Hi all, I am aware that this post will be judged as perhaps trivial or quite unfounded. I hope some will stick with me. Let me make clear from the beginning that I am not a net enthusiast, but for pretty much everything in life, I like to have the best that my budget allows and thus I like to...

I currently use a pair of TP-Link AV600 (TL-PA6010) to provide an internet feed to an AP and roku in my master bedroom. The powerline adapters provide about 30mbps down of my potential 100mbps down from the ISP. I have no issue getting my full ISP speeds from the router itself. I recently...

I have an RT-AC66U as my main router downstairs. WiFi is spotty upstairs, so I've been trying to extend it using a couple of Powerline adapters I had lying around and a second cheap router I bought, but I keep running into problems. As I understand it, this is the procedure: you copy the WiFi...

So, a number of years ago when we moved into this house I looked at the options for getting network connectivity where I wanted it. Settled on a combination of wifi and powerline networking to get to some spots that were on the wrong side of an HVAC duct, or that just needed a more stable...
