pollutionblues Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I use these Ben: http://www.ebuyer.com/775057-tp-link-tl-pa4020p-kit-v1-20-av600-2-port-powerline-adapter-with-ac-pass-through-tl-pa4020p-kit-v1-20 Never had a problem with them, definitely better than gaming on wifi.

bagsta69 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I used to use the TP link ones, Till I punched a hole in the floor. They worked fine, not as good as hard wired but as Mr Blues said, better than wifi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RADDY1993 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I use TP Link also and they work great, remember not to plug into extension cords though as it can hinder performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iAmMoDBoX Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 It really depends on the house. Some will perform better than others. My friend used them and while better than wifi he still had major ping and jitter issues in a fairly new house. Eventually just gave in and ran a 200 foot wire from one end to the other. http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-powerline-networking-kit/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColonicBoom Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I had some tp link ones too back when my router was at the other end of the house. They worked pretty well, even over trailing sockets (not recommended), definitely better than wifi. In the end I took a hammer drill to the walls and ran a cable though. I made lots of holes.

BENORMOUS Posted September 15, 2017 Author Share Posted September 15, 2017 One more question,would it be a good or bad idea to run the netduma out of the other home plug,so ethernet out of isp hub into home plug downstairs ethernet out of homeplug upstairs straight into port 1 of duma and run everything from up there?
