Hi!
I'm looking to gain some speed in my homeplug network. I only use homeplug as a means to get a cabled connection to my TV and Apple TV which both reside in an area where I can't run a proper twisted pair ethernet cable. Oh yes and for my heat pump but the bandwidth demands of that device are miniscule .
I'm using Devolo DLAN 1200 products but I'm only getting some 200/80mbit to the TV but 400/300mbit to the heat pump which is much closer to the adapter connected to my router.
Devolo has a product that connects in your electrical junction box. Brilliant! You can't get any closer to all adapters than to be right in the middle. So I'm thinking I should get me one of those. BUT I can't get an ethernet cable to the junction box either and the way I understand it this adapter is meant to be the "primary" one.

So my question now is if I'd see a higher throughput between my router connected homeplug adapter and the TV one if I had one of those junction connected adapters in the middle?
I've read through all the standards and white papers on homeplug networking but I can't seem to work out what the topology actually looks like. Does all traffic go through one central node like a switch or a router or does it work more like a wifi network where all nodes receive all signals and the one it is addressed to pick it up and the rest disgard it?
Thanks,
Kent
