[REVIEW] NETGEAR 1200 PowerLINE Adapter - To Use or Not To Use?!

[@JohnyDays69]

COVID-19 Welcoming....I loved it.....!

[@Welbeloved]

When it comes to plugging in the device & finding the best power socket, it's color coded on the pick a plug LED indicator. That would have saved you a ton of time.

[@officialdh4253]

What do you mean I just bought them

[@marcoalvarado2790]

The difference in test results is likely due to the pair of powerlines being on different electrical circuits. If you want powerline to perform well in a nearby room you can test your circuits by shutting them off one by one. Hopefully an outlet in the room where router resides is also paired with an outlet in the room where you need the other powerline.

[@ccf805]

When testing Laptop to Laptop via Powerline, did you assign static IP addresses to the laptops? When I tried this, my laptops were DHCP enabled and got APIPA IP addresses assigned. I couldn't ping between the two APIPA addresses so, I assigned static IP addresses and still wouldn't work. Powerline does work when hooked up to my network via a switch and router and I can ping. It just won't work when hooked up directly between the 2 laptops.

[@ccf805]

Although I wasn't able to ping between the 2 laptops before running iperf3, I ran and iperf3 and it worked! I was expecting I had to be able to ping between the 2 laptops before I could successfully run iperf. I was also able to run it with APIPA and with static IP addresses. Thanks for your video and introducing me to iperf!

[@spo0keyg452]

Also use a cat6 or higher not the one that comes with it

[@nicodalumpines8827]

Why didn't use the network cable that came with it?

[@Behfor]

Because it doesn't matter! I already had a CAT6 cable available so I used that!

[@countrykid1640]

I can say for a situation like mine, for example rather than spend money on point to point or running a new cat 6 cable from my house to my barn, they are a good option. In my situation my barn feed comes from the main panel in the house so they are on the same meter. which this gives me internet access in the barn via the netgear adapters that have built in wifi as well. however my only real reason to get internet to the barn is to station cameras to get a better view of the property. I do have my house wired for gigabit, all gigabit gear and also fiber at 1Gbps symmetrical. while my speeds in the house of course test out close to it. over powerline the best i could get was 130 mbps down and up which is fine for all i need it to do. however if I planed to have a man cave outside of the house i would run a line to it. everyones situation is different. powerline is a good option for this to me, however it fits what i want to do. however in a house i can see if you dont have many or any ethernet drops in the house but need to hardware something this could be useful however dont expect to get full speed almost expect it to seem more like a wireless wired connection in a sense of speed depending on the range. you would almost be better in that sense to just get a good access point and decent equipment and get the same or better results.

Why the fuck did u keep the sneeze in

[@BlaGGah]

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ve been using the TP-Link Av1200 3 port power line adapters now for a couple years. The first pair was a Christmas gift. I just moved to a new home and recently bought another pair to expend my connectivity and stumbled upon the AiMesh technology. I have a few questions, do you have some sort of other Medium to better communicate? I’d greatly appreciate it.

[@harvgill76]

I just need to know what speed you would have got with a wireless repeater using the same distance in the home. Great Video. Thanks!

[@aljacko1]

Use an online wifi speed detector on your smartphone (google how fast is my wifi) when stood next to your router and the speed via the Powerline will be around of what your router is providing. However the stability of a ‘wired’ connection is the benefit here. My son’s Xbox One X was receiving 165Mbps in his bedroom over wifi but still suffered from lag. Now it is hardwired via a Powerline he gets 90Mbps but Fortnite and CoD NEVER lag and the games are visible better to play. Best money I’ve spend and no more GOD DAMN LAG screaming.

[@raindarkx838]

@@aljacko1 ahhh the good old lag scream

[@philiprobar]

As other reviewers have shown +/-100 Mbps is normal for AV2 Powerline adapters. This is more than good enough for multiple 1080P or 4K video streams. You repeatedly say that Powerline adapters aren't reliable, but nothing in your video (or my several years of using them) justifies that. Why do you raise this as an issue?

