Thanks for this video Richard. I've been in IT for 35 years and couldn't get a straight answer on my concerns. Such as Phase 3, same circuits etc. I wanted to assume that it would all work but then as I said I've been in IT for 35 years so I know better :-). You made this nice and simple in terms of my confidence that I didn't have to be an electrician.

Just wanted to say this video is extremely well done. This is the type of information I want from a video when I need to learn about something from scratch. Thanks man.

[@footube3]

Super detailed video 🙌, but a couple of points of clarification: 1. You don't have to press the pairing buttons with these things as they work straight away without pairing anyway. The pairing button just gives you an additional layer of encryption for your network traffic, and IMO this is mostly just for marketing purposes since anybody motivated to snoop on your network traffic that also has access to your power lines almost certainly has access to your network too. 2. IMO it makes no sense to pay extra for Cat6 cables with these things since the Cat5 cables that come with them will get you to ~600Mbps, yet you'll never get speeds anywhere near that fast over the power line, so the slowest link will never be the Ethernet cable. Thanks so much!

[@oL00No]

Insanely well done! Having gone through 20-odd videos on the subject, made by people who don't understand what a network even is, this video was everything I was looking for. Thank you! Now, I am running out to get a powerline network 🏃‍♂️

[@samwywrot8149]

Just bought these the other day, very happy with them. Low ping, no packet loss, 50-70% of my max internet speed with the cat5's. Running them in an old house to different fuses on my breaker and one actually is going through a strip just because of limited outlet access near my gateway. Like you said, absolutely amazed how quick and easy the pairing process was. Just two presses of a button.

I just bought one of these today and they are great! Just moved in with some people and I don't want to be a dick and run a long ethernet cord all the way to my room and I'm not allowed to drill holes or put up a bunch of tacks on the walls, but the Powerline is a great alternative and I highly recommend. My online gaming experience is just as good as having a cord in my opinion...but you know, I would always prefer the cord, naturally haha.

With the speed limit coming from the connection between the adapters, why should I spend the extra money on the cat6 cable?

Not pathetic at all if you have a trade or skill to make up for it. I didn't know either and I'm not going to put myself down for not knowing everything.

[@90Christopher]

What is the best way to use it? Go from the modem to the adapter then to the routers . Or go from the modem to the router then to the 1st adapter and then the 2nd adapter to another router then to a PC or gaming console

[@richardlloydusa]

I would experiment and see what works best for you. Just regard these as ethernet cables. Regardless of the configuration their performance will be the same as the powerlines in the walls will not change. Thank you so much for commenting and watching. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀

how has this been working for you?

[@duncanseath745]

I have heard that some powerline adaptors have built in WiFi functionality also. Not what those people who are trying to prevent radio frequency radiation pollution want. That could explain how you are getting your adaptors to work on separate electrical circuits.

[@rogereriksen2472]

Did you notice the amber data direction arrow switched to top to bottom after you did the refresh? When you started using LANBench, it switched back to the original bottom to top direction. Don't know why I noticed this menial occurrence when I have been fighting for over a week now trying to get my AV600 units to pair.

[@JohnAPettyII]

Richard, great info! Thank you very much. I came looking for guidance as I am about to purchase a PL Kit for my home. I went to purchase via your provided link but at this point (02/2022) it's a bit dated and the item on Amazon is not available as it has a newer version of the product. Question #1, Will buying the next generation version still support your efforts if started from your link, BUT subsequently chose another link for the newer product? Also, it seems the newer version on the product does not need a router on the remote unit and replicates the settings and ID of the original router [Item: TP-Link Powerline WiFi Extender (TL-WPA7517KIT) - AV1000 Powerline Ethernet Adapter with Dual Band WiFi, OneMesh, Gigabit Port, Ethernet Over Power, Plug & Play] and all this is inconsistent with your excellent instructional video, it (the updated item) seems to greatly simplify the process to get started. Question # 2, for signal strength and reliability, should I only use a PL Kit that requires a second router on the remote unit? Please advise

[@richardlloydusa]

Thanks for the info on the links. I updated the affiliate link in the video description to point to the new hardware (which looks really interesting) Here is the affiliate link for you too so you don't have to dig for it. TP-Link Powerline WiFi Extender (TL-WPA7517KIT) - AV1000 At Amazon: amzn.to/3orRXxQ Or eBay: bit.ly/34Et5MA Please understand that I have not tested this new technology so I can't really comment on how well it works in any configuration. I have been very pleased with all the TP-Link products I have purchased in the past and continue to use them to this day. There is no issue in using the same SSDI and password on a secondary router or access point if it does not overlap the wifi signal of the primary. My assumption here (and probably TP--Link's assumption) is that you wouldn't need a powerline adapter if you had a good WIFI signal where you are installing the access point. I would purchase the kit from Amazon and see how it works for you. If you like it, keep it. Amazon has an excellent return policy (keep all the packaging) if it does not work for you. Thank you so much for commenting and the very kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀

[@frfr1956]

If I were to plug one into my main router in the living room, then plug the second in my room and hook up a second router to it, could I use that second router as another main router? Also how do I know if my room and living room are in the same circuit?

