LAN Speed Test a a simple free to use application that creates a file of any given size and pushes it across a network to a given destination folder, measuring the maximum speed of throughput during the file transfer. To get a better and more accurate throughput speed, we set the file size to 1GB. To add a variation to the data set, we tested the adaptors at a varying range of distances by plugging in one plug next to our switch and then the other to start right next to it. We will then move the other plug furthest point we can (roughly speaking) and then half way between to see how distance affects throughput.
As I’ve seen with Netgear’s Powerline kit previously, distance has little effect on the link speed and throughput rate between the two adaptors. On the wireless front this is a similar scenario with a very good throughput rate from the wireless n adaptor on the remote end of the powerline.
So what does it do?Lan from Plugs?
Perfect choice as AP. And good review. ;)
So if you were in the market for one of these, which would give you best wifi at the second plug?
Could you have an Ethernet out from second plug to say, sky HD+? and still use wifi at the second plug?
