As you describe, they will not be able to work for you. It takes a ground plug in order to be able to use MIMO technology, in which two separate streams of data are transmitted between devices. Since one of the data streams passes over the power circuit, and the other passes over the ground wire, when it worked with one of your adapters for three-prong devices, you would be paying more for performance that you won't ever receive since your wiring would not support There are a few other TP's as well The link kits that are not MIMO (usually marketed as 500 or 1,000) For 600 mbps streams, such as the one I have, all streams are delivered in one direction. As well as being cheaper, they are also easier to use. Do not purchase this if your wiring does not contain a ground wire, as you will be wasting Buying a cheap kit is the best choice. I've only plugged in ground wires in all of my wiring, so I can't say how well the two-prong designs are going to work with your old The least you can do though is avoid spending money on something that never really performs as needed.
It's just fine that my router is on the second floor and my PC and NAS are on the first. The whole plan was to have WiFi throughout the house, and not to run wires to the PC and NAS.
MIMO is employed internally by the device between the endpoints to boost speed, and the 2 ports make the device a switch (and I believe the powerline is also a switch). However, it does not allow a link to be established between the ports. Since I get between 250 and 300 visits a month I will not get any where NEAR what was expected in speed increase even with Gigabit Ethernet connected. It will only send 350Mbps to the devices even with Gigabit Ethernet connected.
This device is located in a shed. I have two 8MP cameras and one older camera with a resolution of less than 1 MP connected to it via a PoE switch. As I have the settings I have, I usually get a score of My device can handle 25 MB/s through the device. Occasionally, I will get no signals (8-10) over the course of a day There is a 10 Mbps transmission rate, but otherwise it seems to be working fine.

You need to learn the advantages as well as the disadvantages of this technology. Living in the narrow home that has many floors made to be spacious vertically is not easy for me. My network solution had to be an alternative to drilling and running cables since it is difficult to do so. I'm Wi-Fi It is fine, but the speed test results have been inconsistent when I have run them, as well as a drop in the speed. My knowledge before hand was that varying results could be expected based on the way your house's electric lines are set up as well as the distance from which the cables are being run from. Additionally, I knew there was a possibility they would not work at all depending on the circuit breaker placement in your home. Some appliances also create interference, which contributes to the problem. The only thing I could do at the time was take a leap of faith. Results were impressive, and I was very pleased. I was able to access nearly all of my bandwidth from any room in the house not only with these, but also with my WiFi router. I did a number of tests, even with my router in the basement and the adapter in the top floor, and there was no more than a 10 percent difference in speed. In general, the upload tends to be affected more than the download, but not by a great deal. Regardless of your home's decor, I highly recommend these assuming the products work in your home. I intend to buy another pair of these in the future. Negative reviews here are unfair to a lot of people. Adapters for powerlines are not a universal solution and this is due to the limitations of the technology, not the products. If you want to verify that they will work prior to purchasing them, you may be willing to invest a bit of money.
The Netgear 500Mbps Networking Adapters and the D-Link 500Mbps Networking Adapters I own are both high-speed Here's the link. My experience with them so far has been pretty good, but I am also a little disappointed that they don't perform at 500 Mpbs. I average about 200 mbps on my best connection, and around 80 mbps on my worst connection. The new 2000Mbps adapters did not live up to my hopes after a poor experience with 1200Mbps adapters in the past. The pros are that these are actually quite effective. During that time, my slowest connection reached over 200mbps and my best connection reached just about 325. A 375mpbs connection. The amount of bandwidth is more than enough for 4K HDR video and it saturates my 100Mbps Internet connection when my LAN is transferring data. As well as being compatible with other brands of Powerline gear, I was pleased with them. The Networking and D-Link manufacturers fall into this category Here's the link. These, unfortunately, tend to be much more power hungry. The two circuit breaker issues I encountered tripped me off. I lacked the patience it would take to use these over a long period of time to determine whether the circuit breaker was compatible. By using an "800G Power Center" power strip, I was able to fix the issue. They work great and let me clean up and/or smooth out Powerline signals, and I own three of them. Last but not least, they are very bulky and do not appear very attractive. My overall experience with my purchase has been quite satisfactory.