[@okljezadec]

Finaly i have found answer wich no one explained. In your video there is manual where is said that devices have to be connected on same electrical circuit. If you have three phase power line, two devices must be on same line L1-L1 L2-L2 or L3-L3.

[@1111Paiste]

@@richardlloydusa Thanks for your quick response. I tried it in our newly renovated pole barn (that's about 100 ft away from the house/router) and it didn't work.. Maybe I should try a different outlet in the barn?

[@richardlloydusa]

Try every plug you have out there. But if it does not solve the problem for you I would suggest running a CAT6 outdoor rated Ethernet cable to the barn instead here's some examples at Amazon(paid): amzn.to/3SEXiz0 That will give you the most reliable connection. A single CAT6 cable can be as long as 300 feet (maximum length). Thank you so much again for commenting, watching and the very kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀

Hi Richard, will this work in an apartment with only one ethernet port? The outlet where I want to put my PC is about 8-10 feet away from the ethernet port, so I'm not wanting to run a long ethernet cable on the floor or ceiling. Thank you.

Thanks for the test and the deep dive. Just one remark given that the application from TP Link show 870 Mbps connection state and that the real throuput ist around 170 Mbps i will just keep my fingers away from these kind of bridging.

[@winknotes]

Thanks for the video. This was helpful to me deciding how to get internet out to my barn which is about 200 feet from the house. My understanding is they need to be plugged into outlets that are on circuits on the same side of the panel bus (same side of the panel). So as you stated they'll still connect on different circuits but the plugs you said wouldn't communicate might have been on circuits that are on different sides of your electric panel. Maybe not but that's my understanding.

[@surveying482]

cant find -any information on this so ima ask. What's better av600 or av1000?

Can I use different cat5e cables? I have two but they are different brands. Both are quality cables.

[@tomlloyd9364]

I have several Ethernet over powerline adapters and from different brands. They work together but speeds vary depending on a few variables including combination of location and brand used.

[@richardlloydusa]

I wasn't aware that you could mix and match them but now that I think of it they would all be part of the same network as far as Ethernet is concerned so they would work together but I am doubting that a Netgear adapter would pair with a TP-Link through the electrical wiring network, am I correct on that? Thank you for watching, commenting and the valuable feedback. I appreciate it greatly. All the best. 👍😀

[@tomlloyd9364]

Richard Lloyd I think they all use the same protocols but for different speeds, so to answer clearly, they do all work together because I have Cisco, tp link and netgear all working together. I think I have a fourth brand too but I forgot what it was. I use one of them to connect a second WiFi router that was getting cut off when using WiFi each time we turned on the microwave.

[@richardlloydusa]

So the TP-Link monitoring software can see the other brands too? Thank you for watching, commenting and the valuable feedback. I appreciate it greatly. All the best. 👍😀

[@tomlloyd9364]

Richard Lloyd good question. I don’t use any software for any of them. I also don’t use their encryption function.

[@richardlloydusa]

The encryption is automatic on the TP-Link adapters. When they link together the communication between them is encrypted (inside your house wiring). I think I understand what you mean by they all work with each other now. Thanks.

[@greenpill810]

Quality video.. I hardly comment but you certainly deserve a thumps up, for taking your time to explain in details.

[@yessikg]

I'm definitely getting this instead of a wifi extender, thank you for the through review

[@andyPeyret]

Couple of comments. Firstly the results you got with LanBench. Alarm bells sounded twice for me, firstly, the result on the right had around 6.5MB of managed memory, the one on the left just 75KB. The session on the right was the slower one .. hmmm. Later on you were doing a ping test, the ping was slow when LanBridge was running and suddenly was fast once LanBridge was terminated. From this we now know that each session of LanBridge is having a significant impact on LAN performance, at least in terms of latency on the device the session is running on. Given you had both sessions on the screen at the time , the second test to be run was seem likely impacted by the first session. I'll have a wild guess you did cat6 first and cat5e second (another assumption, the cable was 5e not 5 ... i haven't seen cat5 for almost 2 decades). Cat 6 is in MOST circumstances not worth the cost difference and will not demonstrate any speed advantages. If we look at the physical differences, Cat6 has a spacer between the data wires within the shrouding so may offer a few percent difference in electrically noisy environment. Cat6 also MAY have additional screening - ironically most cat 6 cable is terminated with non-shielded plugs or is plugged into non-shielded jacks so any shielding is of debatable benefit. I've used shielded cat6 successfully in a very electrically noisy manufacturing environment with lots of large electric motors causing all kinds of electrical fields. For me, Cat6 was a solution to a problem that didn't exist. Great, it theoretically supports a (faster) transfer speed of around IIRC 2200Mb over around 90 metres ... Network cards come in 100,1000 and 10GE so cat6 can't support the 10Gig transfer rates and much cheaper cat5e supports the 1Gig rate anyway. Cat6 MAY support 10GE over (much) shorter lengths but there no guarantees in the specifications that it will do so. Cat6a on the other hand is appropriate but lacks the power saving abilities of cat 7 and in a big data centre, those watts all have to be cooled so can prove important. In other words for the home, cat5e is fine. If you're running a server farm then cat7 / fibre, especially given the power saving of cat7 vs cat6a, however cat7 is a right sod to route/bend so you will see cat6a in the data centre.

