This, easy enough done although not necessarily cheap.
BTW, does your neighbours husband know you're recording his wife in the bathroom?

I don't understand all this tech... why do they state 500mbps then??

It's called legalised lying.

Simple spelling mistake we've all made a spelling mistake before but thank you for pointing it out I'll edit it to keep the grammar Nazi's happy.

KERMITZBITZ

I don't understand all this tech... why do they state 500mbps then??

Think of it like a 5 laned motorway with 100 cars on each lane, every stop 100 cars can get off at the junction. With 200Mb there are only 2 lanes. There is no need for a 1Gb port on powerline at the moment, very few if any devices have the capabilty for that. If you are only running 1 device from powerline you only need the 200Mb really, TPL-308E2K. 500AV is for 2 or more devices. I have these, you get better speed than the TP-Link ones i used to have, considerably better speed.

@KERMITZBITZ

They aren't really meant for people who need fast speeds for file transfers. They can't transfer 500mbps in both directions. Halve it and then there are overheads.

If you can run cables these are by far the best option.

I don't do any transferring but I have weak wifi in 2 areas of the house and STB that need net access. I will be using them to connect up wifi access points.

You only need about 10-12Mbps for a reliable HD stream from lovefilm

Providing your broadband can achieve this your home plugs could do 8x this.

Your intended purpose is similar to mine, these would be fine with a little extra in reserve.

KERMITZBITZ

So would these be ok for watching Lovefilm on my Smart TV upstairs then?

get DVD of the "love" film:p

Just grabbed now.

Just came on to post these. Had them in my basket for a while now... finally the waiting paid off!

Thanks mate ordered.

Would running these alongside the devolo ones cause any problems. I know they are not compatable.
Thanks

I haven't used any of these devices before but looking into it as I have about 5 network cables running all over the house. I have 120Mb virgin media connection and although these state they are "500mbps", they only come equipped with 10/100 ethernet ports. Am I right in thinking that these are infact limited to 100mbps speeds? I'd probably have for find some with gigabit ports instead to get my full speed

Does anyone know if these works with TP-Link ones?

Thanks

Just bought these a few days ago for £25 damn, I suppose Amazon dont have any price promise things where you would get the difference back if it becomes cheaper?

Yes they will be limited to 100mbps but you probably won't even get that. Very few of the 500mbps devices ever exceed 100mbps and most don't even approach 100mbps in real world use. My 500mbps homeplugs usually transmit and receive around 80mbps.

Yh I have a network of 4 adapters set up with these and yes they are limited to 100Mbps. I average around 9.2MB/s when transferring files across computers but that is with extension cables. So these plugs would be good if you just plan to spread the internet across the house rather than using wi-fi but since you have a 120Mb broadband I suggest looking at something else.

Ordered a couple of packs

Leap of faith as I read no reviews on speed but seems like a great price.

These small ones tend to overheat - be careful

I PAID the previous price a month ago. Damn
These are great. Got them as replacements for Chinese ones off a different site which were useless
These worked, straight out of the box. Excellent

Anyone tested these with ipads/iphone? I have tp link ones but these are notoriously bad at connecting to apple technology (and we rarely get a usable ipad signal in the half of the house that they cover...)

The devolo's from the last deal are currently sat at 150mbps, not sure of the point of these.

@PhilK

I've use home plugs but I only have 50Mbps ones

I don't need experience of 500Mbps ones. I already know noise, security and overheads make these plugs opperate at much slower than the misleading advertised speeds.

As for file transfers I was referring to people who move huge GB files around. Sure you might hit your 70Mbps fibre speeds now on computers further away from the router but if you move files over to a network drive or backup over networks you would really want gigabit Ethernet which would be 8x faster than these.

Which are better then, these or the Devolo ones? I have 30mb virgin broadband

(edited)

Is it correct that these will not pass through RCD breakers? or any others 'they won't work with....?

Need to get internet at the end of the garden to set up an ethernet webcam, but... the power to the end of the garden goes through a plug in RCD

Any ideas?

Too far for Wifi to reach.
Thanks

I recently bought these mainly because I can still use the power socket as a power socket. I also have 30mb Sky and I haven't noticed a difference from an ethernet connection and theses.

Can you not upgrade to a wireless N+ router I remember read that some have a range of up to a mile, then use your old router as a bridge.

Have you considered a Power over Ethernet webcam and just run cat5e cable to the end of your garden from a PoE switch in the house?

beat me to it! I ordered these, cannot be arsed with an unreliable wireless connection anymore, on the 2.4 band you get lots of interference too and didn't fancy paying for a new router.

I don't understand all this tech... why do they state 500mbps then??

They are actually 250mbps upstream, and 250mbps downstream. Total 500mbps.

But as the ports are capped at 100mbps maximum, you won't see higher than that anyway.

I need some help guys, I'm not quite sure if these are the devices I need to solve my internet problem at home.

So, I've recently moved to a new place which has a really poor broadband connection (already spoken to BT/Virgin and no fibreoptic available!). It's a 3 storey property and the router is on the ground floor. Of course my study & bedroom is on the top floor!

I'm looking for something to boost the signal from the router so it actually reaches up here at a usable connection (it's literally 4-5mbs...).

Would these help me out? As in I plug one of these to the router via ethernet, then plug the other in upstairs and plug in another ethernet to my laptop? Would really appreciate some advice!

is it work only with main socket? thanks

is it work only with main socket or with extension as well m thanks

yep.. this is exactly what you need

Thank you OP.