(updated review) Ownership update for second day I have lost my TP-link authentication upon using these powerline adapters It is a router called the Link Archer C9. The truth is out there. The C9 from Cisco has been near perfect since I bought it in Sept 2015 (just shy of three years). During all this powerline adaptor testing I haven't changed the settings of my C9 once (as a simple access point). The pair of powerline adapters to the left was plugged in a floor below C9 and the pair to the right was plugged in a floor above C9. Slowly but surely, both of those things started to work. Then 5, then 4. Dropouts occur when 0G devices are used. I am having problems connecting my Nest to my smart plugs, Alexa is not responding, and my smart plugs stop responding. Earlier today I noticed that my freaking nest rebooted without any apparent As I test the adaptors throughout the house, the powerline adaptors keep chugging along. My C9 has to be cold cycled after I unplug the powerline adaptors My devices will last between a few hours and a day at the most now, before doing the same thing, dropping them. In this situation, if I plug in the Ethernet port on the back of the C9 (acting as a switch), I'm able to ping it, obtain an IP address from my DHCP server, and connect outbound through my gateway, but no WiFi will work. The SSIDs are broadcasting, but even if I assign a static IP, I do not appear to be getting any packet movement through the router (I have not verified this Those powerline adapters seem to have an adverse impact on radios, or power supplies, linked to this router (see below). In my 15 years as an EE, I've been setting up and troubleshooting networks at home, at corporations, and in the industrial setting as well. In case I had messed up with the C9's cabling, configuration, power cycled the C9, or moved it before testing these adapters, well I would give them the benefit of the doubt and say that whatever I did to screw it up was just an accident. This program has been working for months (since it was installed after moving) This has been going on for three years. I'm not making any assumptions, but just putting it out there in case it's a coincidence. My original 12V C9 adapter was rated at 3 amps for 15 minutes when I was load testing it I tested it for 20 minutes and it worked Having plugged in a powerline adaptor, I scoped its 12V output to see what it looked like In addition to enhancing the noise level of the AC adaptor, the powerline adaptors also inject nearly 800mV of high frequency noise into it. Specifically, I hear the noise from the AC adaptor every 35 microseconds for a duration of about 400 microseconds, and yep, straight There was not even a transmission between adaptors here, just a preamble and payload, likely broadcasting for other nodes to discover. As with any powerline adaptor, you can find some noise, however, depending on the frequency, this noise can easily cause a problem with switching mode. When it doesn't work, I assume the AC adaptor itself (I didn't note whether it was a linear or switching range, but I have to assume switching to get 3). When this is the case (or any powerline adaptor using 3A at 12V), then any downstream electronics (the C9 being no exception) can quickly get into trouble. In view of my first-hand experience, I have decided to avoid powerline adaptors to the fullest extent possible. Make due with WiFi as much as you can. Originally reviewed on the first day of As you can see, my setup is The 1st floor of the building The equipment includes an internet gateway/router, a NAS system. The second floor of the building An Archer C9 acting as an access point is connected via cat5 from the 1st floor. The third floor is located at The use of hardwired connections for various office devices (printers, etc. ) was needed. A summary of speed results is listed below
1) standby units linked together (one connecting to the other) in the following manner Please note This result shows 997Mbps (124Mpbs) in TPlinkUtil. A NAS can transfer files at 328Mbps (41MBps)
- Wi-Fi NAS offers a transfer rate of 376Mbps (47MBps)*2), with one unit on the 1st floor and the other on the 2nd floor at three different points (kitchen, dining, and living) Please note Using TplinkUtil, the numbers appeared to be It runs at 229 Mbps (19-) A 29MBps download. Transfer of files to/from the NAS 120 The speed is 146Mbps (15-bit) B) - (17MBps) I have a wireless NAS (5G AC) transfer that is 528Mbps (66MBps)
3) with one on the first floor, the other on the third Please note The following were shown in TplinkUtil The bandwidth is 79Mbps (4-wire) A 10MBps connection. Up to 96 Mbps (12MBps)* file transfer between NAS and host computer. Transfer speed is 184Mbps (23 MBps) via wifi. I should note that these adaptors have very little benefit over an actual wireless network card, as far as my setup is concerned. My computer ran at the same speed by using a cheap no-name 300N USB adapter. Also, if you want to browse the web and do speed tests all you need, that should work fine too.
However, please be aware that You should know that the 220 service in most US households is split up into two 120 segments. Depending on where the circuit breaker is installed in the electrical panel, it is on one leg or another (the circuit breakers, when viewed vertically, alternate between one leg and another). You must be on the same leg as the other adapter(s) in order to get full performance from a powerline adapter (of any kind). Yes, they both have ground and neutral, but to receive the benefit of the "MIMO" system, you need the other leg as well.