[@Behfor]

I didn't "repeatedly" say these aren't reliable, said it maybe once or twice! Yes +/-100 might be good for video streaming purposes but only if you get that speed all the time. Unfortunately with powerline adapters (as I said in the video) many factors are involved that can decrease the spreed and there is no guarantee you get 100Mbps all the time, one minute it can be 10Mbps another minute 100Mbps. Again, as I said in the video, I would only use these to connect "end devices" to my network and not 2 wireless routers together and that was the whole point because even 100Mbps can be a major bottleneck for connecting wireless routers! If you never had any speed issues with your adapters then good for you! Thanks!

[@anatoliipapenko3918]

I have 4K videos with 50MBps, so 100Mbps is definitely not enough.

[@FIGHTERFAB]

I recently had att fiber put in and went to best buy for these.Plugged in,got the three green lights and logged in.Tried everything but only got 30 to 40 mbps .Took em back to best buy for refund.Stopped at home depot on the way back and bought 100 ft. of cat5e for 14 bucks and ran the cat5 under the carpet and thru 2 walls unseen straight to the computer.968 mbps down,980 up.Yes,more work,but the results were worth it.

[@Behfor]

Thanks so much for sharing your experience! I agree with you, if cabling is possible, it's absolutely faster and more reliable than powerline adapters!

[@FIGHTERFAB]

@@Behfor I really wanted these to work,I moved them around and reset them multiple times and spent many hours on settings and such.But it just did not matter,I even had the att fiber install tech here with me at the time checking for interference and giving suggestions.My house was built in 1990 so maybe that is why,I dont know,but,I tried really hard to make these work better with limited results.This was on a dell desktop bout 30 feet away.

These work great for WiFi connecting throughout the house, problem is, it's causing my exterior speaker system to static. Anyone else having that problem or know of a fix?

[@m6licee]

Yeah my friend got this thing too and I’m deciding to buy one as well my friend usually resets his mic

[@Matt-xr6ub]

I’m getting a red light how do I get green?

[@uhzeke8045]

Matt same

[@dogger1619]

Did u ever figure it out

[@Hoobz19]

I use this for my Xbox and the other powerline 1000 is in a room across the house. But my brother uses his Xbox in the room with our adapter and whenever he gets on the Xbox it kicks me off the internet. How do I fix this? Respond please!!!!

[@xHyp3rus]

Mine will not connect

[@FKKR]

my ping is 17 but im still lagging on my video game what a waste of money.

[@cod4r]

I just bought the PL1000 v2 and I'm getting the full 30 Mbps on my desktop which is in the living room, so one adapter is in my bedroom while the other is in the living room, the first adapter is connected to a Multi-Plug Outlet which still gives me the full 30 Mbps speed and the second one is directly connected to the wall socket. Go figures.

[@peterweiss4993]

Bless u

[@Behfor]

thanks you!

[@DeafBlindMan]

Lol if it has so many problems with distance and interference just use wifi :D

[@maxrodriguez881]

I would but my job requires ethernet so I need this to work

[@blackboi213]

What is i pair

[@Behfor]

IPerf is a network speed test tool. Check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXu0mGpso9agptU

Thanks!!

[@zbridgjpxupzm]

150 Mbps (18 MB/s) in the same room is terrible for the advertised 1200 Mbps. I get more than 150 Mbps using 5GHz wifi 2 rooms away from my router.

[@DarkZeroNemesis1]

That’s max speed of the extender, most internet providers do not Offer these speeds

[@EpicClipsEpic]

Smh

[@KeepoKreepo]

I get 8mbps max (unreliable) from my wifi a room away, I'm guessing these will be an improvement?

[@EpicClipsEpic]

@@KeepoKreepo use an ethernet cable for the best results

Given that this video was uploaded in 2018, the answer is no! Thanks :-)
