very nice test. From what I've read, the xbox one uses 802.11N for its WiFi. This is limited to about 60Mbps. If you had a higher network speed such as 75 Mbps or 100 Mbps, you would start to see a stronger difference between Ethernet and WiFi. One last item you could test is a MoCA network line. Similar to using your Powerline box, you could get a router that connects via the CoAxle network in the house. A segment of coaxle is dedicated to networking. There are two MoCA network protocols theses days. MoCA 1.0/1.1 or MoCA 2.0. There is a network speed difference between the two. I think the MoCA 2.0 max speed is 450 Mbps? dont quote me on that.

[@brianthesnail1234]

good video vince ... however one factor you havent considered ... many modern devices such as the xbox one use the 5ghz wireless standard and this will deliver significantly better speeds than the 2.5ghz standard .... and thats why the xbox one delivered such good speed test results ... granted wired connection will allways be king ... and powerline adapters are just too much "hit and miss " .. older homes with poor wiring seems to hold back powerline adapter performance ..... i have all wired and buy only white cat6e cables so they are virtually invisible on the skirting board ( and you mrs wont hound you about "all those wires " ) ...... good video vince ..been subscribed for nearly a year now ...

DyNaMiC KhAoSs With the signals on wireless it depends on how many walls are in between how many devices are on the same band (2.5 or 5Ghz) and also the material of the wall and thickness and like he said the interference of other devices around the router can affect the strength so if that plays into effect that can be why you’re wireless is so poor and power line depends on the adapter itself and the age of the house / wires in the house as the older he wireless the less capable they are same as how Ethernet works I hope this helps you

I took your advice and did the same as you do in this video. Before putting ethernet cable into the Xbox it showed 28 download speed, after plugging the ethernet in its only gone up to 29 download. When I run a wireless test through my phone and a wired test through the Xbox at the same time, they both show 29 download speed...are they sharing that, or are they each recieving 29 download speed? Great vid by the way.

[@waynetemplar2183]

Really informative video. I'm also surprised at the wireless result. In my own house the router is downstairs in one corner of the house whilst my son's bedroom is upstairs in the opposite corner so WiFi is hit and miss at times leading to much rage quitting and teenage whining! I'm going to go for the Netgear Powerline - I'll post some results here at the weekend as a comparison to yours.

+Wayne Templar OK here are my results (average of 3 tests and speeds in Mbps) D/L U/L Latency Packet Loss Signal StrengthPowerline 8.9 0.85 183ms 0% N/AWireless 3.7 0.48 194ms 0% 51%Wireless (with extender) 9.0 0.86 191ms 1% 84%What this shows is that the Powerline and Wireless with an extender are able to get near the full speed of my internet connection which is only a puny 10Mbps. When tested on my PCs the Powerline delivered a LAN D/L and U/L of around 55Mbps (on a 100Mbps Ethernet card) and the wireless delivered 32Mbps on a 54Mbps card). So the Powerline looks to have the better performance, but what the tests really show is that the wireless extender really helps and my internet connection speed sucks :'(

The average ping Xbox-router may be similar for power line adaptors and nearby unimpeded WiFi, but the standard deviation of the ping will generally be much lower with power line adapters. A lower more stable ping is much more important for online multiplayer games than high download speeds.

+Eduardo Qo A regular Cat5 ethernet cable should be good unless you plan on getting more than 100Mbs down or up from your ISP provider.

[@eduardoqo2700]

+Guimatics alright, thank you so much! (:

[@AIMarketingFunnels]

Latency and bandwidth are not the same thing. Typically, the higher the connection speed the higher the clock rate that the data is sent resulting in lower ping times, but not necessarily higher bandwidth because the provider limits your bandwdith in the provisioning of the circuit (they do not change the clock speed, only the amount of cpu time given to move the actual data). If you tested the bandwidth being used while gaming you would find that most games use under 128K and could run on an ISDN, DSL, Cable or FIOS. The ping times would not be the same because of the clock rate, not the data rate. On my 30G Spectrum I had 29ms ping for both hardwired and wireless (using a fast Asus router). With Frontier FiOS (150/150) I get 17ms when hardwired. The lower ping time for FIOS is based on the higher clock speed, which also prevents me from using coax within the house. What I should have done was a traceroute when I had the Spectrum to see how many hops I was going through. You can have the fastest connection in the world, but if you are going through 20 hops to reach a server you will have a high latency, even if your bandwidth is good. NOTE: this is a better example of latency and bandwidth not being related. The time to send a packet across the USA might take 100ms due to the number of routers it goest through while maintaining a great download speed. Fast data rate, but slow latency.

[@therealag1]

Powerlines are still technically better then wireless because you have a more consistent connection. Usually your ping and download/upload speeds are going to stay very consistent while with wireless, it could change drastically. Depending on how good your router is, it's most likely better to get a powerline connection with a consistent 20mbps then a wireless connection that jumps for 20mbps to 50mbps to 15 and so on.

[@googlewolly]

When it comes to gaming, the download speed doesn't matter. As long as it's at least a few megaBITS, it should be more than enough. I'd rather have a 15 megabit connection with powerline over 60 wifi because wifi isn't as stable and will almost certainly lag more

[@DaveRepairs]

Think this video is a bit miss-leading, the 'ping test' is not responding with the 'virgin router' but an' Xbox server' (possibly in USA or outside UK), so the 156-160ms results is based on one result and is only 4ms difference which is considered to be nothing. When you play a well designed game like Fortnite, it will try and connect you up to players within your same country, what is important is the 'stability' for a FPS gamer, the speed of download is useful but the stability is what we need. So Wired and Powerline should top the results and then Wifi. If you was more interested in downloading games or games with rich content then you would then consider WiFi as a strong alternative as the ping ms becomes less important.
