How decent, I'm assuming new wires in old house?
- vetinari 3y agoAbout ~400 mbps via TP-Link TL-PA7017P; electricity was re-done in early 1980's, so about 40 years old 2.5mm^2 copper.
- fmajid 3y agoI wouldn't advise it, powerline technology is very flaky and even less reliable than WiFi. I have a Devolo G.hn powerline bridge and my parents as well, the one downstairs requires power-cycling about once a week (why they don't just put a watchdog timer in the unit eludes me).
- maxglute 3y agoIs it only that adapater or are you power cycling on both ends? Too much work dragging / cable management in my current setup. I'm looking to remote stream / remote play my desktop to living room and bed room TV. From what I'm reading, it feels smoother even when there's more latency. But power cycling multiple adapters would be a issue though.
- fmajid 3y agoJust one end suffices. I think the software for the Broadcomm PLC controller chipset is flaky and needs a swift kick in the pants every now and then, which is why a simple heartbeat protocol with a watchdog timer should suffice.