[@ExO_MaNiA]

Please do the 2Mbps Model, AV2000. I am having a hard time making a decision whether it is viable now on 2020..

[@matthewjbauer1990]

If you need 2 plugs, get the AV2000. As a bonus, you get a pass through power on both ends. The only real difference I found in research was that the AV2000 is basically 2x gigabit (AV1000) ports combined (hence AV2000 name). I researched and found that most wall power on "older homes", and I really don't know what classifies an older home other than a newer home is less then 10 years old most likely won't be able to support full gigabit speeds (you can get close but not 100%). That said, I got the AV2000 because I wanted the pass through power AND the 2nd port. I plan to have unit A connect to the cable modem under my TV and unit B connect to router/switch/WiFi I plan to move to my office/new network box I am building. I plan to have 1 Ethernet on unit B go into the WiFi and 1 Ethernet go into the switch if speeds allow. Otherwise I will just connect the switch into WiFi and WiFi into the AV2000 and leave 1 Ethernet free on unit B for something. If I remember to update after my testing, I will.

[@HeelerHouse]

Do you mean 2000mbps? If it was 2mbps, it would be viable in 2003. 2Gbps is what you mean, because AV2000 is 2000mbps, aka 2 Gbps (Gigabits per second)

[@jaytmoon]

Connecting the Ethernet cable to your computer will connect you to the network it should have little effect on your TV or Xbox.

Although NAS works on it, I prefer to do some wired connection between the main "router place" on the ground floor and the PC in my room. I will research if it is possible to find AV1000/2000 in Japan and maybe buy it. As I live in a narrow tall house, the ethernet connection is somehow impossible for me right now. The wiring is 15 y.o., hopefully, cheap Japanese sparkies know their craft ;) As your English is very clean, I can easily listen and 1.5x. Good luck and thank you ;)

the Max I get out of these things is 200mbps up and download, that is highly because the routers in the next room and the house is new so it has modern good wiring, I wouldn't recommend this for gigabit speeds over a local lan but for internet its great.

Looks like you lost weight.

[@richardlloydusa]

If you look at my videos from 3 years ago you can see where I weighed 225 Lbs (102 kg). I now weigh in at a range that varies from 167 Lbs (75 kg) to 170 Lbs (77 kg) and I workout every day. I am thinking that is the difference that you see and I feel much better. Thank you for noticing, watching and commenting. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀

Is it possible to connect 6 powerline adapters in one house? And can I connect PC computers and Apple computers at the same time?

[@chengcongli3272]

Will I be able to plug this in to my pc when I already have a wifi adapter installed or would i have to uninstall my wifi adapter?

[@mysteriouscharacter6452]

andy li You figure it out?

[@richardlloydusa]

The two can work at the same time. Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀

[@ianmentdesign]

NOTE: The big part of making sure that different outlets will work together with the Powerline adapters is if it's on the same Phase, not the panel. Some homes take in 2, or even all 3 phases, and this won't work if the reciprocals are on different phases.

Quick question. Does the adapter that would be connected to the router have to be directly connected, or could it be plugged into a wall Ethernet jack? in my case there is an Ethernet jack across the hall from the room that i need wired internet in and i was wondering if it would be faster to plug it in there or by the router. Thanks.

[@richardlloydusa]

If speed is what you require connecting directly to the router will give you the fastest performance over the power line adapters. The power line adapters are good when you require connection in places where it is difficult to run Ethernet cables. Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀

[@danj8038]

great video I was wondering how far away the powerline is from the router?

