actually available in my country right now (at ridiculous prices for just having a new chip, but still) And since they use the same chipset as most of the announced AV2-MIMO products I can't for the life of me understand what is holding Zyxel, TP-link, TrendNet and all the...

Well, people are particularly interested in powerline, because bandwidth is about to take a step up, and from a multitude of manufacturers, with the introduction of AV2-MIMO. Hopefully before hell freezes over. But, as you point out yourself, this is highly situational. I live in an old brick...

The article I found here was in german, if you can't read it either google translate it or just read the tabulated numbers. They have two tables - different distances under good conditions, and different distances under worse conditions. The 1200 outperforms the 650 consistently by 30-40% under...

Yes, I think we are all waiting for AV2 MIMO. Once we can evaluate those devices, we can assess the whole of the HomePlug market. It's been a long wait. The Devolo 1200 has been reviewed, and it did provide substantial improvements in some metrics, never coming close to a factor two over its...
