Maybe slightly off topic but does anyone know what's happening with powerline?
It seems to have stalled out development in about 2015. G.Hn has came along but doesn't seem to offer speeds that are any better. I can get about 150mbit/sec on AV1200 adaptors and maybe double that on 300mbit/sec.
It seems to me that if "WiFi 7" esque modulation techniques were used with powerline we could get far better speeds on it. For example 8x8 MIMO (AV2000 uses 2x2), with perhaps a larger frequency band would enable multigigabit over powerline?
- BenjiWiebe 3y agoI don't think you can do MIMO with wired stuff. Isn't it using multiple paths/polarizations to get more bandwidth? You can't do that with wired unless you run more wires. Anyways there's a lot more differences between how a wired protocol works and how a wireless protocol works. Mostly not interchangeable.
- orev 3y agoPowerline causes a lot of radio interference and is generally discouraged as much as possible. It should only be used as a last resort if nothing else works, including WiFi. It’s much better to use MoCa over coax and setup WiFi APs.