[@EvertGuzman]

Daniel it claims up to 1000 feet

[@sudeepr5277]

Hi I just bought one of these and am having issues with them. They pair up fine but the connectivity is flakey. Unfortunate all of our powerpoints are about 2-3inched off the ground so you can’t plug the extenders directly into the wall. So I had to use a power board. The instructions say don’t do this but I have no other choice. I’m wondering if this is why I am having issues

[@richardlloydusa]

I am not sure what you mean as far as a "power board" I am going to assume that it is a power bar or power strip. Many of these are surge suppressors and have internal electronics to protect whatever is connected to them and that interferes with these devices, hence why they say don't use them. Try a straight extension cord, the shorter the better and see what happens then. They are just straight through cables and may work for you. Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀

[@TimeWillTellAll]

If you are in the U.S.A. or Canada, another option is to purchase a rotating duplex outlet from 360electrical. I had a similar issue where the bottom wall outlet is less than an inch from the floor. Installed the rotating duplex outlet and have no issues. One thing to remember is to turn off the circuit breaker before installing so you don't get a few dozen volts of electricity going through you.

[@raedjaradat470]

I have one question please How is the durability of these devices as I have read that they get very hot and may make a fire hazard, also they die very quickly.

[@evangraham4325]

If I wanted to use this for ps4 what upload speeds will I be able to achieve?( I’m trying to stream on twitch in 720p)

[@dailyhealthever9288]

will this work for ethernet? Most work from home jobs require ethernet only and no wifi and the ethernet upload speed must be about 5mpb...I have an ethernet cord but my upload speed is only 1.38 mpb and I need it to be higher. They do not accept wifi.

[@ryanjames4119]

I have a device on the opposite side of the house of my router. Will this adapter still work, or does everything need to be on the same circuit?

[@GavinLeeSimpson]

The existing copper cables in your electrical network transfer the data. If you have one consumer unit it will work.

[@stevengallay7325]

What about plugging a second router to power line adapter?

[@4vickiekaye]

Hi Richard, Great video. My concern is that will these work if the outlet at my router is not on the same exact circuit in the panel at the outlet that I need near my Roku. You said that this worked except for a few outlets in your home? My other concern is does this increase my electric bill? I have read reviews on similar products that said this happened. I believe these units power down when not in use and maybe similar units do not. Thanks for posting this detailed video, these are the exact units I was considering buying.

[@rajaupadhyay3265]

Oh thanks for the video you r my go to guy for networking , loads of good wishes from India

[@kkovler1]

what ever happened to wireless connections? are they not fine?

[@richardlloydusa]

WIFI is perfectly fine but as you know the range is limited and it's is subject to interference and latency. This solution allows you to connect to nodes on your network securely over your existing household wiring without running Ethernet cable or dealing with the limitations of WIFI and you can add more nodes if you wish. My goal in publishing this video was to show people an option to WIFI or Ethernet cable, it's benefits and limitations. Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀

Painfully long

[@richardlloydusa]

I aim to make my videos informative and educational so that the novice can understand what I am saying and showing. LOL. This video easily took 16 to 20 hours to make and the editing process where I cut it down considerably was another 4 hours of work. So trust me I understand long. In the end I hope it will help people and maybe teach them something they did not know before. I aim for adding value. As a side note that you may find funny, I shot just the intro scene to one of my videos 67 TIMES just to get it the way I liked it and many of the scenes in the video have been shot multiple times as well. Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀

Richard Lloyd good man Richard 😃

[@spaindavid1125]

My main concern with internet over power would be packet error rate. Especially if the power line runs near an appliance. 200mbps is great but I suspect actual throughput is a bit slower.

[@richardlloydusa]

Even at 100 Mbps regardless of the advertising, I would say that is good. I did not have any packet loss on any of the plugs but I did have variance in speed between different plugs. So I think it's a good solution for the appropriate use. A CAT6 cable is the best solution if you can run it. Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀

[@roberthowland4503]

How far will they go? I need about 300 or so will I need to buy more units?

[@EvertGuzman]

Robert Howland up to 300 meters or 1000 feet

[@hristiantodorov3923]

Awesome video, thanks! So your ping test was with the Ethernet powerline adapters on the same fuse circuit and you got ping times from 3ms to 10ms . That is not ideal I would say :) ... did you manage to improve those times ?

[@hristiantodorov3923]

I have a 5ghz wifi (shared with 2Ghz band, not that it makes a difference if disabled) and I got 1ms to 2ms ping times.

[@richardlloydusa]

It varies but I think the performance was very good. As I have stated in the past my number one preference would be to run a CAT6 cable to connect any two network nodes but that is not always a feasible solution. These adapters are good alternative. Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀

[@esmaezhar]

Richard Lloyd i am planning to purchase the av1000 or av1300 for my living room. The connection is to supply my networking to tv, soundbar, android box, apple tv and box by my isp provider. Currently my internet supply is 300 mbps/50 mbps but i cant get a maximum signal from my 5ghz (ac88u) as my living rooom located at the ground floor while my router is on 1st floor. is av1000 is enough for my setup? or should i go for av1300 for maximum usage? tq
